Best or bust?
It's the tough question every team faces in the NFL Draft. The players you choose do not always fit your scheme best. Remember the quarterbacks the Cleveland Browns selected in the first round — Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, and most recently Brandon Weeden — have never been their franchise quarterbacks.
On the other hand, picks in later rounds can unexpectedly blossom into major contributors. See how the Seattle Seahawks have benefited from Richard Sherman (fifth round in 2011), Kam Chancellor (fifth in 2010) and Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith (seventh in 2011).
