They follow the middle school philosophy... A's for all except the real brain-deads. B+'s for them!

Reviewers are Hoydas. Doesn't matter what they're reviewing, if they're being paid for it they're going to wuss out. Nothing ever gets less than 75%.

And that Sports Douche on SI called the draft of Lito, Sheldon, and Mlew a F. Noone knows what this will be like a next season or 4 years from now. I just cant wait until the season starts up.

Wow, that was great IGY. Lets see last years...and how about the year Lewis, Sheldon and Lito were picked?

Nearly every one of those geniuses declared the Eagles draft in 2006 an unqualified success. Didn't quite work out that way yet, did it?

And remember when they pretty well all ripped the Eagles for taking three defensive backs when they already had Taylor and Vincent & Dawkins?

I'm not saying I disagree with the middle of the road grades but the high ones and low ones are pretty laughable. Then again, so are most of the pundits who trowel out that tripe every year.

they all are...especially the stable of 20 some analysts ESPN employs. i only enjoy the break down of film by Jaws from time to time but most of them are just paid to be loud and make stupid predictions.

2006 was potentially a great draft year. Sure, Bunkley ate ass, but it's still too early to declare him a bust. Justice and Jean-Gillis have potential, and make great back-ups. Gaither earned his paycheck. Ramsey looked good and then disappeared for no obvious reason. Bloom was a flier all along, and Gocong was kind of a WTF? pick from the get go. But that draft still has huge potential, and I think was very solid. 2007 don't look so hot, from the get go. I'll root for the team even if the best player on it is Hank Baskett, so I'm hoping they know more than I do (Hell, I would've taken Akili Smith over DMac, shows you what the farg I know).

Note how Clayton took his value chart directly from Kiper. And wasn't Kiper high on Boller coming out of college? Is he claiming he learned his lesson because of that? Ghay.

BTW, Drew Stanton is garbage and will prove it.

PhillyPhreak54 · April 30, 2007, 10:37:12 PM

Yeah, they showed Stanton's pro-day workout on NFLN and Mayock was all over it. Dude threw exactly zero spirals during the whole workout and Mayock was like...if he canot throw a spiral in shorts and a shirt why is he being drafted 43rd overall?

Grading an NFL draft the next day is like grading your lottery ticket right after the machine prints it out.

Big, deep ditch + bulldozer pushing bodies of "draft experts" into ditch x filling ditch = a perfect draft for me

We can bring this back up in January of 2009.

It's funny how most of the people who say we took Kolb with Beck, Stanton, and Edwards on the board. 90% of those people never saw any of those QBs play.

how true. shtein, i was in my local Long's Drugs this evening and stopped by the magazines. I looked at three of the draft publications and all three were raving about Kolb. They loved him. Yes, it was one hell of a curve ball but I can live with it.

ya'll gonna luv Ilaoa.
