Here's a look at the teams that I thought did the best and worst jobs in the Draft last weekend. But like I mentioned in my other column, since no one is going to remember what I said three years from now I'm grading teams on the skill in which they maneuvered and by the picks that will have the most immediate impact on the 2006 season.

THE WINNERS

Arizona Cardinals - For the second year in a row, the Cardinals had an outstanding draft. Of course last year their "outstanding rookies" played like, well, like Cardinals. But I love the way they play it cool on draft day and let skilled players fall in their lap. Anyone who thinks that Matt Leinart will be starting this year is smoking peyote. But after a season or two as an understudy he should step in and have a Carson Palmer-type impact in that offense. Most importantly, Arizona upgraded along the offensive line. Leonard Pope was an absolute steal in Round 3, and could take that offense to the next level.

Philadelphia Eagles - Mark my words here in April: DO NOT sleep on the Eagles. Everyone's nipples are hard about Dallas, New York and Washington. I say the Eagles are the second-best team in the division. They were torn between two players in the first round - and ended up getting both. Broderick Bunkley is a freak, and Winston Justice is a brick house. Toss in a bold trade to grab the top guard (Jean-Gilles) and a calculated gamble on one of the most exciting prospects (Jeremy Bloom) and I feel Philly fared very well.

New York Giants - Ernie Acorsi has been on a roll. He nabbed Lavar Arrington, and then backed that up with a strong draft. The Mathias Kiwanuka pick was a head-scratcher, but I guess Strahan isn't getting any younger. What I loved was the deft move - using a pick from the Pitt deal in Round 1 - to grab Sinorice Moss. He's a game-breaker. Whether or not the other guys will pan out remains to be seen, but New York was one of the few teams that knew exactly where its weaknesses were (offensive, defensive interior lines) and selected accordingly.

Baltimore Ravens - I thought it was goofy for Baltimore to trade up one spot in the first round to get Haloti Ngata, who Cleveland wouldn't have taken. Regardless, they still secured the No. 1 player on their Wish List. The Ravens addressed another need in Round 2 (Chris Chester) and they scored a wideout with excellent upside (Demetrius Williams) in Round 4. Some would say the Ravens were mediocre, but I say they're one of the few teams that will get an immediate return from of its rookies.

Detroit Lions - Baby steps for the kittens, which very quietly had a good weekend. Ernie Sims could be outstanding playing on the turf (until he gets his 83rd concussion). I loved the Brian Calhoun pick. Let's see if that motivates Kevin Jones. Detroit also scored a hitter for its secondary (Daniel Bullocks) and a strong offensive lineman (Jon Scott). I know everyone wanted them to grab Leinart. But seeing as they haven't drafted a defensive player with its top pick in this century - and they've sucked that entire time - it might be time for a change in philosophy.

THE LOSERS

Chicago Bears - Ill. Physically ill is the best way to characterize my response to my team's draft. I've received e-mail's from Doc's readers asking me to talk them down from the ledge. To which I say: I can't. Jump.

Over the past three years I've watched one of the worst offenses in NFL history. Chicago was in a position to grab BOTH Sinorice Moss and Leonard Pope on the cheap and what did they do? They reached for two marginal NFL prospects that are both projects - neither of which started on a D-I team last year. The rest of their picks were on defense, including one guy who once got wasted in college and pounded one of his friends into the hospital. Maybe Dusty Dvoracek can room with Ricky Manning on the road and they can cruise townie bars and greasy spoon diners prowling for hobos to beat into comas. Good times. The Bears had by far and away the worst draft of any team in the league.

Denver Broncos - Very active and very risky. I'm not talking about the hookers that propositioned me on my birthday in Buckhead last weekend. Or Jake Plummer. I'm talking about Denver's draft.

Over the last two weeks alone the Broncos made three trades involving their first-round pick. When the dust settled they ended up with Javon Walker and a bunch of other high-risk, high-reward guys. They must know something about Tony Scheffler that the rest of America doesn't. Elvis Dumerville is shaky at best. And the Jay Cutler Thing could have been a coup, or it could be Elway-Maddox Part Deux. Time will tell. But this draft is moot if Walker turns out to be the Missing Link on a Super Bowl team.

Buffalo Bills - Seriously, since Buffalo is nearly a third-world country right now I feel bad crushing the one dream that they have. But when all is said and done, they reached for both Donte Whitner and John McCargo and will pay them much more than their production warrants. They semi-recovered after that (Youboty was a steal) but this team is still a disaster.

Cincinnati Bengals - I was uninspired by the Bengals. Johnathan Joseph will be a good corner, but where was the huge need? Their secondary led the world in interceptions last year (31) and I think they need to toughen up in the front seven before they can be a contender. They could have scored one of the top tight ends to make their offense lethal, but instead went after some second-tier defensive lineman. There just weren't any impact picks from Cincy. But hey, they are the Bengals.

Houston Texans - I actually really like what the Texans were able to accomplish. Mario gives them the pass rusher that their defense hasn't had. DeMeco Ryans will wreak havoc in the 3-4. And they addressed their awful offensive line with the No. 65 and No. 66 picks. But they make the Loser List because they passed on Reggie Bush and Vince Young, two guys with the Hall of Fame talent that David Carr and Domanick Davis lack.
