And Doughty would probably have seen significant ST playing time, barring his injury.
So my questions are:
What type of production would it take to get an average grade from you?
Do you say 6 pro-bowlers out of 6 picks is an A+?
Or that an average draft should have 3 pro-bowlers out of 6 picks?

Good Questions!
It was a tough choice between a C and D+. If doughty was a better special teams player I would've rated the draft a C.
Average grade: First round pick is a solid player that is one of the better players at his position, Not a probowler but a solid player. second pick is a solid player that could start for most teams. 3rd round pick is a solid player that fits into your scheme. Maybe not a starter on all teams but has a role on your team.
The second day picks are hit or miss. You would like to add depth and special teams players with 2nd day picks.
To me that gets an average grade.
If any of the players make the probowl, I would bump the grade to a 'B'. If a second day player makes the probowl, I would make it an instant 'A'. You got quality with your first day picks but added a great pick with the second day choices.
3 Probowlers no matter how many ppicks is a great draft. A+
6 Probowl players is not realistic.
The 2004 Taylor Cooley draft was a 'A+'.
I would even rank the Landry draft as a C+ just because we got one probowl quality player and not much else.
