During mid-April or early-May http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/marquise-blair-jersey , fan optimism is rampant as teams pick a handful of declared collegiate players who may (or may not) be the difference makers in the upcoming season or seasons to come. No round of the draft receives more scrutiny than the first round. Players selected with the first overall pick, in the top five, ten and so forth, are considered the cream of the crop and look to be compensated accordingly. As a result, team management, experts and fans constantly evaluate every aspect of a first rounder’s game in the short and mid-term to determine whether he was worth the pick.Time is the ultimate determinant if a first round pick was worth his spot http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/cody-barton-jersey , however. Sometimes first round players waste little time in establishing their merit and contribute right away or soon thereafter. Other players waste considerable amounts of time for both the team and fans alike with little to show for their first round selection. Notwithstanding, every NFL franchise has that first round pick who proved to be a reach, a franchise setback or that one player—in some cases two—who severely underperformed. Let’s check out the worst first round pick for each NFL franchise. And yes, it’s a quarterbacks’ league! Last week: 3-9Weeks 1 through 10: 73-75-5Tough week last week. Time to get back on track…Home team shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Cincinnati (-1) vs. ClevelandNow with Cincinnati, Hue Jackson gets his revenge (kind of) and the Bengals take it at home.<em>Pick: Cincinnati (-1)</em>Jacksonville (-3) vs. BuffaloThe Jaguars defense should feast in this one, so much so that their Blake Bortles-led offense won’t be forced to do much.<em>Pick: Jacksonville (-3)</em>Philadelphia (-5) vs. New York GiantsThe Eagles still have a legitimate path to an NFC East title.. although that says more about the NFC East than it does the Eagles.<em>Pick: Philadelphia (-5)</em>New England (-10.5) vs. New York Jets The Jets lose by 31 to the Bills http://www.seattleseahawksteamonline.com/phil-haynes-jersey , have to sit on it through their bye week, and then have to play….. the Patriots. Fun fact: Josh McCown vs. Tom Brady will be the second-oldest QB matchup in NFL history.<em>Pick: New England (-10.5)</em>Baltimore (-11.5) vs. OaklandThe Ravens aren’t built to blow teams out… they win here, but the Raiders will keep it close.<em>Pick: Oakland (+11.5)</em>Tampa Bay (-1.5) vs. San FranciscoExpect a lot of points in this one. Both Jameis Winston and Nick Mullens should put up solid performances.<em>Pick: Tampa Bay (-1.5)</em>Carolina (-3) vs. SeattleThe Seahawks saved their season with a big win on Thursday Night Football vs. the Packers, but neither team looked very good in that one. The Panthers, losers of two straight, are desperate and at home. Those two ingredients sound like a win.<em>Pick: Carolina (-3)</em>Los Angeles Chargers (-13.5) vs. ArizonaThe Bolts need a bounce back win here http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/mike-edwards-jersey , as a matchup on SNF in Pittsburgh next week awaits.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-13.5)</em>Indianapolis (-8) vs. MiamiAndrew Luck is becoming the great player that everyone expected coming out of Stanford.<em>Pick: Indianapolis (-8)</em>Pittsburgh (-3) vs. DenverAt first glance, this seems like a slam-dunk win for the Steelers… but I’m not so convinced. They had to scramble in Jacksonville to come out with a win, and the Broncos will be ready for them.<em>Pick: Denver (+3)</em>Minnesota (-3) vs. Green BayThis Sunday night matchup is a battle for 2nd place in the NFC North. I love Rodgers, but the Vikings are the better team.<em>Pick: Minnesota (-3)</em>Houston (-4) vs. TennesseeThe Titans already have one big win on Monday Night this season, but they won’t get a second. Texans roll.<em>Pick: Houston (-4)</em>
