Ken and Company's Top Draft Pick

In honor of the big night being just 36 hours away, I thought we could use this time to reflect on Ken and Company's Top Draft Pick since the staff took over in 2007.

There's been some questionable ones to say the least IE Alan Branch, Kenny Iwebema and the infamous Buster Davis.

But all in all Ken, Graves and Keim have done a decent job retooling this roster for hopefully another run at an NFC West Crown.

So who is the top draft pick in the Ken Whisenhunt Era?

My vote might honestly go D-Wash. Just a great job of working the job board and not listening to what I havr to say.

LSH was a pretty cool one too.

JohnnyV, check your PM.

I went with Acho, its a 4th round potential pro bowler. I think he will be a LB for us for 8 more years. just unreal how fast he picked up the playbook.

Breaston actually wasn't much of a pick in all honesty. As a college player, Haley had him pegged 100%, he was just a returner. What Breaston was was a great example of player development. I'll never forget reading the OTA reports from Urban and Somers about how great he looked. Rest is history.

Steve Keim mentioned LSH as his favorite draft pick. He said those are the picks that make him happy, the late round gems that nobody else hits on, not the Peterson's of the world who Keim said, and I quote, "my six-year old could tell you he could play.”

DRC. He really was truly a difference maker on defense in the Cards' Super Bowl run. I think we may only remember his last year here because it wasn't that terribly productive. But that second half of his rookie season and the playoffs he really established himself as a quality CB.

I said Calais. He was a projected top 5 pick but started to slip in the time leading up to the draft. The Cards saw value and potential, and took him in the bottom half of the second round. He is now one of the best 3-4 ends in the league and his ability to be a factor on special teams was hugely demonstrated last year. Special teams play and a stud on the defensive side? That sounds like the ultimately ideal player for Whisenhunt.

CC for me.

Should have been top 10 pick, got to us somehow, love the draft and how it plays out.

Dominant player, best DL last 2 years for me.

DW close second.

PP third if he continues playing like last year.

CC I think has been the biggest difference maker out of all of them, but a year from now it might be Skelton or Washington or PP

Right now CC but PP and Skelton have the ability to be bigger deals.
