Overall
Draft Grade:
C-
The
Bills just didn't make much sense. They had major
needs on the offensive and defensive lines, but took
Donte Whitner waay too early, passing on Brodrick
Bunkley and Haloti Ngata. McCargo was chosen a round
too early as well. While they got some quality players
to stregnthen their secondary, they may have reached
too much on many of their picks.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
None:
They took a few late round offensive lineman, but
don't plan on them changing the face of the Bills
offense in 2006.

Overall
Draft Grade:
B-
The
Allen pick was a little high in our estimation and
we are a little leary of Derek Hagan and all of his
drops. The Dolphins did come back strong in the second
day, picking up some help on the offenseive and defensive
line though. Rod Wright was great value in the 7th
round.
Fantasy
Impact:
Minimal:
Hagan may see some limited playing time in 2006, but
not enough to be drafted. His inconsistent hands may
keep him from being a legitamate fantasy threat.

Overall
Draft Grade:
B+
Maroney
and Jackson were both great value picks at the positions
they were selected at and should make an impact in
their rookies seasons. The Thomas pick made us scratch
our heads since the Pats already have a couple of
high round TEs on the roster. O'Callaghan was great
value in the 5th and could wind up taking Tom Ashworth's
spot in the lineup when it's all said and done.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Significant:Maroney
has a chance to make an impact his rookie season if
Corey Dillon continues to break down. Jackson will
also be thrown into the fire and get playing time,
but he WILL be a Pats receiver, so don't expect huge
numbers, especially in his rookies season.

Overall
Draft Grade:
A
The
Jets did a great job at addressing their needs and
getting impact players. Ferguson should be a fixture
at LT for years to come as well as Mangold at C.
They arguably got the two best lineman in the draft.
Many had Clemons rated very high, but we're just
a bit leary of Oregon QBs (Akili Smith, Joey Harrington).
Schlegal could have probably been take a round later,
but he is a great competitor and will rack up tackles.
Brad Smith will be an interesting project with many
possiblities. Washington will give them more depth
at the RB position as the Jets prepared for the
eventual departure of Curtis Martin.
2006
Fantasy Impact:
Minimal:
Both Ferguson and Mangold should help solidify the
O-line, but don't expect it immediately. Clemens shouldn't
see playing time this season unless disaster strikes
the Jets again. Brad Smith has some interesting potential,
but not good enough to draft in any league.
