Are we grading the players or the efforts of the FO to make us a better team?

If we are grading the players, ask again in 2-3 years. It takes time to discern a Tom Brady from a Heath Shuler.

If we are grading FO effort, I give us a B-. In the draft we simply weren't going to be able to fill all 3 holes at OT, DE, and LB. Filling two of those holes through the draft would be a good draft. If Orakpo is the real deal, we filled one hole. If one of those LB's turns out to be something like the next Horton, we filled two holes. And let's face it, by drafting 2 LB's we are increasing the chance that at least one of the LB's works out. We all know that the draft is a crap shoot and hedging your bets is not a bad way of going about things. We also may have come up with Sellers' replacement, given that Sellers is 34 years old. But, at best, Sellers' replacement is a project.

It is hard to tell if we picked the right guys to fill these holes. Glenn seems like a strange choice but then again the Chargers once took a basketball player named Antonio Gates. And I do not know why we needed another WR. I'm with those who would rather have drafted Rashad Jennings.

So, B-.
