So how does everyone feel after the draft? Every year there are some winners and some losers, where do you think your team falls? Pittsburgh Steelers Overall = B Biggest Reach = Colclough (Coke-Lee) Best Pick = Max Starks
Philadelphia Eagles Overall = B+ Biggest Reach = Shawn Andrews Best Pick = Matt Ware Comments: A lot of people question this draft. IMOP I think drafting should be done for the future. Shawn Andrews after his sophomore year was slated to be a top 10 pick. he had a lot of personal problem with him mom losing a job and having no money and etc.. It was hard for him, and he gained some weight. It's not like the dude did drugs, or got drunk all the time. He's a good kid, and I think he'll be successful. The O-line was a huge problem last year, and I think thats a problem that needed to be adresses, and I am glad they did that. Matt Ware was projected to be a high 2nd round pick, and they got him in low 3rd round. It's a flat out steal. He will be a great replacement for Bobby T.
I'd give my team a B as well. We really didn't need much so there really wasn't alot of excitement. our biggest reach has to be Ben Watson. He has all the ability but hasn't had the numbers to back it up. I don't know alot about him but all I have heard is he was a reach. The way I look at it is there is no pressure for him to perform this season with graham and Fauria in front of him so he should be able to pick up alot of the little things from those guys, especially Fauria. After the first all our picks were just for depth so I wouldn't consider us an A becuase we were pretty vanilla this year. No big trades on draft day which was a shock. If you count the trade for dillon pre draft than I'd say it's a B+ .
Giants B+ Big Reach: None ( since they got like 3 picks) Best Pick: ELI I liked the pick of Snee. I think our O-line holes are fixed. But no one else does. Petigout, Snee, 2 Browns guys, and Either the guy who broke his leg or Diehl
Bears A- biggest reach - none. I dont feel they reached on any picks Best pick - tommie harris - this guy will dominate only regret is that they did not use a pick to draft jarrett payton.
Ask me next year at this time. For now, grade is a C. We filled holes and built for the future. We did not do bad, but we did not get any steals. Biggest reach may be Julius Jones, but we had to have a RB, and they were going fast. If we didn't, he would likely be someone else's biggest reach. Best wove / worst move: If Jones turns out to be a decent (average) NFL back, we made the right move by trading for next years first rounder. If he is a bust, then missing out on Stephen Jackson will be the worst move. Contrary to what people think, Parcells is not on the must win now mode and we aren't good enough to go for that knockout punch move. We have a lot more building to do then being one pick away from the Superbowl.
Dolphins B(about as good as you can do picking 20th or lower without trading future draft picks) Biggest Reach-Carey at 19(didnt have to trade up a pick) Best Pick-Poole(an absolute steal in the 4th round) I liked the direction of the draft, but they got fleeced for a 4th by the Vikes
Beef you need to complain to the cleveland browns they set an ugly precedent when they paid a 2nd to move up one spot. in comparison a 4th is not so bad
Not to mention, will Winslow even be good in that system? The only thing really going for them is that Garcia likes to use the Tight End. He used Eric Johnson alot when he wasn't injured.
Pats: A Best pick: cedric Cobbs. A solid running back and he'll learn a lot behind Dillion. No real reaches.

Holding it together will be the biggest challenge, not to mention a tough schedule. Most teams seemly improved their situations this offseason. We'll see what pans out.
Tampa's grade I say C+ (micheal clayton was a crazy pick over guys we could of used at dt. Tommie harris,vince wilfolk etc. I think our sleeper pick in the draft (will allen ohio st saftey) This kid has potential to start eventually.
