Wasn't a fan. With draft grades!

2.) D. I believe in second chances and forgiveness.....just wish, in the Bengals case.....it was another team doing it.  Again, there were DL options to be had here, and Foreman and a couple other good backs were around later.  I hope he's matured A LOT, besides the haymaker, there were articles talking about him not even being able to handle life at OU and wanting to quit and go home.  He had to be convinced into staying......if he hasn't matured A LOT, he won't be handling the intense heat of the NFL spotlight.  I don't like the pick, and probably never will.

3.) A....for many of the same reasons you just touted.

4.) C-....another injured guy? Team must love them.

5.) C....I'm guessing he competes with Core and Erickson.

6.) B-....agreed, although I think Billings may be a pretty good player at some point.

7.) A. I'm giving this an A because AT LEAST we're having legit competition at K for a change.

8.) I....incomplete, honestly don't know much about him, but think there were better options at C out there, and we should have grabbed one.  Of course, had we been actual players in FA, this could have been a moot point.

9.)  Not even gonna rate, there's no reason to....they are what they are.....

My only comment is you seem to putting a lot of negative weight on injury concerns and character concerns. On the injury front, almost every draft pick that has played 3 years of college football has missed time due to injury. Most NFL players will be injured due to the severity of the beatings their bodies take every week.

Oh and on your board, you would have given the Munoz pick a "C" at best at his college knee injuries were considered catastrophic before his draft and back then medical science was in the dark ages reconstructing knees. My point is all these guys are always injury risks and injuries become a crap shoot. All we can judge is if they will NFL ready by September and all reports point to all of our guys on track right now to be ready, once they start working all bets are off to determine who will suffer injuries.
