Larz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 lol at the chowds http://espn.go.com/b...d-from-afc-east '07 draft class nearly purged from AFC East By Tim GrahamAfter they dumped quarterback Trent Edwards and traded running back Marshawn Lynch in consecutive weeks, a lone member of the Buffalo Bills' 2007 draft class remained on the roster. Just three years later, one keeper is a lousy return. But consider how the rest of AFC East drafted in 2007. Only six of 30 AFC East draftees from 2007 still are with the team that drafted them: two New York Jets, two Miami Dolphins, one New England Patriot and one Bill. (See chart below.) [+] Enlarge The Jets were most effective. They drafted just four players. Their first two have been stars, and the last pick helped them acquire a standout receiver. They traded up to select star cornerback Darrelle Revis 14th overall and top inside linebacker David Harris 47th. Seventh-round pick Chansi Stuckey was sent to the Cleveland Browns in the trade that landed receiver Braylon Edwards. The Patriots were the least efficient on nine picks, but they had only two selections inside the first four rounds. Their lone keeper was Pro Bowl safety Brandon Meriweather in the first round. The Dolphins made 10 selections in what was the final draft class for general manager Randy Mueller and the only one for rookie head coach Cam Cameron. They famously misfired on ninth overall pick Ted Ginn, who was traded for a fifth-round pick this offseason, and second-round quarterback John Beck. Still around are defensive tackle Paul Soliai and punter Brandon Fields. The last man standing from Buffalo's seven-man 2007 draft class is second-round linebacker Paul Posluszny. So that's a 20 percent retention rate for the AFC East on all draftees and a 40 percent rate for those selected in the top three rounds. With help from ESPN researcher Keith Hawkins and the Elias Sports Bureau, I wanted to find out how those percentages compared leaguewide. Poorly, it turns out. Of the 225 players chosen in other divisions that year, 100 have remained with the teams that drafted them. That's 44.4 percent overall, more than twice the AFC East rate. When narrowing the field to players taken within the first three rounds, 89 prospects were absorbed into other divisions, and 54 have stuck, a success rate of 60.7 percent. A few notes turned up by the research: The Dolphins are the only team that has gotten rid of their top four picks. Twenty-six teams have parted ways with at least one of their picks from the first three rounds. Of the 19 teams that had at least one pick in each of the first three rounds, only the Pittsburgh Steelers retained all of them (Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, Matt Spaeth). there is an interesting chart at the end of the article. chowds draft is an epic fail lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Yea that was a pretty dry draft....some memories: I remember some dude on TGG insisted that trading up for Revis was a bad idea because of how bad the OL would go on to perform. I think Ben Grubbs was the guy he hindsight wanted. One story I heard was that the Jets would have drafted Woodley too, but since the Steelers lost the Revis sweepstakes they had the ammo to trade up for him. They picked him one pick before the Jets took his beast ILB teammate instead. The Jets also have the Cowboy's 6th rounder that year kicking for them.

Colts without Manning...Giants without Eli...Packers without Rodgers...Chargers without Rivers...pretty sure erasing a franchise QB would do that to any team.

SenorGato Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 So you think that the rest of the Pats team is as good as the rest of those teams? I disagree. Their D is better than the other 2 AFC teams listed...and minus Rodgers or Eli those offenses are just as garbage as the Pats' would be...also, the only thing that separates the Packers D is Matthews' pass rush, and I'd take Wilfork over Matthews as a building block. Also...he was taken away for a full season and they were still the best team in the division (score more points than the Dolphins and allowed less points).
