* We got great value with our picks...
Bell was ranked a 1st round pick by Sporting News (best ILB), 2nd-3rd rounder by PFW (2nd best ILB), 2nd-3rd rounder by Scout and a 2nd rounder by the Browns...
Rucker was ranked 3rd rounder by Sporting News (2nd best), 2nd-3rd rounder by PFW, 3rd-4th rounder by Scout and a 2nd rounder by the Browns...
Rubin was ranked a 3rd rounder for SN (4th best DT), 3rd-4th rounder by PFW, 5th-6th rounder by Scout and a 4th rounder by the Browns...
Hubbard was ranked a 4th rounder by SN, 3rd-4th rounder by PFW, a 3rd-4th rounder by Scout and a 4th rounder by the Browns...
Hall was not ranked by by any of those magazines but did carry a 4th round grade from the Browns...
So considering those things, we got good value on players that fit needs which is always a good thing...
* I wished we would of gotten a corner but there were not really that many available, good ones I should say, whenever we picked...
* I don't like the thought of trading away next years 3rd or 5th rounder but keep some things in mind:
- Phil's track record with 3rd rounders is not too good
- A 5th rounder is just that, a 5th rounder
- Savage always seems to recoup those picks
- Travis Wilson and Andra Davis were on the trade block, draft weekend (so we could maybe get picks for them down the road)
- We filled needs with great values with upside
* Supposedly Alex Hall was coveted by a few of the Browns scouts who fell in love with him during the scouting process...
* This judge cannot and should not be judged until at least 3 years from now... Anything else wouldn't be fair...
* but just for the heck of it:
My overall grade: B
I like what Savage did with the pieces he had and what we drafted...
If you take into account Williams, Rogers and Quinn, it changes to an A....
Think I'm crazy?:
Mel Kiper: B+ (2nd highest I think)
USA Today: B-
Detroit Free-Press: B-
Although a lot of writers don't take into account Williams, Quinn and Rogers and don't fully understand the Hubbard and Rucker picks...
