A-

Great value, but didn't address LB needs whatsoever. Still a bang up job by BB and Pioli, clearly the best draft in the division.

I would have been happier to trade up in the 3rd and grabbed L Pope.
WE made our draft with the picks of Jackson, O'Callahan and Smith.
I think we are now set at K as well.
We will sign some UDFAs at LB...

The first day picks alone make my rating a solid A.

Now, given a little success day 2 then it is A + all the way.

I like Gostkowski & Mills and I know very little about the others.

B+. I liked what we did on the first day, but was a bit confused with our later picks on day 2.

Thumbs up

i thought it was great. No LB's (well, Mincy I suppose) surprised me, but BB knows the quality of the available players better than me.
I can't wait to see this offense in action. They loaded up on weapons, and with the depth we now have at TE/H-back we should create A LOT of mismatches. I look for them to use some interesting formations to get a lot of these guys on the field at once. I think opposing defenses will be burning a lot of timeouts.

Honestly, what would you expect in the 7th round. If you downgraded to a B because of that ...

They DID address the LB position with Jeremy Mincey, a DE/OLB convert.

However, I feel they reached for Gostkowski and Mills. I question the pick of Stevenson as an OG/OC. Would have preferred Matt Lentz from Michigan. Someone who is a team leader. Don't care at all for the pick of Willie Andrews.

I gave them a C+ for this draft.
