Grade the fucking draft - Leaguewide edition

Biggest winner - Minnesota
Has anybody ever had a first round like this? Unbelievable. Too bad they're still stuck with Christian Ponder, but there are some good young players on that roster.

Biggest loser - Dallas
Jerry Jones is out of his fucking mind. That's really all I have to say here.

Most potential for disaster - Cleveland
Mingo is boom or bust. Beyond that, they get CB Leon McFadden in the 3rd, who seems limited to being a solid nickleback. Then a backup safety followed by two small school projects. Barkevious could end up being stud, but I think there's also a chance that all five of these players won't be on the roster in four years.

Most underrated - Houston
They always seem to slip under the radar during the draft, but they always get good players. Their first three picks (Hopkins, Swearinger, Brennan Williams) are solid bets to be starting within two years, if not immediately. They also got Quessenberry in the 6th. Really like this draft.

Most overrated - San Francisco
They had a huge haul with 11 picks, and undoubtedly gained some young talent, but I think Reid was huge reach at 16. They probably could have waited and gotten him or Elam later in the round. And I like Carradine, but they really needed another LB? They took another one in the 4th. It's still a very impressive draft class, just not as epic as some people are making it.

 

Bleacher Report gives us a C+. Fuck them

 

SI has the Panthers' draft tied for second worst with a C. Amusingly, Tampa Bay and New Orleans are the ones they tied with.

 

Considering we have 5 picks I thought they did ok . The guard and RB have me scratching head though

 

Short is a pretty risky second round pick. I think it'll work, but if it doesn't then things suddenly look bad.

 

Yeah, fuck anyone who gives us a C, and because I did, it means I'm all sad and shit.

MARK OUT FOREVAH!!!!!

Goooooooooooooo PANTHERRRRRS!!!!!


We earned the fucking C. Time will be the ultimate factor, but for now, the C is earned, and I think, correct.

 

Not a lot to disagree with in the initial post...

Biggest winner Minnesota by far, in my book.

BIggest loser was the Dolphins/Cowboys. I think Dallas rebounded a little and picked up a few good ones, but the Dolphins out-thunk themselves and traded up for fucking Dion Jordan? But Dallas trading back, and getting ONE nickle for a dollar was fucking hilarious.

POtential for disaster I think might be Jets. Richardson doesn't fit, Smith could be a fucking bust, and Milliner will have to adjust being compared to Revis for a long time....but they did get some nice fucking value in the later rounds....

Most underrated is Houston for sure. Three starters I think...damn.

Most overrated is the Jets again. San Fran is a good candidate, because their first rounders have been shit as of late. Reid might be ok...but trading up to get him feels weird to me. He's an ok player.

 

What?
