[GimmeTheBall!]

I have to say A for the first day, C for the next two days.

Barber and Choice need to go and if they do it's good. Let's end the three backs because the never actually made it work. Murray is good , it was not expected but he is a good 3rd down back and picks up blitz on P/P. The rest of draft was ho-hum for me. The first three are quality, and people will be surprised with Carter.

I'm a day late, but my grade would have been an A.

B-. I like the draft in general, and particularly that they targeted Offensive line, but i was disappointed in no significant help in the defensive backfield.

I'd have to say C. I like that we took OLs and I think that Smith has talent but I don't like the fact that we took a lot of guys that have an injury history.

I don't like the Murray pick. I think we could have gone else where there and gotten better value.

All in all, this grade could improve dramatically if all the players taken have no issues with existing injuries moving forward.

[Verdict]

My draft grade as of now is a B.

I think over time our first rounder must stick and be a top 10 player at his position to be worthy of the pick he was taken. If he is a top 5 player at his position, then the graft grade for him would be an A.

Our second round pick should be a solid rotational player and play 50% of the snaps this year, or must be an outstanding situational player to merit the pick and/or become a starter by year 2 to merit the selection at the place he was drafted. If he exceeds that, then he would merit an A.

The Murray pick brings the most potential upside. Murray should be a solid backup, and get get some situational playing time during meaningful points in the game and/or be a factor on special teams to merit making this pick. In the event that he gets significant playing time and or eventually becomes the starter this year or next year, then I think this selection would merit an A.

In the event that any of the remaining picks contribute in any substantial manner, then the grade for them would be an A.

a solid B would haave been a A

except the Murray pick. I think we could have gone else where there and gotten better value.

B+ depending on how Demarco works out. If they had used that pick on a DL I would have been happier, but at least they stayed true to their draft board and on a team needing help at nearly every position they couldn't miss filling a "need".
