I'll go with Oakland but honestly i'm not real impressed with any of them.

Northman · 04-30-2006, 05:40 PM

Denver, with that said Oakland would be next just with Bing and Huff.

ludo21 · 04-30-2006, 05:42 PM

Faiders.

Huff is an all pro, and Bing was a great value pick in the 4th.

Im pissed the Chefs, and Bolts got 2 good ones in the first as well tho.

Agreed, I'd rank Oakland just ahead of KC. San Diego we won't know about until Cro plays.

Gcver2ver3 · 04-30-2006, 05:43 PM

oakland for sure....but only because the other team's draft sucked

huff is a stud....but they may regret passing up cutler/leinhart

I agree. Oakland brought good talent to their woeful defensive unit. Howard is raw, but he's an athlete their linebacking corps desperately needed.

TheDave · 04-30-2006, 05:48 PM

Just as a side note: I'm real glad that the Chefs got Hali. Yes he could be good but of all the top D-Line prospects I thought his game was the least likely to transfer to the NFL... I could be wrong, but hopefully not.

youcandoit1687 · 04-30-2006, 05:49 PM

we EASILY had the best draft just because of walker and cutler. go deeper and we are head and shoulders above the division

SoCalBronco · 04-30-2006, 06:12 PM

I dont know who did the best but I think all three were solid drafts.

Kansas City- Hali was a solid addition. He will help them alot on the power end side. Pollard is a good player but it was a reach and he is a headcase. Croyle was a very nice addition for them. He can play in the NFL, just needs to avoid injuries. Maxey was a very good addition as well. He really came on for us this past year and beat out Hester for the starting job. He has excellent speed and is improving. He should make that roster and probably contribute. Jeff Webb of San Diego State is a steal in the 6th for Kansas City, only thing to worry about is character concerns there. Page they could have gotten in FA. Overall, KC had a very nice draft.

Oakland did very well in my opinion. Huff will ball for them and they stole Bing in the 4th. I read Al is going to make him a LB. He will excel. He will be a tremendous OLB for Oakland. Excellent selection. Howard is very speedy, they gotta move back to a 4-3 full time and put him at WLB. He's still raw, but I think those two as OLBs will be very good for Oakland. Outside of Booth, didnt think any of their linemen were special though.

San Diego got a Top 10 talent in Cromartie. Cromartie is an excellent corner, even better than DeAngelo Hall for a young corner. He will give us many problems. That was superb. I thought they made a mistake in taking McNeill over Winston. McNeill doesnt have the athleticism to be a LT, which is what they really need. He is gonna be a good RT, although not immediately, but I thought Winston would be much better for them there, as well as Scott. I didnt understand Whitehurst at all. I know you will need a backup for Philip but not with a 3rd rounder. Dobbins will help fill an upcoming void at 34 ILB, I didnt care for the rest of their second day although Clary performed well at the combine.

Dudeskey · 04-30-2006, 06:13 PM

yeah jokeland did have a pretty good draft

Bob's your Information Minister · 04-30-2006, 06:14 PM

Tamba Hali had better measurables than Jared Allen for those of you doubting our Liberian Import.

He is the one I am most excited about. I don't know why he fell that far.

Walker wasnt drafted. I know its picky, but there is some distinction to be made between trading for and having to pay high end talent like javon and to being able to identify and draft college talent

Whitehurst was a horrid pick for SD. They have Rivers. Why get another QB prospect? They should have added a veteran in FA.

FantomForce · 04-30-2006, 06:28 PM

KC did by far

That's not saying much, but even then that would still be a Raider in the NFL sack leader last year Derrick Burgess

Nice try though. BTW, Allen's Jock is still in New York City.

I like Tamba hali and wanted him to go to Denver. George Foster gave up less sacks than Lepsis last year Bob and Hali needs another 15 LBS to play LDE. I wanted Hali to Play RDE where you already have Allen.

I don't think Hali needs to be 290 to play LDE.
