I give it a B+

I think Martin is a top 10 quality lineman, so I can't feel bad about the first round. Donald would have been nice given the need, but I really hate drafting interior d-linemen in the first. They seem to never live up to the hype.Am I the only one having a hard time digesting this draft? Didn't like how the first three rounds broke, and did not like the pick in the 4th. Liked all the other players, though (including our 1 and 2), and got really good value late.
For an overall deep draft, though, and drawing at a disadvantage early, I have a hard time saying we were anything more than average. I'm going with a C, I think.

I like Martin, too. Just don't like the way those two rounds played out. For an A from me, we'd have moved down, added a pick, and a player at a position of high need. And not coughed up the 3rd rounder right after. Such a good, deep draft for everybody, too, makes it hard not to grade on the curve.
I would ask that you evaluate the bottom off the draft more because I think Gardner and the other 7th rounders have the potential to really help us.
Over the years I've realized draft day grades are utterly meaningless.
Having said that - I give it a B.
