32. The Oakland Raiders. Jam rating F
Al Davis did it again.... with letting people go, not signing anyone in free agency then raping the draft makes Oakland more and more likely to be the laughing stock of the NFL once again. I mean really with the 7th overall pick in the draft there is so much potential in that pick. But instead of doing what every other owner in the NFL would have done.... Oakland chooses Darrius Heyword Bey WR out of Maryland. Why is this the worst pick I have seen in my 10 years of football? Easy, He was the 4th ranked WR. Crabtree, Jeremy Macklin, and Percy Harvin in front of him.... Heyword Bey was Honorable mention in the ACC let alone the NCAA, not to mention they could have traded that pick for 2-3 picks and some and still get their man, how could Al Davis pick him? simply because he had the best speed/height ratio. Forget scouting and draft boards, Al Davis draft board, clearly starts with Usain Bolt and works his way down to draft eligible players. This is why Oakland will never become a power house until Al Davis steps down or passes.
31. Buffalo Bills JAM rating D-
You received TO........but your QB is still Trent Edwards..... and after trading your Pro Bowl LT in Jason Peters, how do expect to keep him upright? Also your running game is set... until your O-Line falls apart on you with your 11th pick you choose a DE... I just don't understand your logic and I'm excited to watch you all finish last in the division for 2 years in a row, let alone the firing of Dick Jauron.
30. Dallas Cowboys Jam Rating D-
You let TO go... which is perfectly understandable, except for the fact your down to Roy Williams as your # 1. Not a problem though, well nothing your Franchise QB Tony Romo couldn't handle right? I' am real anxious to see him struggle when his o-shit button has been taken away from him.
The Boys didn't have a pick until the 3rd round, where they take an OLB to compliment Ware....... but the 2nd pick of an Tackle, when you are already set at that position kind of seems a little odd but fine. but with your first pick in the 4th round you pick up a QB? I don't understand Jerry Jones thinking here with little to no off season movement and mediocre draft for a "Superbowl Contender" you sure didn't show enough this off season to count yourself as a real contender.
29. Panthers Jam Rating D+
Little no help on the defence, drafted for the future, on a team who had a shot this year.
28. Browns Jam Rating D+
Drafting 2 WR, a Center and off season moves I don't think are going to be beneficial also... upsetting your star WR not always a good move.
27. 49ers Jam Rating D
Addition of Crabtree phenomenal.....but O'sullivan vs Alex Smith to determine who gets to throw..... not a good pick..... how about a ILB or some Safety's/Corner/OL.....
26. Tampa Bay. Jam Rating D
Really...... you sign Byron Leftwhich....... yet with 17th overall pick in the draft... you draft Josh Freeman a 5th QB to put on your roster.....
25. Dolphins Jam Rating C-
Drafting 2 CB's in the first 2 rounds..... a little Sketchy, but with The Big Tuna making the calls who can Argue??
24. Cincinnati Jam Rating C-
With 23 off the field problems resulting in over 15 arrests in the last 3 seasons.. I thought taking Alabama LT Andre Smith was a bit risky..... But I did like the acquisition of Rey Maualuga
23-13 are all C's they are ( In order)
23. Ravens
22.Chiefs
21.Texans
20. Jags
19.Sea hawks
18.Cards
17.Rams
16. Titans
15. Falcons
14. Saints
13. Chargers
12-10- all of my B grades......
Pittsburgh
New England
Indianapolis Colts.
I place these 3 here, due to the fact the did the same thing they do every year..... they have great GM's/Coaches/Presidents they draft players for there system, and no one can argue with the results.
12. Pittsburgh-
Didn't do a whole lot in the off season..... but in the draft picked some needs and some nice names.
11. New England-
To me it seems like they are drafting for next year.... but getting Joey Galloway to help a already prolific offence is scary enough to creep them into this spot, not to mention they acquire picks like the Bucs acquire QB's.
10. Indianapolis Colts-
in the off season, we lost a veteran WR, but unlike most I think it was time after watching him drop the ball untouched on the 11 yard line before 1/2 in the 07-08 playoffs against SD to take a 24-0 lead.. and because it was 17-0....they came back to beat us.
As for the Draft, I like what Indy did.... we got a RB (which i hope will replace Joseph Addai) in Donald Brown... also 2 300+lbs DT which we needed to go inside of Freeny Mathis... other then that we drafted roster fills and maybe "crosses fingers" a future QB in Purdue QB Curtis Painter.
9. NY football Giants Jam rating B+
They drafted needs and may have filled the spot of Plaxico Burres with Hakim Nicks. I think dropping Plax was decision that will benefit NY.
8. Washington Redskins Jam rating A-
With the biggest splash in the off season, the added DT Albert Haynesworth onto a defence I think will cause some havic next year. To add onto that defence, they also drafted Brian Orakpo to get to the QB. The only question to me on that team is the passing game, I don't think Jason Cambell is the answer but maybe Colt Brennan or Chase Daniels could battle for the spot.
7. Green Bay Packers Jam Rating A-
I think Green Bay made out like bandits in this years draft, not any notable off season movements but come draft day, getting BJ. RAJI a NT to complete the switch to the 3-4 and trading with the Pats to get a 2nd 1st round draft pick to pick up Clay Matthews a blitzing OLB should make for a fun team on both sides of the ball next year
6. Denver Broncos
I think Josh McDaniels knows what he wants and is going after it, after letting Jay Cutler go to Chicago, The Denver broncos have drafted a good RB in Knowshon Moreno also running the offence is Kyle Orton, who I believe will be able to find Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal all day. Denver used the pick they got from Chicago to get, Robert Ayers a ILB from Tennessee who might be able to command a defence with SOME talent.
5. J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS Jam Rating A-
causing the biggest splash in the draft to move 12 spots and receive QB Mark Sanchez who they hope will become the next Joe Namath. with only 16 starts in College, he has a lot of work to do before he can take the help but when he does, I have a feeling the Jets may have made out with one of the best players in the draft. I think Jets have a great shot with Sanchez at the helm THIS season, but we will see how much he works in this off season before i make predictions.
4. Vikings- jam Rating A
Minnesota drafted to win... they went Offence and added yet, another explosive player to an already explosive offence... With a QB obtained in the off season in Sage Rosenfels in Minn.... Bernard Berrian AP/CT now add Florida speedster Percy Harvin to the mix I think could cause some real havoc.
3. Detroit Lions! Jam Rating A
Wow... never thought I would have done this.. but getting a Franchise QB with the #1 overall pick, even more so when you got someone who would love nothing more than to throw it to Calvin Johnson every down. I also like the pick, of Brandon Pettigrew the best TE in the draft, he comes off blocks very well, I watched film on him on the NFL network and I wish he had fallen to Indy. can Block, and Catch. and as some speed, I am one of the few who think the Def changes they made as well/drafted will actually be able to win a few games this year!
2. Chicago Bears! Jam rating A+
Let me start off and say... Jay Cutler is a top 5 starting QB in the NFL -- Peyton, Tom, Drew, Phillip,Jay Picking him up was such a great move. With Orlando Pace, (old yes but i like older LT) Matt Forte, some good TE's and even some sometimes good receivers ( I am looking forward for Hester to fall in love with the long ball the year)
also, they met their DEF needs. They got Safety's and DLine crew members. I think this Chicago team will win 10+ games and will be a force this year.
My number 1 team this off season is .....
Philadelphia Eagles! Jam Rating A++
They had one of the best off seasons due to the fact they landed Peters the LT from Buffalo! now, McNabb with time , Deshawn Jackson, and Brian Westbrook, not to mention a new toy in WR Jeremy Maclin they got with the 19th pick. With a already threatening Defence run by future HOF D- Coach Jim Johnson. I think the off season moves the Eagles made have them being a preseason Super Bowl Contender in my book
