The losers? The 31 teams that didn't draft Javarris James. The winner? The Colts for realizing their mistake and signing him.

No in a serious note, I love the Cowboys being able to get Dez Bryant. He and Miles Austin will be a great duo for years to come.

I think Detroit is an obvious winner for helping themselves out with impact players on both sides of the ball. Su and Best should help them alot especially if they use Best on special teams returns

Chargers are losers for reaching so much to get Matthews at 12, they gave up way too much to change from 28 to 12 but atleast theyre not as dumb as the Jags :lol:

If you count trades into this, I'd say Seattle. But, I really like them getting Leon Washington.

Baltimore (getting Boldin) did well too, considering they had no 1st rounder, and I like what my Cowboys ended up with.

I love the Ravens draft! Getting younger on Defense, and adding Boldin to the offense is huge! They will contend this season. Losers are my Rams! Bradford is a gimmick QB much like David Klingler. He ran a college offense, and has bust written all over him. If Michael Smith's report about Holmgren offering all of this years draft, and some of next years for Bradfor is true and the Rams turned that down, that was the stupidest thing in sports history! They didn't help themselves in the rest of the draft either.

Lions did great in the draft but blew it before the draft by trading ernie :twisted:

I liked Seattle's picks. I have no doubt in my mind of Carroll's eye for great college players. But, not every great college player translates to NFL talent. On paper, he did an amazing draft. We will see how it pans out for my Hawks!

Love Love Love my Niners draft. I hope Mays carries that chip on his shoulder for a while. He might be the steal of the Draft. If Clausen doesn't come in and have a Matt Ryan type rookie year, which I think he will.

Bills did a heck of a job not getting a QB or good O-line. I don't get the small school DE picks either. I think CJ will be a good value, but they should have drafted some players to go with him and revamp the offense.

Lions definitely win... but I think the Denver-hating is a little bit much. The Tebow gaffe is obviously huge but beyond that their draft doesnt seem half bad to me... and I hate Georgia Tech (Demaryius) and, of course, Florida...

If you'd shown me their draft results and told me they didnt make any trades i'd say they did fine.

For a team that didn't have a first round selection, the Ravens were money yet again.

I like the Lions draft.

The Broncos continue to dig their hole and I feel aweful for their fans.

Raiders did well. (I can't believe I just typed that.)

Crazy but agreed. When they took McClain it was like... Ummm... Uhhhhh.... Wait a minute. Did the Raiders just make a good pick?

Nothing flashy but kind of liked the Steelers draft. Pouncey was a great pick. Getting Dwyer late was cool. I know nothing about Emmanuel Sanders but kind of wish they would have taken Shipley, I think he would have been a decent fit there.

Ravens had the best draft IMO....I mean they picked up a solid OLB Rush End in Sergio Kindle, and a run clogger in Cody, plus a solid TE in Dickson

My Bears had the worst draft- although they grabbed a Safety in Major Wright they badly needed they also drafted a QB....now this is what pisses me off...They traded a #1 last year and a #1 this year for Cutler...they have so many other needs and so few picks this year, but for some reason Angelo thought it would be a great idea to draft another fracking QB...Lefevour may be a nice QB, but come on and draft players to fill needs you idiot!!

This draft didn't surprise me at all. The Bills front office is run by a bunch of Shitbirds and a Owner who is too cheap to pay anything. Chalk up another 6-10 Season. What a joke.

Jags picks made me punch the wall.

Chargers weren't terrible, although I don't believe moving up that much for Mathews was necessary.

Browns draft was solid. Thought Hayden went slightly higher than necessary and TJ Ward in the second was iffy. I personally love the Colt McCoy pick in the 3rd round, because in years past, the Browns usually release whoever they take then (i.e. Travis Wilson).

I do love what Tampa, Denver (minus Tebow), Oakland, Detroit, Baltimore and Tennessee did in the draft.

And, I love the Rams draft, minus the Bradford pick. To get Gilyard in the 4th and Selvie in the 7th is absolutely stunning. :shock:

All I have to say is.....

I HATE PETE CARROLL!!!

Bringing in a bunch of USC guys to the team I hate the most....I work with a bunch of Seachicken fans since I live up here in WA....most of which are idiots (ex. they think Hasselbeck is a GREAT QB ::facepalm:: )

LEAVE USC ALONE!!! They draft one and sign undrafted free agents Josh Pinkard (CB), Jeff Byers (OG), and Will Harris (FS)...sign Mike Williams and trade for LenDale White....I'm just glad Taylor Mays went to the 49ers and is going to make Pete Carroll regret asking him to come back for his Senior year instead of leaving and possibly being drafted in the 1st half of the 09 Draft making it a total of 9 USC defensive starters to leave....changing the defensive scheme taking his defensive play making abilities away and having him disguise the weakness of the other 10 players on the field....and eventually fecking him out of MILLIONS!!!

But with all of that said...I do have to admit...they did make some smart moves....the LenDale and Leon Washington moves were impressive. Solid 2010 Draft for the Seachickens.

I'll have to take a closer look now that everything's settled, but off the top of my head I thought Seattle had an amazing few days. Also I honestly think Detroit got the #1 player by far in the draft.....so that's always a good thing.

Like you said Jax would seem to be an easy pick for a loser. I'll throw another one out there - the Giants could potentially be losers. Pierre-Paul seems to be boom or bust, if he turns out to be all hype, I don't see a lot of impact players amongst their other picks and it could go down as a very bad draft.
