A record tying six trades were made during an exciting 18th Annual Draft Day, which began with the selection of qb Andrew Luck by the 69ers. Luck is the first QB taken #1 overall since Aaron Brooks in 2001 (also selected by the 69ers). United then followed with a QB selection of Robert Griffin III, making it only the second time in league history that QB's went #1 and #2 in the draft (the previous was the Inaugural Draft of 1995). Only three WR's went in the 1st Rd, a rarity considering the previous three drafts were dominated by WR's taken in the 1st Rd. The first WR taken was Justin Blackmon by Tormenta who acquired the pick in the first of a series of major trades that highlighted the evening. Tormenta sent Eli Manning to the 69ers for the pick. Later Darrius Heyward-Bey was traded for the #10 pick and then in a huge surprise, H sent longtime TE Jason Witten to Lake Show for a 2nd Rd pick and 4th in 2013.
