Dolphins were among the worst but they did catch a break getting Beck in the second round, he was ranked by some ahead of Quinn.
I am not so sure the Patriots had the best draft weekend; they undoubtedly had one of the top two off seasons (Thomas, Welker, Washington, Moss, and Stallworth make for impressive additions.) but as far as actual Draft picks Meriweather at safety is the only name we are all going to hear on a weekly basis. The really important thing that the Patriots did is essentially defer their extra first round pick for a year, they just didn't need it.
Also I think it needs to be pointed out that the Patriots essentially got Moss by only trading their second first round pick this year for one next year, something they probably wanted to do anyway. (They got Moss for a 4th round pick that was part of the trade with San Francisco)

I wouldn't have put Quinn at number one, he isn't terribly accurate, but he has tons of potential and he certainly was not the 22nd best player in the draft.
As far as Smith being terrible that is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard, he most likely wont be a huge force in the NFL but he did have a great college career and if you recall he won a little Trophy because of it, bottom line is if he was a little taller he would have been up their with Russell and Quinn, Call it Flutie syndrome if you want.
