Round 1 Grades – NFL Draft 2011

[Wood]

1. CAROLINA PANTHERS: CAM NEWTON, QB, AUBURN
The real grade should be “incomplete” because this is a complete boom or bust pick. Carolina gambling again which is why they were in this position to be begin with. Grade: B

2. DENVER BRONCOS: VON MILLER, OLB, Texas A&M
The Broncos got the most dynamic playmaker in the draft. Mike Fox will put Miller on one side and Dumervil on the other and look out AFC West QB’s. Grade: A+

3. BUFFALO BILLS: MARCELL DAREUS DT, ALABAMA
Great player and better pick because they stayed away from Gabbert. The Bills needed a big time difference maker on D and they got one in Dareus. Grade A.

That guy doesn't know how to grade drafts. There are some what I consider very good picks considering the draft class and he grades them low.

 

[NeonNinja]

I don't agree at all.

 

[Staggerlee]

I'll save you the time of reading it. Everyone gets A's and B's (including the falcons who made a herschel-esqu trade, the panthers who took the likely bust newton) and we get a C+.

 

[supercowboy8]

I dont care what that stupid site says, I grade our selves a solid B

 

[Robbieac]

What a maroon. If getting a C+ means you get the top OL in the entire draft then I want a C+ every year!

 

[diehard2294]

so he grades Solder higher then Smith:laugh2:

 

[TheCount]

C+ is ridiculous, but I can completely understand the reservations regarding Tyron Smith.

Hopefully he goes on to be a star, but I don't think he was head and shoulders above the rest of the tackles in this class.

 

[CarlAllDay]

He graded Jimmy smith to the ravens on his bad tattoos!! Lol....why does this guy have a website????? And he graded Us on the fact that he thought we could get a trade done.... It's funny how speculation becomes fact for idiots!

 

[burmafrd]

waste of time

 

[big dog cowboy]

I've never heard of Carl Hammill before.

 

[Arch Stanton]

I've never heard of Carl Hammill before.

You should ask the OP. It's his website. He'll know.

 

[Aven8]

What a joke! He praises the Pats for taking Frankenstein at 18.

He gives the Bills and A for taking the best player in the draft.

 

[jbsg02]

Like thousands of people have said before, grading a draft immediately after it's done is absurd.

 

[HoosierCowboy]

anyone with a computer and basic knowledge of computers and the English language can create a blog and make asinine statements about anything

this guy is proof of that

 

[Doomsday101]

He gave Atlanta a B so much for his opinion.

 

[jblaze2004]

are the bills turning into the colts with two undersize pass rusher's playing DE. They better get some big bodies in the middle or why pass when you can run all day...lol

von miller and dummerville .......just run on them.

They (teams) did. They were 31st in run defense last year. They gave up 2,473 yards on the ground on 531 attempts. (4.7 ypc and 154.6 ypg)

 

[DFWJC]

so he grades Solder higher then Smith:laugh2:

No

He liked Solder at 17 better than Smith at 9....big difference.

He's wrong anyway

 

[Gossamer]

I've never heard of Carl Hammill before.

Well, maybe this will make his 'hatred' a little more understandable:

Carl Hammill's Experience: Owner NFL Draft Rage
Carl Hammill's Education: Drexel University (in Philadelphia, PA)

Now does that not tell you all you need to know?
