Which teams had the worst NFL draft, in your opinion?

I certainly think the Buffalo Bills, with their two awful reaches in the first round, have to be up there, along with the Chicago Bears, who used their first five picks on defense and failed to get any skill position people on the other side of the ball.

I totally agree about Buffalo lefty. I guess we're finding out what kind of an idea it was to let an 80 year old man run the draft....I'm not a big fan of what the Niners did. I thought they should have swapped their pick for more picks with all of their gaping holes.

Buffalo gets my vote. Whitner went about 10 picks too high and I had never seen McCargo in any mock drafts go in the first round and off the top of my head never saw him in the second round either. Youboty and Simpson in the 3rd and 4th round helped save their draft a bit since both were borderline first round picks at some point. Overall I don't think they are much closer to being a competitive team as they were before the draft.

So true, Dr. Cool, and its funny to note that both of those guys were higher than McCargo on most people's boards. If nothing else, they should have one heck of a secondary in a year or two. Whitner was an awful pick -- I mean, I like the player, but why not trade down with someone looking for Leinart? The kid would've been there later in the first round.

I'm not a big fan of what the Niners did.

I like the pick of Davis, Pundit, but jury's still out on Lawson for me. Like I heard one analyst say about picking a TE that high -- they got the best non-QB offensive player on the board at the time. And I can't emphasize enough how valuable it is for a young QB like Smith to have a big checkdown target in the middle of the field he can rely on. Davis could well be the Rookie of the Year this year; I can easily see 1,000+ yards and 8-10 TDs out of him.

Houston had a good draft but they were stupid to take Mario Williams with the 1st pick. They should have traded down and gotten some added picks if they really had their hearts set on Mr. Williams. I predicted that he won't be anything like Peppers.

[Lefty Noob]

Well, the only problem with Houston trading down would've been that they needed to stay in the top 5 to get Williams. Who in the top 5 would've or could've traded up to get Bush? I never could figure out any feasible trade scenario.

I can't imagine that the Jets would not have wanted a crack at Reggie. He would be a great replacement for Curtis Martin. Ferguson, while a good Tackle prospect, was not an all-world beater (Tony Boselli type) at Virginia (I saw plenty of their games). In truth, I think Justice is every bit as good as Ferguson. I think Justice had some "character" issues, but that's besides the point.

I would much rather have a game changing player like Bush than a good tackle like Ferguson. I'm not sure what they would of had to given up to get the number 1 spot but whatever. I personally think drafting a DE number 1 is not the best of moves.

My vote is for the Bears...I see them losing a lot of games 0 to 3...strong defense that gives up a field goal, but the offense never gets past mid field... ....Did they really need to pile uo the defense of players...was anyone keeping track of this in the War room...did it get to the 5th round and someone finally say..."hey, you know what...we forgot to get an offensive of player...ooops...lets get us one now before they are all gone."

[DrCool]

Yeah, I am suprised the Bears didn't go for someone on the offensive side of the ball sooner. There were a lot of good offensive players in the middle rounds that really could have helped them. Devin Hester might be a good returner or possibly a deep threat receiver but I don't see him having that much of an impact. Leonard Pope (TE from Georgia who went in the 3rd round) would probably have been a better pick for them at this spot.

That's all I am saying Doc...they need help...Defense wins championships, but the Offense's gotta help man...keep the D off the field for a while...
