Teams with the Best and Worst Drafts

Well, St. Louis got Chris Long, so you can't say they had a bad draft. But taking Donnie Avery with the 33rd pick as the first WR over Sweed, Thomas, or Kelly was a huge reach and an awful pick. But it sure did help us!

The Jets also had a questionable move IMO when the traded their 2nd and 4th rounder to move up 7 spots to take Dustin Keller. Bad move. If they stayed put with the 36th pick Keller still would have been there. They already traded their 3rd and 5th rounders during free agency, so this move left them with no picks in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th rounds.

philly was solid... miami probably did the best (got three safe picks at the 3 hardest positions to fill - #1 DE, #1 QB, #1 LT, though henne might only be a good starter and not a great one), and the jaguars got two great pass rushers.

i think carolina and the vikes would be towards the bottom of the list. carolina's draft was pretty ugly. cinncy also drafted 3 wrs while CJ and who'syourmama are still on the team, though that is a bit of a situation. didn't really like houston or oakland that much either. mcfadden is good, but he has the reggie-i-can't-break-tackles-bush syndrome.

or they could have taken brian brohm, since, you know, QB's an actual need of theirs.

i think the raven's blew it with flacco too.

I thought Carolina got some quality players but at too high of a cost.

I think Jacksonville gave up way too much for Harvey

And the Panthers had probably the worst trade of the weekend trading a 2nd, 4th, and 1st in 2009 just to move up to get Otah

CJ totally called it a couple of months ago when he said, and I'm slightyly paraphrasing "We need help on defense. But we'll probably take wide receivers."

Cowboys were set on Felix Jones for weeks, clearly not expecting Rashard Mendenhall to be there. But when he was they should have taken him. Mistake taking Jones over Mendenhall.

Meyo was a mid 25 pick pretty obviously. No one else jumped at LBs until later. Strange because the Pats usually are good value dafters and that works well because they don't normally have holes to fill. I know they needed to get younger on D but Meyo was just an obvious reach. I think unfortunately for them though this draft was short on high end help in the back 7 where they are damn old.I wouldn't be surprised if Belicheat was hoping to get either Derrick Harvey or Keith Rivers when they traded down from 7 to 10. Harvey and Rivers went 8 and 9, and Mayo was certainly a reach after that at 10.

Without question, KC had the best draft. We were among the top 5-10 IMO, but let's see how many of the day 2 guys stick before giving a final grade.

Oh, and Cincy once again went for the low-risk, quality guys

The Enquirer - Round 5: DT Shirley a 'risk' (http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20080427/SPT02/304280006/)

Giving it some thought, Tennessee probably had the worst draft. How do they not grab a top WR to help a struggling passing attack and Vince Young?

Unbelievable. Boy is Cincy dumb. I know they wanted a WR, but Jerome Simpson? He's got potential but it's a bad pick given how badly they need help on D, not to mention Sweed, Kelly, and Deshean Jackson were all still available.

Tennessee passing on all the available wideouts to reach for the East Carolina running back (Chris Johnson) was bad. They have one of the weakest receiving corps in the league. When you draft a QB as high as they did Vince Young, you should at least give the guy a chance with some weapons. Not to mention they used their last two second round picks the past two drafts on RBs Lendale White and Chris Henry. So I don't get this move at all.
