Overall draft grade

[celts32]

I went "C"

I give an "A" for Rogers since it filled a need and he was a good value at the spot. I preferred Mike Williams at this pick but I won't fault them for passing on him to fill another big need.

As for Campbell, I give this pick an "F". A 6-10 team with Santana Moss & David Patten as it's starting WR's does not have the luxery of taking a QB for 3 years down the road. The better pick would have been WR Roddie White or one of the D-lineman left.

An A & F average into a C as a final grade...

Jus to add to my previous grades, I did like the McCune pick allot. He looks like a beast and it's a position of need. I would rasie my grade to a C+ if it were an option but not up to a B.

I'm hearing that Campbell will be groomed to start in '06, as they(front office) hope Ramsey will be motivated to play hard this season as better trade bait, so they can move him easier.

Like it or not the talent scouts for Washington saw something in Campbell that lit the bulb over their heads & they just could not let him pass.

See this is a bonehead move on part of our FO if that is what they are planning. I would not have minded the draft pick if the price was not too steep. we paid a huge price.
Also from palyers standpoint, they have to be wondering about this move. How are they to trust a coach or FO if they say something and do the complete opposite of it. Now does it surprise anybody that Coles left and Arrington was ranting about our organization
