Grade your team's 2014 draft

[Hasselbeck]

A+

Everyone the Seahawks draft in the late rounds turns into an all-pro.. so.. just rating this an A+ now to save the time.

[Hasselbeck]

national media pulling same card. I think browns draft was a solid A. landing probably 4 -5 starting calabar players (sleeper pick i love very high upside on our 3rd and 4th round guys)

Gordon

In 2015. Sure.

cameron (lets behonest better playing wr)

No he's better as a TE because then he's matched up with a LB or S .. and yes he's probably the best weapon the Browns have now.

Hawkins

Little
Burleson

Benjamin (break out season "think Djax)

Johnson

cooper
plus 2 UDFA wr's
Honestly think WR depth is one of the teams strenths right now.

First reaction to the Packer draft was a little negative. After a better, more in-depth look I'd give it a B-B+.

1. Ha Ha Clinton Dix FS- I think this was a no brainer home run pick. Green Bay's starting Safeties were the worst in the NFL last year and Clinton-Dix was widely regarded as the top safety among draft pundits.
2. Davanta Adams WR- His number were astronomical. I'm a tad bit worried about him being a product of his college offense but his ball skills and hands were some of the best in the draft. I think this kid has a chance to be very good in an offense that is very kind to WRs.
3. Khyri Thorton DT- Not a fan of this pick but I think the Packers had a lil bad luck with Nix going 2 picks earlier. I think the kid will be serviceable. He has the explosion to play the 3 tech which I think the Packers will use more of this year. I'm not sure I like him at nose or the 5 tech because I don't think he has the size or length to play a 2 gap scheme.
3. Richard Rodgers TE- This is where the pundits beat the Packers up. There wasn't much available on the board and I have a feeling the Packers knew a team or two had their eyes on him. I like the kids body control and his hands. He's got limited time as a receiving TE due to the college coach switch. I think he'll do well with AR 12 if he works hard. He has the talents and measurables.
4. Carl Bradford OLB- I love the value here for the Packers. I'm unsure what they'll do with him as some think he can play inside in the He's a high motor guy that at worst case gives GB depth outside.
5. Corey Linsley- This is another good value pick at what could be a position of need. He needs work in pass pro but he is a mauler in the run game. He'll battle with Tretter for the starting Center spot next year IMO.
5. Jared Abbrederis- This was another great value pick as many thought he was a 3rd rounder. He's a guy that absolutely handed 1st round pick Bradley Roby, his arse. He's not the fastest guy but he's a precise route runner and tremendous worker. I think Rodgers will love this kid.
6. Demetri Goodson CB- He's a gy that missed a ton of time at Baylor due to injuries. He has the measurable of a NFL CB and Green Bay has had tremendous luck with CBs like him. I think he's going to have a hard time making the roster this year with Green Bay's quality depth at CB but if he does he could be a steal for the Packers.
7. Jeff Janis WR- Another great value pick. He was rated as the second best athlete among WRs in this draft class. Didn't play a whole lot of high level competition and has small hands for a WR. With all 3 of Green Bay's WRs being FA or FRA next year I like this pick.

I'd have liked to see an ILB or more beef on the defensive front but overall I love the value they got with some of these picks. I like the draft.

Tremendous first post

Yes, great first post. I think GB was preparing to lose two of their WR's. Free agency has been very kind to wide receivers in recent seasons, and I would expect them to lose some talent they've built up because you can't keep them all and fill other needs. Very great draft from that regard, and also taking Clinton-Dix with the first pick. They have to be happy he fell to them.

I have a problem with your post.

I'd give it a B-B+.

Just give them a B.

I don't agree about WR contracts as I think they've been very affordable the last 2 years. Greg Jennings lost money on the open market. Eric Decker, who is younger than Jordy and is comparable in performances is playing for 15 million guaranteed and 7 1/4 million per year. I don't think there is even a minuscule chance that they lose both Cobb and Nelson. They've got a ton of cap space still available and their core players are already secured to long term deals. The only core players that will be scheduled to be FA next year are the two WRs and maybe Tyrone Williams, who will be 32. I could see one or both of them extended before the start of the season as they can afford to dump a plethora of money from this year's cap into their 1st year's number. Green Bay's cap management has been superb. They may lose one of them (possibly Jordy by choice because of his age like they lost Jennings and Jones) but I don't think Thompson lets them both walk. One will be franchised before that occurs.

I was not a fan of the Redskins draft at all.

Trent Murphy- There was a ton of talent left on the board that could have provided immediate help and filled starting spots but we took a high motor backup OLB instead. The only way this pick makes sense to me is if they are serious about the possibility of Murphy sliding inside.

Morgan Moses- I like Moses but I think he's a product of the pre draft hype machine. I don't know if he's capable of playing RT.

Spencer Long- Hated the pick at first until I looked into it more. Initially was upset that we took Long over some of the more well known guard prospects but Long realistically is a better fit for what the Redskins are trying to accomplish

Breshaud Breeland- Loved this pick. He's the kind of guy you can place anywhere in the secondary.

Ryan Grant- Productive player who was drafted into a crowded WR situation. Probably a better route runner than most of the guys currently on the roster though. Probably tops out as a Jason Avant kind of player who can move the chains on 3rd down.

Lache Seastrunk- Can't argue that he's great value here but I'm not sure the Redskins needed him here. I can see there may be a need for a 3rd down back but he played in a system that completely hid any and all abilities that a 3rd round back needs to possess. Can he block? Can he catch? We don't really know.

Ted Bolser- I think I was the only one here who had been saying the Redskins needed to draft a TE at some point. However I felt they needed to get more of an inline blocker than Bolser.

Zach Hocker- Did the Redskins needed a kicker? Yes. Kai Forbath is a solid placekicker but he's among the league's worst in touchbacks. This team's defense isn't built to consistently give up solid field possession on every kickoff. Hocker will probably make the team as a kickoff guy but do those guys warrant draft selections?

Overall I give the draft a C- mainly because I appreciated seeing the effort made to acquire more picks in the draft

Seastrunk had more drops (10) than catches (9) in his Baylor career.
