Day One Draft Grade

[Gmanc711]

I gave them a C; and its a very weak one at that. I didnt like the Carlos Rogers pick, because I think we should have taken Mike Williams, who would have been a gift at #9. I dont think the fact that we have had WR busts should play into our decisions to draft one; this guy is special and I'm upset we missed out. I think Carlos Rogers will work out; so I'm happy hes on our team, but I would have liked Williams. Jason Campbell, I dont know. I dont mind him; I just think we should have drafted players that will make an impact on our team this year; and worried about a QB next year when some really nice prospects should be avalible.

D: for the simple fact that they only got 2 players. I don't care if that's how many picks they had...that's their fault too and they pay for it in my grading. The pick at 9 I grade a B and the pick at 25 I gave a D. Outside of that we spent 2 other whole rounds yesterday contemplating what we should do in Round 4. That's weak. We needed more picks.

Agreed. I gave a C. I LOVED the Carlos Rogers pick, we avoided making the stupid, Snyder-esque mistake of drafting the riskier, sexier pick in Mike Williams. I was OK with the Jason Campbell pick because I think that if you see a QB you feel is going to be a star, you can't pass it up under any circumstance. I am not going to pretend to know more about Campbell than Joe Gibbs, so if Gibbs feels he can be a star, then I am willing to wait patiently to find out. You can't have too many QBs in my opinion. (plus, the pick seemed to be an admission of failure on the Mark Brunell move, which is music to my ears, I don't want to see Brunell near the field ever again)

So I liked the picks we made, but we def needed more of them. We gave up too much to get Campbell.
