yea me too. i know that's unrealistic but that's the grade for this year's draft as best we can tell. traded down to cover loss of picks, still got our guy at a cheaper price, filled top 3 needs in order, filled next 3 needs too and with high potential guys. can't ask for much more than that.

2008-honestly this is probably going to turn out a B-. brown will probably struggle for a few games at least but may show the signs at the end of the year. molden and slaton probably fill their roles well as 3rd CB/3rd down RB. adibi is probably quality depth and hell on wheels as a special team gunner. okam may move it to a B+ if he does well or a C+ if he is god awful. barber probably makes the PS and alex brink is at least 3 years of soaking in everything kubiak says and clip board holding away from anything.

now if we were to grade last year's draft....or even the one before it....

2007-B+ amobi okoye looks to make some noise in his 2nd year, fred bennett looks to continue to be a playmaker, and zac diles looks to be starting as a 7th round pick. harrison is competing for a spot at safety but probably ends up as quality depth. frye and studdard i don't expect much more than to be depth but the pick holding this draft back from "A" status is the 3rd round pick jacoby jones. as much as we all fell in love with him it's time to show why...in real games. i think he has it in him, just a matter of doing it. 3 starters, 1 special teamer who could develop into a gifted reciever, 1 quality depth and 2 depth. B+

2006-A+ mario williams and demeco ryans (the droy) are putting this defense into the "tough" category. eric winston has made himself a cornerstone of the O'line and though charles spencer is questionable to ever play again we all saw what he was looking to be. owen daniels has made himself into a solid tight end with room to grow. wali lundy and david anderson almost don't even matter that neither will ever be anything. 5 starters, 1 who we hope can play an any fashion even as guard depth. 1 probowler, 1 who will be a probowler and 2 who possibly could be probowlers. hard to beat a draft like this.
