There where a lot of things in the draft that went differently from what people expected. A lot of unexpected trades happened and I was wondering which pick you think is the best value based on position and team need.
Its hard to tell now with the later round picks, but in the Mid rounds I like Stovall for the Bucs, Justice for the Eagles, and Watkins for the Cowboys
I think one of the best values was the trade that Atlanta made to get John Abraham. There was no one better who could fill that position. They also managed to grad Jimmy Williams, whom they would have taken in round 1, and who fell to them at #37.

Gotta love Stovall in the 3rd round. But the Zemitis selection was a pure steal. The Bucs will soon need to replace an aging Ronde Barber, and Zemitis was perhaps the best DB in all of the draft.
Lorenzo Booker was a helluva steal for the Jets. This kid's stats dropped due to running behind a patchwork line at FSU all year. Prior to that, he was a beast. He may be the sleeper of the draft.
Of course, this entire topic is a crap shoot. The teams that must get immediate production out of their picks are the lousy teams in the NFL and need all the help they can get. The rest is just speculation, and most of the time, everyone expects way too much from these kids. This draft class certainly is not going to rank real high amongst the draft classes of all time.

Buck it, do you mean Leon Washington. Booker is a senior this year at FLA St and should be a good player, washington is a good player as well, but is a little shorter than booker (5'8 to booker's 6'0) He has some strength, but I don't know if he can handle the full load. He may, but only time will tell. I do think that booker will be a better pro than washington.
I was trying not to be a homer but, when you are at #14 and you are looking at 2 guys and you get one and then get ther other when you did (39) that is a LOT of value IMO.

I will say Leinart had to be a great value.
As was Abraham for ATL and Walker to Denver.
as long as traded playes can be said, c-pep for a second rounder was a great deal by the dolphins
