Give your team a grade..

[mcnabb7542]

Okay so the the experts have there grades listed from the 2014 draft, of course none of them agree with each other so as fans that actually know what our teams have and needed to address, grade out your team and tell us what pick has you the most upbeat?

 

[Ritzarmy]

Redskins grade I would say is a C+. Some good picks like Moses and Murphy but some guys they took seemed like reaches where better talent was still on board. Then taking a so so kicker in 7th when we needed a punter made me scratch my head even more.

Steelers grade I would say is a B-. It was a frustrating draft for some fans, but the more I think about it the happier I am. Shazier & Tuitt should add much needed production on the defensive side, not to mention flat out speed from Shazier. Dri Archer should see about 5 touches per game, and should be used heavily as a return specialist. Martavis Bryant was a gift in the 4th round, so Roethlisberger will finally get his tall WR he always wanted. They didn't make any serious upgrades to the CB corps other than drafting another project/depth type player which is their only knock in my book. Also drafted a depth type O-lineman in Wesley Johnson. Should be a good project for Munchak. They landed godzilla (Daniel McCullers DT 6'7" 352 lbs) at the end of the 6th round which was a great value pick. And finally they took Blanchflower in the 7th to give depth and hopefully a future to the TE position.

I'm very pleased. I wish they would have taken a CB in the 3rd instead of Dri Archer, but as long as they find good use for him then I will be happy.

I'll give them a grade when I actually see these guys perform in NFL competition.

The most useless diatribe in NFL commentary is the day-after-the-draft draft grade,

What was the grade they gave that Seattle draft again? You know the one from a couple years ago.....

"I" for all teams because these players havent done shit yet. Incomplete

I believe that was an F.....

Sometimes the "reaches" can drive fans up the wall, but as Rob brought above the Seahawks got an F couple years ago and well the rest of that is history now.

Gotta give the Cowboys a D-. They got a good player in the 1st round and then got nothing after that. They drafted total trash in the middle and late rounds. They blew an opportunity as they could have drafted a punter that would have actually helped the team more than the scrubs they took.. I would love log on to the internet someday and see that Jerrah Jones has died. There was way too much value on the board to trade away a 3rd round pick. You absolutely dont do that in a draft this deep.

I don't mind giving a grade. They are worth nothing just something fun to do while we wait for the season.


For the Broncos They did what I hoped they would do. They got players with very high potential. Most if not all of them will not start this year. I know that sounds bad but on a team with only a couple of spots up for grabs for starting spots it is hard to find both value and need at the same time.


Roby stands the best chance to get a lot of playing time. Very high upside but a somewhat risky pick with some character concerns. Have to wait and see.


Cody Lattimer might end up being the best player of the Broncos draft but see the field very little this year. The kid has great hands, NFL body, and deceptive speed. Should be a great Decker replacement more so next year than this year.


Schofield is one I question value but Kiper and Mayock both bragged on this kid quite a bit so maybe I just am missing something.


Barrow was probably my favorite pick the Broncos made. The guy has potential to be a 3-down stud in the middle. A little small right now to be that but the Broncos needed more of a coverage guy at this point anyway as they have a 2-down thumper on the roster already.


The rest of the draft filled some depth with decent potential talent. Like I said most of these guys are not going to play a whole lot this year but next year with a lot of the team hitting Free Agency the Broncos will need these guys to step into some significant roles.


So Solid B from me at this point.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Seattle C.

Very average predictable picks. Tons of talent that needs to be developed but likely not a lot of starting material. Could morph into an A or F down the road.

 

[beardown07]

Maybe homerish, but I liked the Bears draft. Solid B.

 

[HizzleRocker]

Yes we know we have to see them perform before we know what the real draft grade is. So what? Does that mean we can't have an opinion? Kinda lame, imo.


For my Chargers, I give them a B+:

Only head scratcher was taking a RB in the 6th. Don't get it at all. Why do we need a 4th string RB? Coulda picked that position up in free agency easily.

Best pick of the draft was actually our 5th round pick. Carrethers has a real good chance of being a starter for us in year 1, and the potential to be our franchise Nose Tackle.

Verrett fills our biggest need and should very easily start day 1.

Attaochu and Watt provide much needed depth at LB and O-line.

Our needs were CB; NT; and OLB. We addressed all 3 with solid picks.

Through the best two days, the Rams' draft was a strong A. Day 3 not so much, as they started reaching and taking developmental picks when there was still a lot of talent on the board. The only picks I liked of their 7 day 3 picks were EJ Gaines and maybe Sam (and Gilbert as a developmental QB is fine). However, they already picked up a UDFA DE in Westbrooks that was higher rated that Sam on most boards, so his roster spot may already be in doubt. It's not like the Rams need a ton of help in DE depth. I think day 3 probably brought the grade down to a B or B+.

 

[fearthepelicans]

Saints B-minus: I love the Cooks and SJB picks. Fortt, Sunseri and Powell all have good long-term potential, but there's a lot of uncertainty with them. So I'm staying conservative with my grade.

Packers B-plus: Ted Thompson does it again. They addressed all their major needs and added depth behind them.

 

[Clayton]

Rams draft is either an A- or C+ depending on how Bradford does. Its the elephant in the room with the team and you can't win the RG3 trade without a starting level QB

 

[David_son]

If you are forcing me to I give the Bills a B+. I didnt think we really needed Watkins but he is one of the Elite prospects and the trade only impacts 2014 positively. Second round tackle has some injury concerns that scare me but I think being a starting LT for Alabama means the guy can play. I like the LB depth in rounds 3 and 7. Though not sure if either will end up being starters. We added a CB which we need all the help we can get there and I love thr Henderson pick first round talent in round 7 if he can keep out of trouble that could be a big steal for us.

 

[mcnabb7542]

I'm gonna say a B- for my Eagles. I think the first overall pick was a reach, but the next two gave this fast pass offense some more weapons, I said it from the first day of the off season they needed a draft favoring the defense, they did good, biggest get in my eyes is Ed Reynolds the safety from Stanford...

 

[NCChiFan]

Bears, I'll give them a B+. A for addressing needs, C+ cause I'm not sure they picked the right guys, time will tell, that averages out to a B+.

 

[night]

Falcons took:
Jake Matthews OT A&M
Ra'Shede Hageman DT Minnesota
Dezmen Southward FS Wisconsin
Devonta Freeman RB FSU
Prince Shembo OLB Notre Dame
Ricardo Allen CB Purdue
Marquis Spruill ILB Syracuse
Yawin Smallwood OLB Connecticut
Tyler Wood OLB South Dakota

I'd say we had a solid B draft. The only pick I don't like is Devonta Freeman. I don't think Atlanta knows how to utilize the small shifty backs.
