sven233 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I have to say that the Jets have had the best draft so far. And I am saying that based on their first 2 picks!!!!! They got 2 guys, D'Brick and Mangold, that were THE BEST AT THEIR POSITIONS!!!! On top of that they are both O-Linemen that will be dominant for many years to come. Granted, it might not be right away, but they have solidified their O-Line for years. Also, the other players they picked up were solid. Not on D'Brick's and Mangold's level, but they are solid. San Fran also had a pretty good draft as well.
Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I like Arizona's: QB Leinart, OG Deuce Latui, and TE Pope.
nodnarb Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I like the Jets first three picks a lot, but they were in the butterzone of this draft. But still, it never makes sense to grade a draft until you have at least one season to assess the players.
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Ithink the Jets so far and also the Eagles! Don't think we did that bad also although everyone will tell us differently!
BoondckCL Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 This is a stupid topic. I'm sorry, it is. The fact of the matter is that year in and year out there are certain teams that have "great drafts" on the first day. But really there is no way to tell how anybody did. The only thing you guys are going off of are names, potential, and reputation. NO HARD FACTS. Wait three years, and then ask this question.
colin Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I like Arizona's: QB Leinart, OG Deuce Latui, and TE Pope. 677024[/snapback] i understand that these are all exciting big name players, but arizona had a massive passing O last year. they have a crap D all over the place and a suspect O line. the one OG might be a nice fit, but they will get very little next year from this draft
mead107 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 the BILLS , why would anyone that is a bills fan think any different ???

It is impossible to know for sure, but to say that you can't have an opinion right now is nuts! Of course you can have an opinion and it may or may not be right. But, based on what we know to this point, you can formulate an opinion. As time moves on, that opinion may or may not change. To say this is a stupid topic???? That is going a little too far.
willis4life Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I like Arizona's: QB Leinart, OG Deuce Latui, and TE Pope. 677024[/snapback] I agree. Getting Pope made their offense that more potent. Thats a heck of a passing attack, and great runner in the 'Edge' They will give the 'Hawks a run for their money this year.

That is going a little too far. 677059[/snapback] You may be right about a few things. But most of the people who bring up topics like this think that all of the people in the first round are going to be hall of famers. I agree that you can formulate an opinion, but there is no certainty behind those opinions so therefore it is just empty reterect. It is not a personal attack of any kind, it is just that i think it is a little pre mature for this.
CookieG Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Houston. The best defensive player in the draft; a new starting OLB; (DeMarco Ryans) 2 upgrades to their OL both with lots of upside (Winston and Spencer).
MDH Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 I like Arizona's: QB Leinart, OG Deuce Latui, and TE Pope. 677024[/snapback] That looks like a good draft but at some point Arizona is going to have to stop opposing teams from scoring. Denny Green thinks he's putting together a fantasy football team.
Ghost of BiB Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 WHO HAS HAD THE BEST DRAFT...., SO FAR? There's this place I know in Brussels...

There is no such thing as a sure thing. Maybe I should have worded the post a little differently.... Maybe something like...... Based on what we already know about the players that were drafted, who do you think will end up having the best draft 3-5 years from now? Of course it is impossible to rate this draft for the future, but I was shooting for who, on paper so far, do you think had the best draft? We won't know who is right or wrong for 3-5 more years! But, it is fun to speculate. That is all this thread was meant for - just meant for fun!

But there is a time and place for wild speculation about the draft, and that is draft day. I suppose you would rather be discussing more serious topics this weekend, like whether or not Roscoe is too small to play in the NFL, or who will start at QB.
Orton's Arm Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 the BILLS , why would anyone that is a bills fan think any different ??? 677043[/snapback] Suppose Mike Tyson chose to pick a fight with a little old lady. I'd be rooting for the lady to win the fight. But there's a difference between which person I hope would win, and which person I expect to win. I hope the Bills had the best draft. But if you were to offer me a choice between Ferguson and Mangold on the one hand, or Whitner and McCargo on the other . . . that's an easy choice.
