Looking at this draft though, I would say:

Best Draft: Have to concur and agree with the Blood Suckers. Portis is heads and shoulders above everyone else in the draft, he could have screwed up his next two picks and still be in the running for best draft. He didn't, got two good players for their position (in the draft), so he gets my nod.

Worst Draft: Thats so harsh. I'll nominate the six teams that passed up on Portis in the 1st, and throw in myself as well since I would have passed him up had I had the chance.

Hoping to get and did? I had my eye on Ramsey the whole time (not because he was tops on my list, but tops on my list of guys I thought had a chance to fall to me).

Hoping to get and didn't? Antwan Randel El, though he was going to get past the Devil Hounds. Ended up with Marquise Walker. Wash up to this point.

Biggest Sleeper? Come on, Ramsey, a first round QB in the end of the second round? A 3rd round QB went 2.7 in 2003, and I got a first rounder at 2.10 in '02. Now if he can just keep his starting job.

Biggest Reach? William Green at #1. I never like him. I bad mouthed him at FBGs message boards all summer, and I'm glad to see he never lived up to expectations.

Best Value: Portis at #1 would have been good value, at #7, he can't be rivaled.

Other Thoughts? I'm never trading a first round pick again (ok, never say never).

We didn't have a TE go until late 2nd round last year.

I don't 100% agree on Franks QB assessment, with the salary scale much much cheaper for QB's now I think they are much more attractive picks, and this draft has at least 3 solid QB's.
