So far I have the draft grades in our own division as follows:
Philly = BEST
Dallas = 2nd BEST (a)
NYGiants = 2nd BEST (b)
Skins = Duh...no picks, probably got a starting LB, but gave up next year's #2 to get him.
Now, before the koolaid drinking BP buttkissing homers attack me because Dallas got everyone they wanted and have had a perfect draft because we're going to a 2-TE set (need) and because our 3rd round DE was BPA (hmmm), button it.
Of course Philly has had the best draft...they had the earliest picks and the most picks...they are supposed to get the best players, and they did, though the homers will try to say the two OLmen aren't going to be any good and Bunkley couldn't play for us (dumbest thing I read yesterday). The last place team is supposed to have the best draft.
We expected the Skins to have a lousy draft because they always give away their picks.
The surprise, imo, is that we manage to have a better draft than the GIANTS...we pick before them, but I expected them to do better...selecting Kiwanuka in round 1 is, imo, a hilarious joke.
Bottom line....this looks like it will be a decent draft...guys will make the team...hopefully, Carpenter will start from day 1, and hopefully Fasano will prove to be as good or better than Witten since we took him much higher in the draft....hopefully, we'll pick up solid guys today who will make the team and contribute to our future.
A solid draft by Dallas, but I have to say....Michael, if you read this, I certainly hope this is not a "Defining Draft" as you suggested in your earlier thread...because while I'm not unhappy with this draft, I don't see anything exciting enough to hope it defines our position in the league for the next few years.
