Who do you think had the best draft?

Sf / Cleveland / Atlanta / Denver / Oakland . I do not like the Falcons , but I wouldn't be suprised if Anderson is a hell of a player . Denver may have a major improvement rushing the passer , Oakland may have two major steals in Moses and Bush . At this point , all of these drafts are ranked on paper ,,,,,, we shall see .

That's a crazy, crazy financial difference.

I agree . Pitty those teams that passed on Quin if he is a franchise QB one day !

its a toss up between sf and clev

Man, wouldn't that be a story -- I think more than anything else, what doomed Quinn was that more teams were actually solid with their quarterback situation than ever before.

There were questions about his accuracy, but you would think the fact that he was groomed by Charlie Weiss might have given him more of an edge than he actually got.

Best drafts:

Cleveland-Quinn and Thomas were the top two guys on my board. IMO, this could be the greatest first round duo in history. Time will tell if they would have been in position next year to land Henne or Brohm in the first round, but the year of NFL experience that Quinn will have over them between will make a big difference between now and 2010.

Houston-Amobi Okoye at #10 is highway robbery. I think some of the value that is Matt Schaub has to be considered in this draft for them.

Arizona-They only had 5 picks, but they got Levi Brown, Alan Branch, and Ben Patrick in that haul. Buster Davis and Breaston aren't slouches either.

Jacksonville-Slid down and still landed Reggie Nelson in round one. Derek Landri was a huge steal on day 2 and by this time next year will be capable of replacing either Stroud or Henderson on a temporary basis and provide instant pass rush.

Kansas City-Landed a guy who has just as much potential as Calvin Johnson in Dwayne Bowe. Appear serious about improving the defense by grabbing two day 1 DL (Turk McBride, Tank Tyler).

Philadelphia-Kolb and Abiamiri will both be great NFL players. Kolb projects to the NFL even better than McNabb did--he will still have to wait his turn though.


ok thats stupid the eagles draft sucked took a qb in the second round who wasnt even the 3rd best one there and what about carolina

got jon beason in the first round after trading down and picking up dwayne jarrett at 45 when most people at one point had him going at pick 7-15 and getting the best center at pick 59 where everyone says that he will be a monster and multiple probowl player and then to get charles johnson as mike rucker replacement and getting him late in the 3rd round they got maximum value for every pick the panthers made a killing in the draft hands down best draft this year addressed every need except safety and that wasnt a pressing need anyways

Buster's draft analysis

Good drafts:

*Cleveland. They made a genius move (helped by Miami's stupidity) by managing to get a top OL and Brady Quinn both in the first round. They got a lot of secondary depth too.

*The Raiders had a very good draft too, QB, RB, TE, WR...not enough OL though, so we'll have to see if all that firepower on offense can overcome a horrible line. My guess is no, but they did get a LOT of talent.

*The Cards did well with only a few picks. Levi Brown, Alan Branch and Buster Davis are all big picks.

*Titans with Griffin and RB Chris Henry have 2 solid starters with their first 2 picks.


Funny picks:

*The Lions chose Manny Ramirez in Round 4.
*The Bills have a guy who's jersey will say "Ah You" on the back. C.J. Ah You .



Dumb moves:

*Miami picking Ginn, Jr. He's NOT worth a #9 pick and although they need a new KR since losing Wes Welker...this was NOT the place to do it. They're also assuming Trent Green will be able to last a full season IF they can get him. I guess they're confident in Cleo Lemon.

*New Orleans picking Robert Meachem in Round 1. Meachem is good but NO is stacked with young talent at WR. They lost Horn, but he barely played last year anyways. I guess they have no other needs.

*Falcons passing on a good QB. They'll need a backup and MAYBE replacement for Vick if he gets in more legal trouble. They lost a capable backup/replacement and their only other QB on the roster is D.J. Shockley. They did get a good pick with Jamaal Anderson (ha, another Jamaal Anderson...).


AND, the Skins:

Landry is a GREAT pick and will make it pretty scary for WRs and TEs to play against us with him and Taylor back there ready to decapitate people. LB depth is no longer a problem. We have a great backup QB for the future since Brunell will retire soon and Todd Collins doesn't belong on an NFL roster. A backup TE was a nice bonus. We didn't address DL, but by the 4th Round, there weren't many good options left, so we filled other needs with some good valued-picks. I think we did very well with the picks we had for once.

Im gonna say Cleveland had the best draft and then NE. Cleveland got EVERYTHING they wanted and more and NE added quality depth and Moss (damn, they are going to be dangerous if he decides to show up in 2007).

Man, wouldn't that be a story -- I think more than anything else, what doomed Quinn was that more teams were actually solid with their quarterback situation than ever before.

There were questions about his accuracy, but you would think the fact that he was groomed by Charlie Weiss might have given him more of an edge than he actually got.The accuracy issues surrounding Quinn are legitmate, and would be there at the NFL level, but when Quinn misses, its always low or in front of a guy. The dangerous places to miss that lead to INTs are high, and/or behind a guy. So while it's a legitimate criticism, it should not have any effect on his value whatsoever. You'd figure he would make up the inconsistencies in his completion percentage from accuracy by making the right read more often than most other QBs.

*The Raiders had a very good draft too, QB, RB, TE, WR...not enough OL though, so we'll have to see if all that firepower on offense can overcome a horrible line. My guess is no, but they did get a LOT of talent.People seem to forget that this franchise takes a lot of OLineman every year. If some of the guys they took in 2006 pan out, their OL will improve immensely this year. It's not like they haven't been addressing it, it's just that the guys who played last year sucked.
