Going into this draft, I was more ambivalent than I've been about the draft in a long time.  I think that was because I felt great about last year's draft, and those guys just didn't produce like I'd hoped.

That said, I think this draft sucked it pretty hard.  And nothing they do with the last couple of picks is going to change my mind on that. REALLY underwhelming. 

Hey, it's a crapshoot every year, and a couple of these guys could be players-- there's no telling.  But on first blush, man, what a rough weekend.

I'll be generous with a D.

C-...the RB and DE pick save it from a D

C. So far, incredibly average. They filled their holes, just with the wrong guys at the wrong time.

DH

Ill be the first to say F-.

Wow...you're an easy grader.

The Kolb pick ruins the entire mood of the draft and makes you think every pick isnt good, but each pick after that one has good reasoning.

If Kolb is a good starter in 3 years:  A+

If not: D
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
I once believed in causes too,
I had my pointless point of view,
And life went on no matter who was wrong or right.

Tony Hunt does nothing for me.  The DE and S picks were fair at best at the spots they came off the board...and that's the only positive I can take out of it.  The Kolb pick doesn't bother me so much, but if they wanted to take him, they easily could have traded down.  I don't think anyone else would have touched him until the third.

So I just imagined them picking CJ Gaddis and Stewart Bradley? Even people on these boards must have imagined it too.

I'm the Anti-Christ. You got me in a vendetta kind of mood.

I'm with that. If the ND DE pans out that will elevate my view, but I'm WAY leery of their ability to evaluate dline draft talent.
