Who in your mind had the worst draft? My pick is Washington. Come on, Devin Thomas, Fred Davis and Malcolm Kelly? Just doesn't make sense to me. I really think we will look back at their draft and just laugh at them. Saying that Snyder went to the school of Matt Millen is a complete understatement. Fred Davis is the same type of player as Cooley and it's almost impossible for Moss, Thomas, Kelly, Randle El, Cooley and Davis ALL to have an impact. Their draft definately had me scratching my head the most.

Re: Draft Losers
I do and I dont.
I think washington is trying to build a young core on the offense. They have a solid OL, they have a young QB in Campbell. A very nice WR core of Thomas, Moss, Kelly and Randle-El along with a solid Hback in Cooley and TE in Davis. You have Portis running the ball with solid depth at RB.
While personally it wouldnt have been my strategy, I certainly dont think it was terrible. They could also be preparing to dump one of those big salaries.

Re: Draft Losers
Originally posted by theanswer74Atlanta was the #1 loser IMO. Passing on Glenn Dorsey for Matt Ryan was the biggest mistake in the draft IMO. Then they trade up for Sam Baker.
Detroit comes in 2nd.
However.
Atlanta has had nothing but turbulence the past 2 years, they need stability but more then that a franchise QB who will not only lead them on the field but be the face of the team. Ryan was that guy to a T.
They brought in a great GM in Dimitroff, and a solid HC in Smith. Ryan as THIER guy made great sense. They also dumped the malcontents and Vick's buddies.
Baker was a slight reach imo but made total sense. A solid addition who should pair nicely with Blalock from last year.
Curtis Lofton is a thumper, that kid can play LB. This years Demeco Ryans imo. Going to be a great defensive player for Atlanta.
All in all I think Atlanta is having exactly the type of draft they needed to have. A great one.

Re: Draft Losers
To me the biggest losers were yet again the Bungals.
Not only do they lose out on a DT (I sure hope they at least attempted to move down for Balmer), but in the 2nd with Jackson, Sweed and Kelly on the board they take Jerome Simpson.
They pass on Laws at DT and 3 solid DE's.
That entire FO needs to wash thier mouths out with buckshot. Like yesterday.

Re: Draft Losers
Saw this on a Lions forum prior to Day 1. Seriously was cracking up.
Threadt title: "I don't know who the Lions will draft tomorrow..."
But I hate the pick already. Seriously.
I also know their 2nd round pick will be a guy slated for the 4th round, a real 'football charactor' guy with no discernable physical skills.
Sunday will roll around and their 3rd rounders will be a dork for some small potatoes college no one ever heard of and a loser from a major school with bad eating habits.
In the 4th they will get a waiver wire name
In the 5th, a special team ace that would have been a undrafted FA
In the 6th and 7th rounds they will get around to filling their OL needs.

Re: Draft Losers
From that same forum
I hated the picks first of all we traded down 2 spots just to get some sub par tackle and then wasted our 2nd round pick on some 3 foot LB that will probably get cut after mini camp. Gee Matt Millen I wonder if I had you and Osama Bin Laden in one room who's ass I choose to kick first
