Who are your picks?

Winner: New England
They filled needs with high talent players at SS in Chung and CB in Butler, and have a back-up NT in Brace who they also kept from the Dolphins. They also saved money by staying out of the 1st round and got a high potential player in Vollmer.
Other Choice: Detroit: The Lions got the franchise QB they've needed for years, a play maker TE, and a CB/S that can help repair their defensive backfield.

Loser: Dallas
Unlike Chicago who also didn't pick, the Cowboys didn't get a franchise QB for their picks, they got an underachieving WR with a bad attitude to replace their old one in TO.
Other Choice: Oakland- Bey was a reach but not as bad as Mitchell in the 2nd round. Al Davis' franchise should be taken away from him.
 
Winner:
If Cincy went with Monroe instead of Smith, I'd say they were the biggest winner, because Rey M. was a steal at that spot.

NYG are a close 2nd. Nicks/Sintim/Beatty is a draft I would've been thrilled with for Miami.

Ultimately, the Jags are the big winners for me. Getting their franchise LT at #8 was a steal and getting their RT in the 2nd round was another great value.

Loser:
The Raiders. Not even close. Major reaches at each pick, the worst being DHB at #7. Troy Williamson will look like a good pick compared to DHB IMO.
 
Lions, Giants, and Jags had great day 1 drafts.

Oakland without a doubt is the biggest LOSER; they're AWFUL!!!!!
 
Really like who the Pats and Giants picked up.
 
i hate the pats selections...derius butler is a flop...ron brace isnt vince wilfork...chung is the only decent pick in the bunch...their oline is slowly falling apart...i do not have the pats as day 1 winners...
 
The only thing I like about the Pats draft is that Wilfork might walk next year and come home to Miami.

My winners are the Ravens (Oher is a top 15 talent and Kruger is a good prospect) and the Bengals (Smith and Rey are tough). Cincy has also pulled some steals today with Michael Johnson, Chase Coffman and Luigs.

The Raiders will never have a sane draft again until Al Davis is dead
