Outside of the division, I'd say the Browns, Redskins, Cowboys, Vikings, Ravens, Packers, Colts, Bucs, and Saints had some nice drafts.

Here's some thoughts on our competition, and I think they all had pretty good drafts:

Denver Broncos
1(20) - Garett Bolles, OT, Utah
2(51) - DeMarcus Walker, DE, Florida State
3(82) - Carlos Henderson, WR, Louisiana Tech
3(101) - Brendan Langley, CB, Lamar
5(145) - Jake Butt, TE, Michigan
5(172) - Isaiah McKenzie, WR, Georgia
6(203) - DeAngelo Hendersen, RB, Coastal Carolina
7(253) - Chad Kelly, QB, Mississippi

Hard to argue with this draft for Denver. Bolles could be an impact LT in this league. He's a bit old coming in, but he's athletic and nasty and has the skill set.
I really like Walker, unfortunately. He seems to just make plays. They needed someone ever since losing Malik Jackson, and this guy could be really solid getting to the QB and stuffing the run. Henderson is a player that could end up being a really nice slot for them. Langley, don't sleep on that kid. He's gotta learn to play to NFL speed, but he's got some talent. Butt might end up being a quality #2-type of TE down the road, but he's got that recovery. McKenzie, meh... Don't like that pick for them. Hendersen is a sleeper at RB, but I have my doubts about his NFL speed and strength. Kelly, we all know his story, but the talent is definitely there.

Broncos had a really solid draft, all things considered.

Los Angeles Chargers
1(7) - Mike Williams, WR, Clemson
2(38) - Forrest Lamp, OT/G, Western Kentucky
3(71) - Dan Feeney, OG, Indiana
4(113) - Rayshawn Jenkins, SS, Miami
5(151) - Desmond King, CB/FS, Iowa
6(190) - Sam Tevi, OT, Utah
7(225) - Isaac Rochell, DT, Notre Dame

The Chargers draft was damn near A+ material for them and what they needed. Williams gives them a guy opposite Allen that could be a stud. Lamp and Feeney, that's scary. I saw those two as 1a and 1b in terms of OG prospects in this draft. Lamp could play RT if the Chargers want him to fit there. Either way, they got two high-quality offensive lineman. Jenkins, he can hit. If he can settle down in coverage a bit, he could be a player. King, he's just a damn good ball player and I think he'll start at FS for them. Tevi fits as a developmental RT. Rochell is meh, but its the 7th round.


Oakland Raiders
1(24) - Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
2(56) - Obi Melifonwu, SS, UConn
3(88) - Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA
4(129) - David Sharpe, OT/G, Florida
5(168) - Marquel Lee, ILB, Wake Forest
7(221) - Shalom Luani, SS, Washington State
7(231) - Jylan Ware, OT, Alabama State
7(242) - Elijah Hood, RB, North Carolina
7(244) - Trevyon Hester, DT, Toledo

Reggie McKenzie is a damn good GM. If Conley comes out clean, they got a steal. He's a #1 type of CB. Melifonwu, where they got him, another steal. He's going to push Nelson and gives them a good looking pair of safeties for the future with Joseph. If Vanderdoes gets back to 2015 form, he's a disruptive force on the interior. Sharpe, he reminds me of their LG, Osemele. I thought Baltimore would jump for this kid. I'd imagine he's going to compete for the RT position. I was really high on Lee through the process, I think he's a really good looking strong side type or ILB. I don't care for the 7th rounders with the exception of Hester, he's a sleeper. He's athletic and he's pretty good.
