3. Atlanta. The Vick pick is still being debated, and I don't think he's going to go down as an all-time great, but the fact is, he's an electric presence every time he plays and helped change the culture from mediocre to threatening in Atlanta. In Round 2, Alge Crumpler has turned into a top-three NFL tight end and has started all but 13 of his Falcons games in five years. Seventh-round pick Kynan Forney has started 68 games and is a fixture at right guard. Two other decent players from Round 4 -- offensive lineman Roberto Garza and linebacker Matt Stewart -- started for the Falcons before leaving as free agents. Not a bad haul.

4. Baltimore. Picking last because of its Super Bowl win only adds to the shine of this draft. It's a shame the cap-ravaged Ravens couldn't have kept these guys when they got good. The top four picks -- Todd Heap, Gary Baxter, Casey Rabach and Ed Hartwell -- are all average or better NFL starters. And when you get four of those out of one draft, you've drafted very well.

5. San Diego. I struggle giving a "B'' for a two-person draft, but what put me over is the impact of the two. LaDainian Tomlinson is on his way to being one of the best 10 backs ever. And for the last two years Drew Brees has been one of football's top-five quarterbacks. Getting him with the 32nd pick was a steal. Brees' injury and his departure doesn't diminish the impact he had in the last two years in San Diego. I also give late GM John Butler credit for hooking tackle Brandon Gorin in Round 7. He's an average player, but he has started 18 games for the Patriots in recent seasons.

6. Arizona. Picking second, it's pretty hard to screw up. Leonard Davis has been a good piece of the puzzle, though not the dominant player everyone predicted he'd be, in his 75 starts in the desert. Fitting that the Cards gave up on maybe the best player in this crop, defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch, who they let walk (to Tennessee) after two knee injuries. Vanden Bosch turned into one of the league's best pass-rushers last year and signed a lucrative deal with the Titans to stay. Third-round Adrian Wilson has turned into a strong up-the-middle presence at strong safety in his 61 starts, and second-day picks Marcus Bell and Renaldo Hill have had decent backup careers elsewhere.

7. Indianapolis. Picking 30th after dealing down eight spots with the Giants, the Colts got Reggie Wayne, who has proved durable, consistent and slightly explosive, making 304 catches in five years. Idrees Bashir was an OK starter, but no one cried when he left as a free agent before the 2005 season. Two second-day guys made Bill Polian's draft a good one -- offensive linemen Ryan Diem (fourth round) and Rick DeMulling (seventh). Both turned into above-average NFL starters on the line.

8. Buffalo. Surprise, surprise. All you western New Yorkers who kicked Tom Donahoe on his way out the door should remember the weekend of April 21-22, 2001: Nate Clements (80 games, 80 starts at corner), Aaron Schobel (75 starts as a DE), Travis Henry (3,749 rushing yards with the Bills) and Jonas Jennings (52 starts at tackle before leaving as a free agent for the Niners). Not bad.

9. Tampa Bay. One pick in the top 80 and the Bucs still came out with six usable players. Tackle Kenyatta Walker was the one, in a trade-up, but what followed was good enough to help the Bucs win the Super Bowl the next season. Safety Dwight Smith, who returned two picks for TDs in the Super Bowl win over Oakland, came in Round 3, back DB John Howell in Round 4 and fullback Jameel Cook and serviceable defensive end Ellis Wyms in Round 6. And fifth-rounder Russ Hochstein has become a decent fill-in guard for the Patriots.
