1. OT Simmons - It's either an F or an A. We'll see if Veach's brass balls shine or tarnish on this one.

2. DT Norman-Lott - I'd give it a C. It's a huge gamble on inexperience and size/length for sure.

3. DE Gillotte - I actually love this pick, A.

3. CB Williams - I'll give it a B-. I like the player, didn't feel the need to take a CB here. Would have stood pat at 95, saved my 4th next year, and taken one of the RBs that went early 4, preferably Sampson or Etienne.

4. WR Royals - Definite A, bona fide steal

5. LB Bassa - Definite A, another steal

7. RB Smith - I'll give a B-, because I like the player and the slotting, but I feel like he's kind of going to be, primarily, a tell to the defense. He can't pass block yet, and he's not going to pound anything up the middle. It's not relative to the grade, but I think Veach could have stolen a DB like Korie Black and made this another A if he went RB in 3.

Day 3 really helped offset what I felt were some head-scratching moves on days 1 and 2, so the overall grade gets inflated. Overall, I have it at a B- for now, with the opportunity to be a B+ or A- if Simmons and Lott pan out as they hope.

Agree except for Norman-Lott. Dude has that killer look to him. Something to prove.


And I'm in for Royals just for the duel jersey.
