"A" Draft Grades

[Walter]

Some had questions about why I gave out so many A's.

I gave out an A for:

1. If a team didn't reach and addressed a need.
2. If a team drafted someone with great value (i.e. should have been drafted earlier like the Saints w/ Carl Nicks) but didn't necessarily address a need.


I gave out a D or F for:

1. A slight reach who did not addressing a need.
2. A major reach

Rivals.com was hating on the Bears draft... Kept saying we didn't draft a QB which we all know but maybe they have other tricks up their sleeve??? I'm hoping at least

[Drumsteroo]

They got an undrafted QB out of colorado state named Caleb Hanie. Big arm and 64% completion for a crappy team. Mel really likes him. They also signed _____ hill qb from southern illionois. hes a lefty, thats all i know about him. not ideal, but we had a ton of needs, and at least the guys we got can help us win this year, we wouldnt have seen that QB for a few years.

[Matt McGuire]

Walter you do give out way too many A's.

[Walter]

I disagree

I agree with your grade for CAR's draft. Great talent but we have to lose a letter grade for that trade with PHI.

What's the worth of a B or C then?

[Walter]

"B" would be maybe a slight reach that filled a big need, or a non-reach that fills a minor need.

"C" would just be a blah pick... maybe a slight reach that fills a minor need or a non-reach that fills no need at all.

I didn't give any D's or F's in Round 7

Then there was the Z pick, defined as Colt Brennan.

Or the chiefs drafting a 2nd TE

I heard of Hanie. People seem to like him. Maybe he will be the next Toni Romo.

I dont want Toni Romo, I want a Bears QB who can WIN playoff games!

Grossman has won more playoff games that Romo, and Orton is tied with him.

Because he ain't gonna do **** in the NFL.

[PuppyPuncher]

Shouldn't that DE that the Titans taken been a "Z Pick"?

They could have used that wasted pick to trade up for a pretty good WR.
