how does one make this claim? I mean it all sort of has to play out over a few years to have any idea who had the best draft, but based on this season alone I would say that is more than a stretch.
Just as an example, because i am familiar with them, the Packers had 6 of their 7 picks from the 2010 draft start games. Granted it was mainly due to injury, but they more than adequately filled in and in some cases will be starting this weekend in the NFC championship. Thats a good draft no matter how you look at it, but even i cant say its among the best in the league because i have no idea how other teams players did.
One other team I would add to that list is the Patriots...I think they too had 6 guys from the draft start games this year and contribute massively. McCourty, the two TE's, and Brandon Spikes all come to mind.
