Now some of that I'll certainly chalk up to JC growing curb, but still, we had issues offensively. Besides drafting the punter, I think my second favorite pick is Fred Davis.

When I think about it may favorite pick was both of the Wide Recievers after thinking about it, we really dont have a number 1. Moss is a good number 2 and ARE is a 3 at best, so these two guys Thomas and Kelly could end up being an extremely good tandem.

The kicker we got I think was a steal. Frosty was inconsistent and mediocre. Maybe a Punter wasn't the top need, but this dude can frickin kick.

I feel, like probably everyone else, if we would ahve gotten a bad ass DE, then it would have been an A+.

I give it an A- b/c I like ppretty much all of the picks. I watched all weekend. The only surprise to me was the Punter pickm but like I said, my feelings have changed.

Seems like a solid B+. It could go either way, though. We needed a big possession wideout and between the two we should at least get one solid starter. I'm curious about getting a high rated tight end... I hope we have enough balls to go around. I thought we could've addressed the secondary a bit more, and I'm still not sure about the corner we picked up... or drafting a punter when we had more pressing needs and there were better values out there, but they probably know something more than I do...

I think B+

You know if you look at the punter "almost" as defender, we may have gotten a pretty good deal.

Since the Front Office couldn't get a proven wideout that another team was willing to off-load. They decided to go out and draft two solid and TALL guys that can catch the rock.

I think our secondary will be fine this year. I'm hoping that we can sign a couple of good free-agents to help bolster our aging offensive and defensive lines.

Also, you have to look at our draft in the context of what our divisional opponents did and what holes they tried to fill.

Dallas stocked up on running backs. Has it occurred to anyone that after Marion Barber, they don't have much by way of back up running backs? It's worth keeping an eye on as the season unfolds.

im going with an A on this one..i was a little pissed not geting chad and steaming when we traded our first but we got the best TE in college last year..Two big play recievers and the gun slinging Qb i've been raving about for the last 3 months(see Colt brennan Thread)..Also This lineman we picked up should be a stud...Wow so this is what a actual complete draft looks like..

[Soup's Uncle]

Yeah, and the Giants beefed up their secondary, so it's good to get some weapons to challenge the champs.

A for the first day, B for the second day -> B+.

Time will tell if this was a good draft but I have a feeling that all of our first day picks well contribute from day one. And while the two safeties we drafted aren't something to celebrate I'm guessing at least one of them will be a decent role player.

[12thMan]

Anybody besides me hoping Chad R. will push old man Kendall in training camp? I mean, hoping he's like damn near starting material. I know I am.

I think a low A, I gave it an A. I love our draft. We got more steals than anyone else in the draft as far as Im concerned. Im still not sold on the TE pick in the 2nd, but love the two WRs. Any way you slice it those 3 guys could have been first round picks.

Why? Having two great TE is better than having just one.

I'm not sure I understand what went down trade wise (later trades)... Did we accumulate more picks for next year?

I don't think we got any picks for next year.

B+. I'm a little concerned that our top 3 picks slipped so far, but I obviously don't have the info that professional scouts have. I don't think we made any panic picks, in fact, I think passing on calais was a good move, especially since miami DEs traditionally underachieve.
