Grade the 2010 draft

[GTripp0012]

C+, perhaps B-. I think my main criticism at the time was that Okung > T. Williams, which through their careers to date, they've been practical equals, maybe slight edge to Okung.

Riley was a good find in round four. And the McNabb trade hangs over this draft like a dark cloud.

Okung had the glorified collegiate career where as Trent had the athletic ability to break through in a ZBS.

The only thing we know now is that Mike Shanahan knows what he's doing.

No way.

Trent is the best LT!

On a serious note, other than maybe Matt Kalil. I wouldn't trade Trent for any LT in the league.

They did pretty good with what they had to work, I'd say a B as well. If you consider the McNabb trade as being busted picks, maybe drops to a C.

[RGIII]

With what they were working with I'd give them a B-.

Agree wholeheartedly. As long as TW lays off the weed now, the Skins nailed the first pick. Riley's not a star but at least he's a starter. The rest... meh. Good not a great draft. I don't think counting the McNabb trade with the draft is fair, though certainly the trade itself was a "F".

I think if you hit better than 50/50 on your high picks, and pick up an eventual starter or two after that, you have a good draft. It's harder than it seems when you look even at the teams that are known to draft well. Old Patriots, Packers, Steelers, Jerry Reese's Giants *spit*.

Dallas had 12 picks in 2009, zero which are on their team now, and only 3 are still in the league. I'd say compared to that, this draft is an A++........

I give it a c. One player is becoming an elite player. One is a solid starter. The rest of it was garbage.

I don't get the low grades for this draft. Our first two picks garnered one elite player and one solid starter. The rest of the picks were in rounds 6 and 7 - those are garbage rounds. You generally don't expect much more than warm bodies there. I give us a solid B.

I've had a very busy weekend and have not seen much about our draft. With that said why did we draft two RB's?

Because we only have one

Lol, I do. He had this super intense youtube highlight tape. Turns out our initial WTF reaction was justified.


Ironically enough we traded him to the Rams for an undisclosed draft pick.
