If you are grading THE DRAFT and nothing else, the Redskins drafted one player who is virutally certain to start and play every snap on defense barring injury. They also drafted a tight end/H-back who had a nice year in college last year but is hardly considered at this point to be a sure-fire starter in the NFL right away. Then they drafted big people.

If you actually get one starter out of THE DRAFT that is an average draft - no better. So the grade of "C" makes some sense. If Cooley is a starter and sees the field for more than half the snaps this year, then they should get a "B".
