Good value and definitely fills a need. Had considered him for the niners' pick in the 4th.4.04 Bengals select Daniel Thomas - RB - Kansas StateBernard Scott is the only running back that isn't a free agent and Cincinnati had Thomas in for a workout.
Are you still drafting for Tampa?'Kirby said:Want me to take Cinci's?
This was my guy...and I don't even like Thomas very much. Shocked he fell.4.04 Bengals select Daniel Thomas - RB - Kansas StateBernard Scott is the only running back that isn't a free agent and Cincinnati had Thomas in for a workout.

I say I have a pick ready for Green Bay when it's Green Bay's turn.I say Green Bay takes Brandon Burton, CB Utah and move on with it.

I regretted this pick right after I made it. Oline is the biggest need, and I got stuck when all of the top Oline prospects along with the DTackle prospects were taken. I should have gone Marvin Austin, but at the time I was reading out dated info that had Austin as a mid to late 2nd round prospect. Austin would and should have been my pick. I love Wilson, but the bears would be looking a Strong LB, and Wilson fits the Middle/Weakside LB. They won't be looking to fill Urlacher or Briggs spots for another year or two.I agree with the grade and was not happy with my pick right after I made it. Most likely should have traded back or taken Marvin Austin.29.Chicago Bears (Grimace59) - Akeem Ayers (OLB, UCLA) D+ With huge DT and corner needs I don't think a linebacker is a good pick here at all. Plus I prefer Martez Wilson and Mason Foster to Ayers.
Mmmkay. I put out my draft grades and got a few comments so I feel I can make one comment on this set of grades of first round picks.The pick of A.J. Green earns the second lowest grade of the first round by this grader and I don't believe that Eakfootball truly believes that Green is the second worst pick of the first round. I certainly don't so I can't agree with the grade given to Carolina for selecting A.J. Green with the first pick.I'l give some grades pick by pick
1.Carolina Panthers (Donsmith753) - A.J. Green (WR, Georgia) C I don't think a reciever can be taken in the top spot.
2.Denver Broncos (BusMan) - Marcell Dareus (DT, Alabama)B+ Dareus is a very good player, but I don't think he changes an entire defense.
3.Buffalo Bills (Mr. Peterson) - Cam Newton (QB, Auburn) B+ A potential franchise quarterback in a good situation for him. But the risks prevent an A.
4.Cincinnati Bengals (comet909) - Patrick Peterson (CB, LSU) B Great player, but I'm not sure you can pass up Gabbert, unless you want Jordan Palmer starting.
5.Arizona Cardinals (Andy Dufresne) - Von Miller (LB, Texas A&M) B Again another great player, but Gabbert is hard to pass up here.
6.Tennessee Titans (shader) - Blaine Gabbert (QB, Missouri) A Good value for the titans who desperatly need a QB.
7.San Francisco 49ers (chinawildman) - Julio Jones (WR, Alabama) B Hmmmm. Interesting pick, but I just don't think it is a position of need.
8.Cleveland Browns (gandalas) - Nick Fairley (DT, Auburn) A- I like the value here. Fairly remindes me of Haynesworth in a lot of ways, before he got to DC.
9.Dallas Cowboys (asn4play) - Tyron Smith (OT, USC) B+ Very solid pick. I would hope that Smith plays on the left and Free moves back to the right.
10.Washington Redskins (matttyl) - Robert Quinn (DE, North Carolina) A Great pick here, with Jones off the board this was by far the best player for the skins.
11.Houston Texans (Yellow Line is Unoffcial) - Da'Quan Bowers (DE, Clemson)C I like Bowers, but I dont think you can pass up Prince. And he dosnt fit great here.
12.Minnesota Vikings (Andy Dufresne) - Jake Locker (QB, Washington) C+ Vikes need a quarterback, but a trade down would have been nice here, then get a QB later.
13.Detroit Lions (eakfootball) - Prince Amukamara (CB, Nebraska) A Best player availible fills a need. But I may be a bit biased.
14.St. Louis Rams (Blackjack) - Cameron Jordan (DE, California) B+ I would have taken Liuget, but I can't argue against Jordan.
15.Miami Dolphins (Dolfan) - Mike Pouncey (OL, Florida) C+ It is a reach, but if they let him go he would not have made it past 20. I think if he is not a Pouncey he would be a 2nd round pick.
16.Jacksonville Jaguars (CompetitiveEdgeFootball) - Aldon Smith (DE, Missouri)B Decent pick, but I think Kerrigan is a much better fit in Jacksonville.
17.New England Patriots (Tackling Dummies) - J. J. Watt (DE, Wisconsin) A- Exactly what the pats need.
18.San Diego Chargers ( KeeferMan) - Anthony Castanzo (OT, Boston College) A Great pick since Jordan and Watt are gone.
19.New York Giants (J Andersson) - Gabe Carimi (OT, Wisconsin) B I think Solder would have been better here since Carimi is strickly a RT. But I like the pick.
20.Tampa Bay Buccaneers(Kirby) - Ryan Kerrigan (DE, Purdue) A Love this pick. Good value at a position of need.
21.Kansas City Chiefs ( KCitons) - Phil Taylor (NT, Baylor) C I don't like Taylor and it is a reach. But the shortage of NTs prevents a C- or D+.
22.Indianapolis Colts (Cipherchris) - Corey Liuget (DT, Illinois) A+ I hate the colts but this is tremendous value. Solder is not a fit for the colts since he will need time to develop and Manning's window is closing.
23.Philadelphia Eagles (JetMaxx) - Nate Solder (OT, Colorado) B High upside player in a position of need. But Jimmy Smith is hard to pass up here.
24.New Orleans Saints (adrenaline ) - Muhammad Wilkerson (DL, Temple) A- Nice value at 26. Wilkerson is a beast, but I would have liked an end here.
25.Seattle Seahawks (bleachercreacher) - Jimmy Smith (CB, Colorado) A- Nice risk/reward pick. I don't think Smith falls here in the real draft.
26.Baltimore Ravens (gerome ) - Derrick Sherrod (OT, Mississippi State) C+ I'm not a big fan of Sherrod, and I think a corner or reciever would fill more need.
27.Atlanta Falcons (No Way Jose) - Mark Ingram (RB, Alabama) B I like this pick, but an end or wide out would have been helpful. Quality backs are always availible in the mid rounds.
28.New England Patriots (Tackling Dummies) - Benjamin Ijalana (OT, Villanova) B- As a pats fan I would have prefered Danny Watkins at guard here.
29.Chicago Bears (Grimace59) - Akeem Ayers (OLB, UCLA) D+ With huge DT and corner needs I don't think a linebacker is a good pick here at all. Plus I prefer Martez Wilson and Mason Foster to Ayers.
30.San Diego Chargers ( KeeferMan) - Adrian Clayborn (DE, Iowa) B+ Decent pick, but he fits better in a 4-3. I don't know why the Jets did'nt stay to get Jabaal Sheard.
31.Pittsburgh Steelers (BigSteelThrill) - Brandon Harris (CB, Miami) B I like that they took a corner, but Watkins would have looked real good here.
32.Green Bay Packers (fatkid) - Justin Houston (OLB, Georgia) C+ I like the position but not they player. Sheard and Brooks Reed would have been better.
While I like Green I just don't think that he is Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson type wide reciever. Even though Larry has been arguably the best wideout in the league since he was drafted, I think we all agree the cards would be better off with Phillip Rivers or Ben Roethlisburger. A.J. Green will give a franchise 2 or 3 extra wins a year, and Marcell Dareus will boast the win total by 1 or 2.While if Blaine Gabbert becomes a franchise quarterback he will add 6 to 8 extra wins a year and make the Panthers a contender. Even if Gabbert has a 20% bust chance, I think its a risk you have to take. You can't sit around and wait to get Andrew Luck because the front office and coaching staff will not have that in mind since they may lose their jobs if they pick #1 again. Say the Panthers do pass up Gabbert (or Newton who is looking more and more like the pick) and take an A.J. Green, Patrick Peterson, or Marcell Dareus, they are a good enough team to end up picking in the 5-10 range and not have a shot at a franchise quarterback. Jimmy Clausen is alright, but I don't think you will ever get past 7-9 with him unless he has a spectacular team around him.Mmmkay. I put out my draft grades and got a few comments so I feel I can make one comment on this set of grades of first round picks.The pick of A.J. Green earns the second lowest grade of the first round by this grader and I don't believe that Eakfootball truly believes that Green is the second worst pick of the first round. I certainly don't so I can't agree with the grade given to Carolina for selecting A.J. Green with the first pick. I gave the Panthers an A for the pick based on the talent acquired but pointed out that only two WRs have been taken #1 so I doubt that Green would go there but I graded on the value of the player acquired.I have already provided my grades for the first three rounds and explained my grades. I won't come down hard on Eak but I stand by how I graded the first three rounds.
I like this pick.4.10 Detroit selects Delone Carter-RB-Syracuse
Nice complement to Best and Smith, gives them a power back with good feet and quickness.
Even nicer because Smith is all but done in Detroit.4.10 Detroit selects Delone Carter-RB-Syracuse
Nice complement to Best and Smith, gives them a power back with good feet and quickness.
If that explains why you gave A.J. Green pick a C then I find it difficult to use that same logic to explain why you gave Julio Jones a full letter grade higher a few picks later.While I like Green I just don't think that he is Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson type wide reciever.

Agreed, can someone just make a pick for the Titans. I've already been asked to pick for the cowboys.With their fourth round pick the New York Giants pick Phil Simms just to keep him out of the National media spotlight (Ryan Mallett is a godsend and if he's not a top 15 pick Simms will quit - god forbid)!On a serious note let's up the pace a bit. This is getting extremely slow...

sorrypick on the wayblackjacks pm'd a pick to me but it's a guy that's already been picked. Waiting on answer from him.
Dude, Cannon went like weeks ago... 3 strikes and you're out!STL Rams 4th round pick Marcus Cannon TCU RG3 year starter and this guy is huge. Should be able to move inside and dominate. We took care of the tackles in the last couple of drafts but now we get allittle depth inside. Also has the versitility to move outside if needed (played tackle in college). We need to protect Bradford if he is going to be pass happy in McDaniels offense.

I must have just missed that.
