[Risen Star]

I have to thank @Reality @BrAinPaiNt and @MichaelWinicki for their help in doing this.

I'd congratulate the winner but bleep that.

 

[unionjack8]

Seriously who the f is handing out 2s and 3s

 

[Risen Star]

Seriously who the f is handing out 2s and 3s

Some people hand out grades that are mainly 5 to 10. Others might give out a high grade of 7 and a bunch of 2s and 3s.

But it wasn't me. I gave you a 1.

I didn't deserve that.....people are sleeping on Armstrong....

 

[unionjack8]

Props to whoever gave a 10 to Denver. You obviously know your draft stuff..

 

[MichaelWinicki]

OK, Dallas didn't fare well in this according to the participants...

Was it due to the player picked in round 1 or because it was a DE picked in round 1?

I can't remember the last time they graded well.
Too many grade on if their pet cats got chosen..

 

[Teague31]

I take issue with the biggest steal selection. Gesiki is just a good a prospect and just absolutely blew up the combine and I got him 31 picks later

 

[MichaelWinicki]

I can't remember the last time they graded well.

That's a valid point.

So what do you think of the 1st round pick?

 

[unionjack8]

That's a valid point.

So what do you think of the 1st round pick?

I think he's gonna be a very good player in 3/4 years. Raw. Athletic.
I wouldn't have taken him as I dint see DE as a huge need but I understand why he was taken...

 

[Pape]

Props to whoever gave a 10 to Denver. You obviously know your draft stuff..

Denver not drafting a qb.... deserved an overall F. Not sure why anyone rated your draft higher than a 5.

 

[unionjack8]

Denver not drafting a qb.... deserved an overall F. Not sure why anyone rated your draft higher than a 5.

Because I fully expect cousins to sign there.

 

[Pape]

Because I fully expect cousins to sign there.

Cop out decision making. It was by far their highest priority.

 

[unionjack8]

Cop out decision making. It was by far their highest priority.

Not really. If not Cousins it's Case Keenum. So not a cop out at all.

 

[Nightman]

After the Combine the Ravens would like to change their pick from Orlando Brown to Josh Allen at 16
