I gave it a D, and that was kind.
Kiper has us ranked 32nd. Us and Atlanta were the only C's he gave out, and they gave up a 1st to move up and take Pearce, and still were ranked ahead of us.

Fairchild was the only pick I did not actively dislike and it was still a reach.
Now, that is not to say I hate the players. It isn't their fault we picked them too high. Or just kept picking guys at the same spot and ignoring others.
But I don't think any of these guys make us better on Day 1. And if so, not by much (Knight over Pratt).
Stewart & Fairchild both have high ceilings and I hope they get their eventually.
Carter gives us better LB depth, and hopefully he can cover some, but looks LB4 to me. Rivers also ups our OL depth and is an upgrade over Stueber/Kirkland/Cochran. Or at least I think he is.
