Since I wasnt here for this thread I want to list a couple drafts I liked so I can look back and see if I was right.

Top 5 I liked....

1. Bengals - Andre Smith, Rey Maualuga, Michael Johnson, Chase Coffman, and Jonathan Luigs were all nice picks. Maybe the best draft ive seen since I started watching the draft in 1996.
2. Giants - Hakeem Nicks, Clint Sintim, William Beatty, Ramses Barden, Travis Beckum, Andre Brown, and Rhett Bomar were all nice picks where they were drafted. I really like Nicks and Beckum.
3. Browns - Alex Mack, Brian Robiskie, Mohamed Massaquoi, David Veikune, Coye Francies, and James Davis are all nice picks.
4. Cardinals - Chris Wells, Cody Brown, Rashad Johnson, Herman Johnson, and Will Davis were all nice picks. Wells should be OROY imo and a serious sleeper to look out for is Will Davis.
5. Raiders - People will call me crazy but I loved the DHB pick. The 2nd round pick of Michael Mitchell in round 2 is boom or bust but I liked his hard hitting style at Ohio.

Top 5 I hated.....

1. Bronocs - Passing on Brian Orakpo for Knowshon Moreno was stupid. Im so happy for us Skins fans they did. Robert Ayers in a 3-4 defense doesnt make sense to me. Trading their 1st round pick next year instead of the one they got fromCHicago to move up to get Alphonso Smith was funny. I like Smith but the Broncos pick might be top 5 while the Bears pick will be alot lower.
2. Chiefs - Drafting Tyson Jackson third overall was just perplexing to me. He better become a stud because they passed on alot of top tier talent for him.
3. Lions - I think Stafford was a huge mistake at #1 overall. I also think Brandon Pettigrew is overrated by a mile. No way I draft a blocking TE in round 1. Even more so when playmaking TEs slipped into lower rounds. Delmas was a nice pick but not over Rey Maualuga.
4. Bucs - I really think Josh Freeman was a really risky pick.
5. Vikings - The Percy Harvin pick was too high for my liking.
