If we had drafted a LB or two it would be higher.
9 out of 10.
We get Meriweather, Welker, and RANDY MOSS.
Dude Moss runs a faster 40 than Calvin Johnson and he just turned 30 years old. The guy's skills are unreal and not only does he have the physical tools but he also has a lot of experience and is a proven receiver in this league.
If you were just judging this draft on the college players you just added, I'd have to give this draft a D. The Merriweather pick was decent enough in that we got a player who fills a need and is close enough to a first round grade to merit the pick. However the other 8 picks were garbage. Few addressed any needs and most won't make the team. I think the best we can hope for is that 2-3 of the eight second day picks will be on the roster 3 years from now... and that is not a good draft.
That being said, added Welker and Moss, plus getting 2 additional first day picks would elevate the draft to an B+, IF your grade included these factors, but if you are just counting the talent you just acquired from the college ranks, this draft was just bad...as of the day after the event.
If you separate the trades they made it was a below average
draft for them.Outside of Merry and Brown there isnt any
player there that has a chance to make this roster.
