Grade Day 1

[Rome]

Eckel is a fat crater-faced horse's ass.


And Kiper gave the Eagles a B- for the draft.   In other words, they didn't pick who he thought they should pick.

And LOL at a "C" for Maclin.  Good God, man.

im not as down on macklin as eckel seems to be but im not overly happy with the pick either...i would grade that pick at best a C

You said before the draft that if Moreno or Pettigrew were gone then anyone at 21 is game, unless someone unexpected falls.

Moreno wasn't there, but Pettigrew was, and someone unexpected fell. So I assume you locked in on Pettigrew?

im grading the player not the eagles...strictly talking about how good i think mack might or might not be as opposed to who i thought the eagles should or shouldnt have taken

short of prospects like calvin johnson wr's are very risky...especially quick six footers

i can easily see mack being a complete bust (F)

i dont ever seen him being a number one (so no A)

i do think he could be a productive playmaker and grading out at say a B

therefore btwn a B and an F is about a C-

but i do add in some pts for the excellent value he was which brings him to about a C id even go C+

[The BIGSTUD]

There's where we differ. It is hard to judge receivers sometimes going in, but I can easily see Maclin being a number one. I think he has all the tools to be a stud receiver in the NFL.

i dont even think andy reid can "easily" see him being a stud #1 one wr


there wasnt a single wr in the draft this year you can say that about....those guys dont come around that often....theres maybe been three of them in the last five years or so and mack certainly isnt one of them

could he or someone else in this class turn into a stud 1 ala a steve smith absolutely....but there isnt one you could easily see doing it

[Drunkmasterflex]

There are a lot of WRs this year that have potential to be #1 guys, but that means all of nothing.  Crabtree is probably the best prospect since Johnson, but they aren't even close.  I think Maclin has the potential just because of how young he is and he won't be counted on to come in and be anything but a situational guy.  That should really help his development, much like it did with Santanio Holmes.

not that i'm disagreeing with your overall point, but using andy reid as your gauge when it comes to identifying receiver talent doesn't exactly bode well in your favor.
