Round 1, Pick 13 (13) (From 49ers through Broncos) Brandon Graham DE 6'1" 268 Michigan

A+. Thanks for coming.

[bigbluedefense]

Getting Graham alone makes me score their draft high, bc I'm a huge Brandon Graham fan. He was my favorite DE in the draft.


I like the Nate Allen pick. I don't think he'll ever be a stud, but he'll always be a solid solid FS who is a notch below PB caliber. I like the gamble on Lindley, he was worth the risk.

I like Kafka as a sleeper.

Not particularly thrilled with the rest of it. They had a ton of picks, so some of those late rounders should bloom, but I'm iffy on a lot of em. Surprised they passed on some olinemen. Their CB situation isn't too great either, they passed on an opportunity to land some quality CBs in this draft.

I know they got Ernie Simms cheap, but I'm not a Simms fan either.

I'm gonna give them a B. I think they hit pretty big on their 1st pick, and were solid throughout the rest of the draft. But I don't know if a lot of these guys will pan out or not.

Love Graham though. Those bastards.

I look back at some of their moves, like giving away Sheldon Brown, and Weatherspoon, and I wonder if they'll kick themselves for those moves in the future. Was losing Sheldon this year really worth a 5th? Is Simms really worth more than Spoon? I don't think so. I disagree with those 2 moves.

[brat316]

ahaahhh we are still doing this?

I feet as though it has been more than 32 days

[RaiderNation]

Very solid draft here. Chaney in the 7th surprised me alot. Overall I give it a B

[nepg]

I gave it an A because I think the first 4 picks are complete money. Everything after was just very sweet icing.

[FlyingElvis]

Love it, start to finish. I think Harbor, Sapp & Chaney will be late(ish) round gems.

[Rosebud]

Some great picks, with some trade backs and gambles that I don't think will pay off. I gave it an A because I see 6 guys who'll contribute to the team in some capacity. But I do feel like their were some picks that could've helped more which is why that A would be an A- as this was one of those very good but not epically ******* great true A's.

[onejayhawk]

I am less thrilled with Graham than many. That being said, I would love to have him. I just do not expect a Pro Bowl future, which is what you want from a top 20 pick. Allen was a reach in round 2, but not a bad one. That pretty much defines the draft. No one player is a mistake, but no one player looks like a steal, unless Sapp turns things around.

There is a lot of good depth here, and a couple of starters, but I would prefer the Bills draft, or worse, Dallas.

Your expectations are rather terrible, then. Brandon Graham will make 84 Pro Bowls.

[Brothgar]

I'm very big on the first two picks then the third day was big for them

[therock6000]

Not a ton of "wow" in their draft, but solid nonetheless. I would give them a B- if it was an option, but its not...so straight up B.

[LizardState]

Voted C for average, I agree with rock it's a wowless draft. With 14 players taken they should have acquired a better talent pool than they did.

It would have been lower without Graham who was such a red hot prospect at DE they couldn't pass him up.

Kafka is their most interesting draftee b/c of McNabb's departure, letting him go to save big $ was classic penny wise & pound foolish imo, they're taking a major gamble with former #1 pick Kolb & that pressure rolls downhill from him on to Vick, who has those ??? hovering around him as always, & now Kafka who's listed as the 3rd string QB. If Kolb can't win or goes down, there will be hell to pay, the offense is the big reason they're predicted to finish 4th in the division.

Maybe they thought the throw enough mud at a fence & some of it will stick approach would work with all that moving around through the middle rounds & getting 14 players. Biggest shock for me on draft day was the Eagles soliciting Dallas for a trade & the Cowboys going with it.
