I give it a solid B with the possibility of moving into B+. The Skins had four picks and got a quality starter with pro-bowl potential, a solid TE/HBack who may start but will almost certainly be in the rotation, and two players for depth on the line.

If even one of the late picks stick long term, that means 75% of the picks were successful. To me that's a pretty good success rate. The only reason to downgrade, in my opionion, is that they didn't address the D-Line. But, quite frankly, it is unlikely you are going to get an impact D-Line starter in the late rounds anyway.

A lot depends on how you grade drafts:
How does volume factor in?
How did you address your team needs?
What is the projected success rate of your picks?

With 4 picks, the Skin's addressed two glaring needs TE/HBack and Safety. That alone gets them a B-.
