Grade the 'Skins draft

I went with an A because this years draft yielded Sean Taylor, Clinton Portis, Mark Brunnel, Chris Cooley....and a few o and d linemen. We didnt go about it the way most teams do but we have impact talent that can contribute this year. Sean Taylor is going to be great and the move for Cooley makes me think he wanted him more than Winslow anyways. We drafted a bunch of blue collar guys that bring their all week in and week out.

completely agree SKINSnCANES
as an offseason it's amazing how many areas have been upgraded- including the secondary which was probably a big concern for all of us when we lost Champ

but that's why they get an A for this draft- Gibbs is apparently on a 2 year plan and his strategy this offseason showed it on Off and Def (ok maybe not dline completely but we'll see)

I gave em a B, but it's contingent. If one of the O-line prospects pans out (I mean gets some time as a decent backup in the next 2 years), then it's an A. Taylor is the real deal, and the right pick over KW II (Thank you coach Williams!). Cooley looks like a Joe Gibbs type player with all the tools to be our new H back. The 2nd rounder was a bit high, but if he starts in the next two years (which I bet he will), then it's a great pick. Since Bugel is one of the great developers of o-linemen, either of these could be a great pickup. Remember Joe Jacoby!! It makes a lot of sense to give Bugel some players to work with. That's what he does. So, maybe it's an A. But I'll be cautious yet.

I give a B only because we had four picks.

I gave them a B/B+ because they did not draft any DL players even in later rounds. Maybe they have their eyes on the UFA market.

I say B...I like going after new Hogs. Getting those behemoths was a great idea. DL is something that I think will need to be addressed creatively...say with on field tactics that minimize the weakness.

B, again we traded our picks for vets and gave away a 2nd to get Portis. A+ if including Portis in the draft, I'd rather have him than any of the other backs in the draft. Taylor immediately upgrades our d, i'm buying his jersey as soon as it's available.

I gave them a B. S.T is worthy of an A but I think the jury is out on the others for the next few years.

B, failed to address the needs on the DL (there's always the June 1st cuts) & for trading away next years 2nd round pick

F once again we have begin to piss away our picks for next year. We have up a second rounder next year?????? Plus our two day 2 picks were a waste. We need d-line. The FO should get credit for picking Sean tayler. Though i do think that was the right move, over Windslow. FO make their money in the later rounds and once again they failed there, any gave up to much for Cooley.
