Well, I personally think that our beloved Dolphins are probably the team worst off in the draft in terms of number and quality of our selections. We own a mid-round first rounder, which I would preferably see traded for a late mid or late first and a mid-second rounder. Many people have tried to make the early Christmas present argument about Manny Wright, Culpepper, and Lemon, but honestly this is how I see it.
Wright is overrated, weak, and slow. Look at his combine numbers, they speak for themselves, and he gets one sack (Against the BILLS might I add) and suddenly he is anointed our next nose tackle by many. I feel that Wright will be mediocre in the end, but not a great. Lemon, on the other hand, is a joke. The coaching staff must have seen SOMETHING better than Feeley in him, but I could see more positives in having a blind man come in at QB than feeley.
So we only gave up a 5th and 6th for them, right?
Think about the leverage the loss of those two picks would have for us in dealing for Harrington. That could make the difference in the end, although I feel he isn't worth more than a 6th and 7th rounder together.
An argument could also be made that the Falcons and Redskins are worse off in the draft, but I am not too aware of their draft pick situation after the 1st round, which they both lack a pick in. I think the Skins are probably worse off than the Falcons since they traded a 3rd rounder for Lloyd w/the 49'ers
As for the teams in the best position, the first team that comes to mind is the damned Jets.
Why?
First off, they have the fourth overall selection in the draft, and have five picks in the first three rounds of the draft. That is HUGE leverage if they want to move up, or just to fill their many holes. I also feel that the Pats as well are in a pretty good situation, especially considering Bellicheck and Pioli's tendancy to find gems that they can plug in the late rounds.
just a few thoughts....
