CBS draft grades.

[KansasBronco]

KC got the lowest with a C-. We didn't have a first round pick and still got a C. I think it's better than that the more I study it. You have to figure we got a 1st and 4th round pick along with a 3rd this year just for giving up the number 25 pick. That alone makes that C a B in my opinion. Oakland and SD both had A's. Great read!

KC got a C-? WTF. KC got a straight A. Best LB in the draft, very underrated WR, good ILB prospect. C-? CBS is snorting something.

[Mile High Shack]

they were generous to give us a C

I'd give us an F+

I still fail to see the value in these picks when you look at our roster and I'm not drinking the kool aid that the rest of the homers are

Ha, niiiice.

I'm not sure i've ever seen you like one thing the Broncos have done.

New England Patriots
Best pick: First-round pick Logan Mankins will push for time as a rookie at guard. He's a typical Patriots quality pick.

Questionable move: Third-round pick Ellis Hobbs is a smallish corner, but it's hard to question this team when it comes to picking defensive backs.

Steal: Fourth-round pick James Sanders is a ball-hawking safety who can be groomed for the future.

Overall grade: B. They had a sound draft. Isn't that the New England way?



Even though I pointed out that many of their picks are reaches by SI's ranking.

looking at their history compared to ours with Belichek, how can you really question him

you look at our history of drafting corners and well.........

[Drek]

Damn, that guy's an idiot. The Chefs get a C- because he "doesn't like how Derrick Johnson plays". He then goes on to call Lofa Tatupu, a guy I actually personally know and like, the Seahawks best pick in the 2nd round, despite him being a significant overdraft. Clueless.

It's pretty rare...

Sheesh has the nerve to say Myers a 6th rounder is our best pick?

how long have you known me?

I liked the trade with the Skins

I've liked many things

but to question my loyalty

whatever

[TheManeMan]

2 Fresno St players for the Pats...

Drafting players that were coached by Pat Hill is a great idea...I'm sure BB will get 110% from them...

[Dr. Broncenstein]

The Chorfs draft gets a B just for DJ landing in their laps.... even Peterson couldn't **** that one up.

I'm talking about solid moves, not gambles all the time.

this draft tore it for me......I think like someone else has said, it seems like he wants to get fired

you are something else man.

[Saulbadguy]

Questionable move: With so many needs on defense, how in the heck can the Chiefs use a second-round pick on a punter? There's always risk there when taking a punter or kicker this high.


Um..it was a late 3rd rounder.

Prisco is a moron.

No one is questioning your loyalty... You just have a pessimistic nature. You're not the only one.

I said I don't think _IVE_ ever seen you like a move the Broncos have done. With a smile face after it showing I meant no harm.

You got all bent out of shape snapping back about me questioning your loyalty.... Was that really needed? Obviously I don't know who you are and only going off the few posts I remember from you.

what have we done since 1998 that would lead to me being pessimistic?

I hate the moves we did in the draft sans the trade.

Every year I predict a winning record....except for this year.

If I was a telluride, I'd pick us to lose every year.

I'm sick of Shanny playing Mike the blackjack player and gambling every year.

Go read the article in the denver post about pat bowlen staying hands off in the draft and everthing else and shanny doesn't have to worry about getting fired because he is there as long as he wants too. Go broncos in 2005 and lets get the afc west title back where it belongs.

I already said he will never get fired

[DB-Freak]

MHS was a pretty big homer up until this season .

Around til middle/end of the season........

But thats when a lot of people turned their heads.

Not necessarily. If you rate on who is going to be playing soon within the system they were drafted in, then "gradings" have to be made accordingly. I am not happy with the draft this year, but that's because I was interested in a draft that attacked the Os and Ds of the chievies, the faides and the chuggers. What I think the Brain Trust did was draft special team players who had a second "skill" or position they could contribute. I am not gonna repeat what many have already said, except to say that from a fan standpoint, thi swas a damm boring draft for the Broncos. maybe it will pan out to some degree and we will see some different starting field positions.

Given that, I don't know how anyone could determine whether this was or was not a decent draft. We'll know more in late August, early September.

And there are the June 1 releases yet to come. I was initally very discouraged, still am to a lesser degree. But I remember so many peopl ehere saying that this draft pool was just so-so.

I actually think that the Clarett sighing was a Turner signing, and that's okay with me. Bobby says that's a good pick, then I go with that judgment. REally doesn't matter what anyone else says, since they have not a clue as to how that pick will work out either.

So, the "C" grade is okay.

The KC grade is probalby accurate. I remember reading elsewhere that Johnson was not a good value for the first round. Well, we will get a chance to see, won't we?
