2008 NFL Draft winners and losers

By Rick Morris

On last week's FANTASYDRAFTHELP.COM INSIDER program (Wednesdays, 7-9 PM EDT on SportsTalkNetwork.com), we examined the 2008 NFL Draft winners and losers as determined by our Senior Editor Jason Jones. Here's his lists again (and here's the draft listings for Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Round 4, Round 5, Round 6 and Round 7):

WINNERS
Kansas City
Pittsburgh
Baltimore

LOSERS
Tennessee
Chicago
Buffalo

Using the alphabet/grade approach, I'm going to offer my own list. I will speak on these during the FDH INSIDER tomorrow night.

A+: none
A: Pittsburgh
A-: Kansas City, New York Giants
B+: Buffalo, Green Bay, New Orleans, Atlanta, Arizona
B: Miami, New York Jets, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Dallas, Washington, Carolina
B-: New England, Indianapolis, Denver, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, St. Louis
C+: Minnesota, Detroit
C: Cleveland, Houston, San Diego, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco
C-: none
D+: Tennessee
D: Oakland
D-: none
F: none

Additionally, as promised on last week's INSIDER, I have the breakdown of how teams scored based purely on collecting players in Jason's Top 200 Overall from our FREE draft guide (you can still download it). The scoring works like this: 200 points awarded to the team taking the #1 player on Jason's list (Chris Long), 199 points for the #2 player and so on, all the way down to a single point for #200 on the list. Note that Kansas City scored particularly high because they accrued many picks and were able to use quite a few of them on players who were high on Jason's board.

1. Kansas City: 911
2. Arizona: 843
3. Chicago: 746 (those of you listening to the show last week heard Jason's shock when I read him this ranking -- I saved that information to tell him for the first time when we were on the air!)
4. Tampa Bay: 729
5. Philadelphia: 714
6. Baltimore: 694
7. New York Giants: 693
8. Indianapolis: 667
9. Seattle: 654
10. New Orleans: 651
11. Carolina: 647
12. St. Louis: 631
13. Green Bay: 607
14. Detroit: 595
15T. Denver: 592
15T. Atlanta: 592
17. Washington: 584
18. San Francisco: 550
19. New York Jets: 542
20. Pittsburgh: 514
21. Cincinnati: 492
22. Buffalo: 452
23. Dallas: 433
24. Jacksonville: 425
25. Houston: 404
26. Miami: 392
27. New England: 375
28. San Diego: 329
29. Tennessee: 253
30. Cleveland: 229
31. Oakland: 193
32. Minnesota: 89

As an FYI, here's Jason's Top 200 Overall from our draft guide, with the draft destination of each player. Those who were not drafted are marked with "XXXXX" (including those who subsequently signed with another team in free agency.
