That 2009 draft was probably the worst in team history.

2010 (Pioli's best draft) only gave him a B for it.

2011 is a C-

all the others pretty much suck

I think it's important to grade relative to their draft spot. For instance, more weight should be given to a player drafted high that underperforms. Same with a player drafted low that overachieves relative to his position.

I'm not gonna do 2012. Too early to tell...

2011

1. Jonathan Baldwin D- (I don't know if he sucks or if Cassel refuses to look his way)
2. Rodney Hudson C (decidedly average)
3. Justin Houston B+ (looking pretty good thus far)
3. Allen Bailey D+ (meh)
4. Jalil Brown C (been okay considering he was a 4th rounder)
5. Ricky Stanzi F (what's the point?)
5. Gabe Miller F (who?)
6. Jerrell Powe C- (not awful)
7. Shane Bannon F (nope)

2010

1 Eric Berry C- (had one good year, got injured, having sub-par sophomore year)
2 Dexter McCluster D- (either he sucks or the coaching staff is awful)
2 Javier Arenas D (bad fulltime CB, not an atrocious nickel, not great on returns)
3 Jon Asamoah B (solid lineman for a 3rd rounder)
3 Tony Moeaki C (see Eric Berry)
5 Kendrick Lewis C (having a bad year but doesn't look to be awful overall)
5 Cameron Sheffield F (facepalm)

2009

1 Tyson Jackson F (there is no bigger failure than this pick right here)
2. Cassel D- (only thing that didn't make this an F was his one decent season)
3 Alex Magee F (bad pick)
4 Donald Washington F (furk)
5 Colin Brown F (again, furk)
6 Quinten Lawrence F (poop)
7 Javarris Williams F (peanut)
7 Jake O'Connell D (for a 7th rounder...well, whatever)
7 Ryan Succop B+ (kickers are kind of a dime a dozen, but he's been solid)

If you were to assign a GPA, it would grade out to a 1.08 on a 4.0 scale.

Pitiful.

[TrueFanDave]

I see Houston is being overrated a bit.

Maybe a B. Way too soon to give him an A at this point.

Probably but he's the only impact player from Pioli's drafts combined IMO.

[chiefzilla1501]

Yeah, people are a little rough. You shouldn't expect to draft pro bowlers in the late rounds


2012

1. Dontari Poe - A (I know... I know....)
2. Jeff Allen - C (Not a bad pick. But you can't pass on a QB)
3. Donald Stephenson - Wait and see
4. Devon Wylie - Wait and see
5. DeQuan Menzie - C-
6. Cyrus Gray - A
7. Jerome Long - D
7. Junior Hemingway - Wait and see


2011

1. Jonathan Baldwin - C+
2. Rodney Hudson - B
3. Justin Houston - A+
3. Allen Bailey - B
4. Jalil Brown - C+
5. Ricky Stanzi - A-
5. Gabe Miller - F
6. Jerrell Powe - A
7. Shane Bannon - F

2010

1 Eric Berry - B+
2 Dexter McCluster - C+ (still a wait and see for me)
2 Javier Arenas - B-
3 Jon Asamoah - A-
3 Tony Moeaki - B
5 Kendrick Lewis - A- (for a 5th rounder, he's a great pick)
5 Cameron Sheffield - D

2009

1 Tyson Jackson - C+
2. **** You Pioli - Z+

i based Pioli's grade on these ****ups:
A second rounder for Cassole,

TJ pick was a terrible pick

Eric Berry looks like shit compared to Earl Thomas

and Poe was a terrible choice.

5. Ricky Stanzi - A-

There it is...

2nd year player with like 5 ACTIVE games under his belt.

What a ****ing waste... and he gets an A-!

I should have bumped TJ down to a D. He hasn't been a disaster, but that's not nearly good enough for a 3rd pick.

I don't care about the Berry choice. We all wanted it and I think hindsight is 20/20 if we criticize the pick now. I still think he can improve with better coaching.

Poe was a terrific pick, in my opinion. It's the gamble Pioli has refused to make. But too little too late. He plays a position of high positional value. And he has a very unique skill set. That's better than all the safe picks Pioli has continued to make. With better coaching, Poe has the upside to be a Vince Wilfork type guy, which I'd take in an absolute heartbeat.

He was a good project QB. Taking him in the 5th was a very good value.
