do you award points for tardiness?
i'd give us a B-/C+.
we (49ers -
) coulda had:
#1 braylon edwards - the best WR and maybe the best player in this draft.
#33 charlie frye- the best QB in the draft on my board. proto size, smart, tough (plays thru injury), good arm - makes all the throws, good mobility, character and leadership.
#65 eric shelton - a bruiser who makes a nice change-up to kevan barlow.
THAT woulda been an A draft.
but noooooooo. i didn't adjust for timezones. sooooo....
we took:
#1 aaron rodgers - can be a solid pro, STRONG arm and makes all the throws, mobile, slightly undersized. tough and a character guy. hard worker. the top QB on many boards. i prefer him over alex smith.
#33 fabian washington - burner at corner allows SF to move mike rumph to FS, a position of need. rated 5th to 10th among corners on most boards.
#65 chris henry - 5-10th on most pre-combine boards, dropped due to character issues. 6'4", 190 lbs, 4.48 40. henry is quick and athletic with nice length, good hands and leaping ability, with a nice open field burst. a willing blocker. reviews of his work over the middle run hot and cold. tempermental and has violated unspecified team rules. if he matures emotionally, should be a fine player. if not.... oh boy. bustola.
i rate this a C draft.
