The Best and Worst Picks of the 2010 NFL Draft

The 2010 NFL Draft has come to an end. 3 days of picks, speculation and analysis. From where I sit here are some of the best and worst picks of the draft.

Best: Eric Berry, Kansas City. The Chiefs need players at just about every position. In Berry they get a defensive playmaker along the lines of Ed Reed, and he should make an immediate impact.

Rolando McClain, Oakland. The Raiders had a number of excellent picks, and McClain will fill the middle nicely for years to come. If you need help stopping the run, a middle linebacker who can make tackles all over the field is what you need.

Brandon Graham, Philadelphia. The Eagles get a pass rusher who does not stop. He brings an energy to the field and he brings it on every play.

Jermaine Gresham, Cincinnati. The Bengals need weapons on offense. The acquired Antonio Bryant in the offseason to play opposite Chad Ochocinco, and now Gresham give Carson Palmer a target over the middle that will be a matchup nightmare for defenses.

Dez Bryant, Dallas. With Miles Austin and Jason Witten, the Cowboys have plenty of options when throwing the ball. Bryant makes the offense even more explosive.

Rodger Saffold, St. Louis. Sam Bradford needs someone to block for him, and with Jason Smith on the left side Saffold will make a bookend on the right for years to come. I can see Saffold being a more valuable pick to the Rams than Bradford.

Arrelious Benn, Tampa Bay. Josh Freeman needs weapons on offense, and Benn provides him with a valuable target.

Sergio Kindle, Baltimore. If Kindle stays healthy, and the words 'Microfracture Surgery' never sounds good, he will be a terror on the Ravens defense for years.

Lamarr Houston, Oakland. If Houston can plug up the middle, think about how much easier it will be for McClain to make plays behind him.

Jimmy Clausen, Carolina. Josh McDaniels and the Denver Broncos will regret not drafting Clausen for a long time. Carolina got the steal of the draft.

Carlos Dunlap, Cincinnati. If he plays up to his potential, and if Antwan Odom returns to his pre-Achilles injury form, the Bengals are going to have a pass rush that could be the envy of the league.

Vladimir Ducasse, New York Jets. The Jets decided to release Alan Fanacea after drafting Ducasse. It says a lot about his potential.

Charles Brown, New Orleans. Having an offensive tackle of his talent fall to the end of the second round must make the Saints feel like Mardi Gras is still being celebrated.

Jared Veldheer and Bruce Campbell, Oakland. The Raiders drafted two mountain of offensive tackles, but both are projects. But Tom Cable is an offensive line coach, and I can see him bringing out the full potential of both players.

Mardy Gilyard, St. Louis. Sam Bradford got someone to block for him in Rodger Saffold, and in Gilyard he got a target he should connect with many times in the years to come.

Everson Griffen, Minnesota. A first round talent that fell all the way to the fourth round. The Vikings have an explosive pass rush and now they have another to add to the mix.

Myron Rolle, Tennessee. If you are looking for a physical, athletic safety, and by far the most intelligent player in the draft, Rolle is a steal at the end of the sixth round. Some teams questioned his commitment. If he is going to play football now and hold off on medical school until later that speaks volumes about his commitment.

Worst Picks: Tyson Alualu, Jacksonville. It is a bad pick not because or the player. Alualu is talented and should make an impact for the Jaguars. But they could very easily have traded down, accumulated more picks and still got Alualu. With a draft this deep Jacksonville missed a golden opportunity.

Demaryius Thomas and Tim Tebow, Denver. The Broncos picked Thomas because he reminded them of Brandon Marshall. Then why did you trade Marshall and draft some defensive help. Tebow is a project. Plain and simple. The best scenario I can see for Tebow to get on the field this year is if the Broncos are having a lousy season. If that is the case how much longer will Josh McDaniels be the coach?

Dexter McCluster, Kansas City. Again, it's not the player. It's who drafted him and where. He can make plays, but the Chiefs have to get him the ball first. Kansas City has plenty of holes to fill, and the offensive line would have been a good place to start with this pick.

Torrell Troup, Buffalo. The Bills needed a nose tackle, and this is a reach pick for need. Also, Terrence Cody was still available. Bringing the mountain to Buffalo would have made sense.

Zane Beadles, Denver. The Broncos didn't address any needs on defense early in the draft. Beadles is seen as a bit of a reach at this spot as well.

Armanti Edwards, Carolina. A wildcard pick with a wildcat player. He can make plays when he has the ball, but to do so takes the ball out of the hands of Matt Moore, Jimmy Clausen, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathon Stewart, and Steve Smith. Finding defensive help may have been the better call with this pick and see if they could get Edwards later.

All in all, there were many more good picks than not. I'll be analyzing every team and grading them out in the days ahead. The 2010 NFL Draft is complete. Let's get ready for rookie camp, OTA's, player signing and Trainnig Camp. The NFL. All day, every day, all year long.
