Who do you think had the best draft?

1 Anderson, Jamaal DE 6-6 279 Arkansas
2 Blalock, Justin OT 6-4 329 Texas
2 Houston, Chris CB 5-11 185 Arkansas
3 Robinson, Laurent WR 6-1 193 Illinois State
4 Nicholas, Stephen OLB 6-1 232 South Florida
4 Milner, Martrez TE 6-4 256 Georgia
6 Lewis, Trey DT 6-3 318 Washburn
6 Irons, David CB 5-10 188 Auburn
6 Datish, Doug C 6-4 302 Ohio State
6 Stone, Daren SS 6-3 218 Maine
7 Snelling, Jason RB 5-11 232 Virginia

Weird. Atlanta was on my list of candidates for worst draft. DL was a need, but Anderson screams overrated talent. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's not starting caliber. I'm glad we didn't take him. Blalock is big and slow. I'm not sure how well he will adjust to the next level. A lot of people in the know seem to think Houston is highly overrated.

I like the Milner pick, but Crumpler is already a very solid blocker. Datish might be a steal, but the rest of these picks seem like golddigging.

This isn't a great draft.

I'm scratching my head now. Not saying that you believe this but, if ATL shouldn't have taken Anderson at 8th overall, why should we have taken him at 6th just to fill a need? I agree. As mush as Anderson resembles Julius Perppers his build (muscle definition) and his game doesn't. Blalock did well at the combine and is likely a better prospect than his Texas counterpart Dockery. Houston wasn't drafted too high so there's value there.

We shouldn't have taken him.

We nailed down the best two defensive prospects perfectly in Okoye and Landry. IMO, we just chose the wrong one for our team.
