Your grade of each individual pick in our draft.

I am still of the opinion that a draft can't be graded for 3 seasons.

I dunno..he's enormous. Easily the biggest guy on our roster, and he's smart and has a mean streak. I think everyone is just pissed on the round he was drafted in, and not the actual pick. If we take him in the 6th round,or with any of our 3 7th rounders I don't think anyone is complaining.

It's just the general consensus that there were a ton of "better" options available at the time. In all honesty, it's a 5th round pick FFS. It doesn't matter who you pick up in the 5th, they're pretty much gonna flame out the majority of the time.

Anything past round 3 is pretty much a gamble.

This is absolutely false.

Bad teams don't do a good job of drafting beyond the first three rounds.

Good teams do it every single draft. Whether it's the Eagles, Giants, Ravens, Patriots or Steelers, every one of those teams draft extremely well throughout the entire draft and is the main reason why those teams vie for championships each and every year.

Shitty teams like the Raiders, Chiefs, Lions, etc. continually draft poorly or don't make good use of the draft (i.e. via trades, etc.).

There was a times when the NFL draft extended through 8 rounds and even 12 rounds. UDFA's are extremely important as well.

Really people are pissed because the Chiefs took a guy in the 5th who they could have signed as a rookie Free Agent instead. There was still some good players at that spot we could of had instead...

Nobody really knows who would fall and who wouldn't. A day after the Raiders took their 2nd round pick that Kiper and everyone else said was a 7th rounder or UDFA, the news broke that Chicago was on the phone telling the kid they were going to take him in the 2nd.

Later in the week during a draft wrap up show, Kiper said that Chicago is denying they ever told the kid they would take him in the second and said they had planned on looking at him in the 5th. May be damage control - who knows?
