Grade This Years Draft

[BFritz21]

I went with an A-, but it's between that and B+. Originally, I was very low on the draft, but all the draft sites are either giving us a B or ranking us in the top five drafts in the league.

1. Would have LOVED Howard here and I think he could have been huge for us. Ross could be really good, including a big play threat, but I'm wondering if Marvin will even let Zampese even take shots downfield with him.

2. Mixon- LOVE this pick because he's the best back in this class. He's explosive and will open-up play action a lot more than Hill does.

3. Willis- love it because we need more out of our horrible pass rush.

4. Lawson- same as Willis and I love doubling-up because you can never have too many pass rushers.

4. Glasgow- Solid pick. Might have been a bit early, but I think he can wreak havoc in the middle of the line. He could do well in freeing up Atkins and our ends.

5. Elliot- Wanted Gonzalez but I'm warming up to this pick after watching his pro day workout.

5. Dielman- we needed more help on the line and earlier, but he could battle for a spot.

6. Evans- not expecting much, but is fast enough to help on special teams and I'd like him to be more physical to play backer but he could eventually be solid in covering the tight ends of our division.

6. Wilson- not sure what to make of this pick.

7. Schreck- wanted Howard early but Schreck is a big target that I think is underrated and could be a great safety valve. We never seem to use players to their potential, though.

I'm leaning more towards an A after typing all that.
