Self Evaluation for 2012 draft:

1st Round - WR - Justin Blackmon - Grade: B-
The pick itself isn't terrible. Blackmon had a reasonably productive rookie season with a pretty bad QB play. If he keeps his head on straight and stays healthy, he should be a 1,000 yard guy pretty easily in the future.

But the opportunity cost on this pick is huge. Provo is thin at LB, and Wagner should have been the pick here. Poor research and draft board organization.

2nd Round - G - Kevin Zeitler - Grade: B
Nothing sexy about this pick, but my hands were pretty much tied. I'm going into 2012 with one healthy guard, and there was a solid 16 game starter left on the board. There was certainly better talent on the board, but I had to fill that gaping hole.

3rd Round - CB - DeQuan Menzie - Grade:
What a dumpster fire this pick was. I threw Menzie on my board to remind me to take a late round flier on him if talent was running thin, and I guess I never moved him down. I didn't think there was any way we were getting to my pick while I was unavailable Friday morning, so I didn't spend time arranging my board Thursday night. Boy, was I wrong. If I wasn't owner-GM, someone would have fired my ass.

4th Round - DT - Billy Winn - Grade: C-
I just didn't have the time to research this pick that I needed. Winn played pretty well last year, but I still drafted a backup 3-4 DE to play in the 4-3. There had to be better options out there for me here.

5th Round - DE - Olivier Vernon - Grade: B
He had 3.5 sacks in 2012 as a backup. Not going to see increased playing time with Jordan in the fold now, but I think he's got potential if someone gets injured or moved.

6th Round - FB - Evan Rodriguez - Grade: B
Another pretty boring pick, but Rodriguez played relatively well in 2012. It's an immediate upgrade to my current roster (at least for the 2012 season) so I consider that a successful 6th rounder.

7th Round - CB - Coty Sensabaugh - Grade: B+
Decent Nickel option, and I think there's a lot of value here for a 7th rounder.
