Little tidbit of info. Nicholson was recruited by our DB coach Gray when he coached at VT. Thinks highly of him. Can probably coach him up quick.

Give the draft a B+. Would of liked Williams over Anderson but both are great football players.

Nice theme is we are starting to get guys who will punch you in the mouth on defense.

Anderson
Norman
Moreau
Allen
Brown

Something we have lacked forever.

I've come to appreciate PFF's work more than I once did. Although I agree with you that the short-term grades they do are shit, I think they are able to uncover much of the truth in their long-term grades.

The short-term stuff they do is just to keep up people's interest by having a product to sell during the season. An analysis that is quickly and sloppily thrown together to rank players on a game-by-game basis doesn't work.

I like the fact that, in their grading, reputation and measurements don't taint he process. It's all about how a player actually performs on the field. Yet, PFF is just one tool to use in evaluating a player. I think it's useful, at least as a cross-check.
