How does Paul Zimmerman give the Bears a "D"? They picked up a very talented TE, and they made picks that should help give them depth in the defensive positions. Plus, Payne is said to be one of the most athletic players in the draft and although average fans dont know him, supposedly he is very popular among GMs, coaches, etc.

Unfortunately, I don't find anything in a rather humdrum draft that intrigues me until the fifth round; Kevin Payne, a sleeper, a versatile strong or free safety, and this addresses a real need since Mike Brown seems to be hurt so often now.</div>
Ehh, Jets are ranked above average overall, but I don't agree with the 2 people who only gave the Jets a C. Yeah, the trades up left them with only 4 picks, but the Jets did very well in those 4 picks, and it was a thin draft to begin with, so making moves to get 2 First Round Talents instead of picking many times from a very mediocre talent pool a good idea, especially without jeopardizing future drafts like the Browns did (Who somehow was their consensus #1) despite the fact that they likely will end up giving away a Top 15 pick on top of their Second Rounder for Brady Quinn.
-The Jets definitley should have gotten higher than that. -Browns shouldn't have been looked at as the best overall draft. After all, they probably gave it to them considering they got Quinn and Thomas, not factoring other picks.-Lions, I think, should be worse than it has up there. I don't think they spent all picks very well. Hopefully Gaylord Stanton's kid can do something good for the team in the next few years.
Most analysts don't factor Thomas Jones into the mix when they do factor Randy Moss which is complete Bullshit.
Ravens didn't make enough "flashy" picks so I basically didn't expect a good grade. I think people are putting too much weight into us drafting Troy Smith.It's funny how the Browns get an A for this draft. No need to consider they're fucked for next season. Sorry but Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn won't help them from being the 4th seed and 6 win team at best in the AFC East.
The Browns gave next year's 1st round pick to the Cowboys... not like the Boys will make a good pick anyways...I don't see why they gave the Redskins a bad grade. You gotta grade the picks that we had. It's not this year's fault we only had 5 picks. It was last year's offseason that should've got a D and C, not this year's. H.B. Blades will be a starter in a few years and LaRon Landry is already a star.

You're still the ones who traded away almost your entire draft in bad deals. Brandon Lloyd made almost no impact, and Rocky McIntosh and T.J. Duckett rarely saw time off of the bench. That has to hold against you when talking about the draft this year as you used this years picks to acquire those players. And for the record, not a single player in this draft 'is already a star'......none.
Calvin Johnson, LaRon Landry, Levi Brown, Adrian Peterson... they're stars. Everyone else can be a bust.

It's only because Landry is a Skin that you'd say that. Stop being an idiot, we all know he's not a sure-fire star.

There are few quality guys Washington go there in Landry and Blades. Not sure about the rest of the guys. But there was no way that I would have given up the 6th pick for LaRon Landry when there was Jamaal Anderson, Okoye, or Willis. But that's just me. Besides Washington needed more help on the line. And if I'm not mistaken, they were one of the teams with the fewest sacks. So that's one reason that maybe people gave them a low grade.
Maybe if you retards realized Springs is an injury waiting to happen, you could've done something. Yet you retards still bring nothing in to help the CB's.
