2012 NFL Draft Grades

If Freeman is a backup then Blaine Gabbert is practice squad material at best.

I never said anything about Blaine Gabbert, i'm the first one to tell you he sucks.

Balls in your court, bro.

Right now, what's the Jaguars biggest weakness? (I'll assume OL, not knowing much about them)

Our offensive line is average at best so its not a huge weakness but our pass rush, QB Play and receivers are our biggest weakness. Everything but the QB play was addressed in the draft so we gotta hope Blaine turned into Jesus over the offseason. I would have said back up running game is a weakness but we get Rashad Jennings back from injury so i'm not worried about that at all.

I'm glad I'm not the only one scratching my head at the Redskins taking Cousins. You don't draft a back up player when you need starters (RT, safety, receiver)

I really liked the Jets draft...

Coples was a risk considering he played lazy @ UNC but I love getting someone of his talent into Rex's hands...he plays the run well and is a considerable upgrade on rushing the passer, something this team needs.

WR Stephen Hill is one of my favorite picks of the draft. He's a very adept blocker on the outside, and then adds blazing speed to this WR corps, something this team really needs. His downfield ability will stretch the field big time and open up underneath for Sanchez/Tebow.

LB Davis is a demon, he's everywhere...his speed and tenacity is a HUGE welcome to this LB corps that's really aging and slow, aside from Maybin/Harris. He's seen as a future starter and I truly believe he will be starting for this team in 2 years.

The later picks like RG, he's a big guy who looks like the future replacement to Moore at the guard spot. Ganaway just future signifies how much Tebow and this option/wildcat will be used, as he's a big back who has sneaky speed...more of a downhill runner and we need badly a RB to step up.

Well they invested a ton this off-season in bringing in Morgan and Garcon. I also think that Leonard Hankerson is going to be a good player in the league. We cut Gaffney today so that obviously isn't a huge deal.

I don't like the fact that we are counting on Tanard Jackson and Brandon Meriweather starting. Though the Washington coaches throughout the years have always been enamored with Reed Doughty, and they liked DeJon Gomes last season. Madieu Williams is also in the mix as well.

The Redskins really could have used the offensive line depth to be honest. They've got great RB and WR depth, solid depth at safety and great depth along the defensive front seven. I'm still waiting for them to address that.

They have a 50/50 club at receiver. Frankly, I think Morgan will do nothing. Hankerson is coming off an injury and we don't know how he will respond. Plus, he had ONE good game. Let's not go crazy here. Garcon .... needs to prove a lot. Moss is only getting older. It would have been nice to get a speedy slot receiver to groom for the next year. Especially one that could handle punts.

But right tackle would have been my pick. Jamal Brown has really done nothing in DC that would lead you to believe he should be more than a back up. I would have gone after a right tackle in the third round. I like Leribeus, but he was a reach in the third. I would have gone Donald Stephenson at tackle. He's raw, but he's athletic, and we're going to need an athletic right tackle with RG3 as our QB. Could have had Leribeus in the 4th instead of Cousins.
