    [Other than the Texans.]


    I'd probably go with the Steelers, filled a ton of holes with a lot of high quality players and the Decastro pick was icing on the cake.

    [Poll coming soon.]

    I liked the bengals, they drafted very well.

    the pats drafted great 1st round picks too.

    i thought the rams drafted nicely with the mustache in charge. It was also fun listening to steelers radio and hearing them use the texans game as a reference point as to why they had to bolster up that line. They did just that.

    The Texans. no homerism here. they now have had three excellent drafts in recent years..2009,2011,2012. they got value.

    Patriots too. they saw what they liked and went after it.

    Are draft grades up anywhere?

    That punter in the 3rd will be a difference maker.

    I'd like to see a "grade the draft" series that focuses on 3+ years later.

    Part of me says Colts... great pick ups for O... but their D is still going to suffer. It was set up to be a prevent D for when Manning puts 30-40 on the board. Can luck/fleener do the same? Not so sure.

    If I'm the Colts, I'd rather have the D suffer, and have my big-time investment in Luck succeed.

    Not a bad plan. They know they aren't superbowl contenders, so the best thing for them is for the offense to flourish around Andrew Luck. Luck puts up the big numbers (appeasing the fanbase/media) and the Colts most likely get a high draft pick for a defensive guy next season.

    Defense is no longer necessary. Both the giants and pats had a bad d.

    Cardinals had a pretty solid draft.

    Steelers also.

    I know the Pats sucked on defense last year ... but the Giants were and still are very good on defense, IMO.

    They were pretty mediocre last year. Bottom 3rd of the league in most categories. But they did what every Superbowl winning defense does lately it seems, sack the QB and cause turnovers.

    Indy landed the most promising QB prospect since Peyton and the two best TEs in the draft.

    Not sure how the answer can be any team but Indy, unless you think Luck isn't all that he's cracked up to be.

    I'm still confused as to why Washington grabbed another QB....
