Questionable move: Passing on taking a quarterback for the future at some point. Donovan McNabb can't play forever.
Third-day gem: Fourth-round pick Perry Riley is a linebacker who could be in the mix inside in the new 3-4 scheme. Riley was an active player at LSU.
Analysis: I like the pick of Williams in the first round and getting McNabb for the second-round pick is stealing. If you factor in the McNabb trade, they had a nice draft.
Grade: B-

Hard to disagree w/ this analysis. I actually am inclined to give the FO an A because I think had we traded back the oline situation would be far more tenuous for the season. Of course, this assumes TW is the real deal and basically has a Chris Samuels type of career (btw i think it's fantastic Chris is there as coach/mentor), but anyway the main idea is there were only a few franchise LT prospects this year and I believe they were gone by the middle of the 1st round, with Baluga going to SF. Beyond TW and Okung tho it seemed like a pretty big drop off in talent.
