Look at the vote distribution.

From the bitchfest threads you'd think F would win in a landslide... Guess its just a vocal few.

Most of the people crying about this draft need to get over themselves.

So what if they didn't take the guys you wanted them to take....none of us have 10% of the information front offices have about these kids.

Coogs · 04-28-2012, 05:55 PM

I gave it a solid B for right now. It wasn't a sexy draft, but if the players we seclected pan out... look out!

WhitiE · 04-28-2012, 05:37 PM

A solid B in my mind, but wtf do I know?

**Predarat** · 04-28-2012, 05:37 PM

DTLB58 · 04-28-2012, 05:39 PM

B

Beside Poe every thing else is and needed to be about depth.

The OL picks weren't sexy and got everyone down early but the positions were a MUST.

If they would have traded down and picked up a few extra picks and got a ILB or pass rusher would have given them an A for sure.

StanziCityChiefs · 04-28-2012, 05:41 PM

B-/B dont really know about Poe yet but Im excited to see how he turns out. The two OL are good picks and will help Charles and put Cassel in the best position to win now. Wylie was a little odd and the safety is basically a depth pick, but anything is better than Jersey Shore. Gray and Hemmingway made me very happy.

**BossChief** · 04-28-2012, 05:42 PM

We still need a couple linebackers, but I like how we filled the other needs.

I think we all get a little trapped into the game of liking our crop of players we see as good fits for this team and therefore dislike the fact the team passes on our guys to take someone else, but I like the guys we drafted.

We took projects at positions we have solid coaching at (which should lessen the bust factor) and took some other guys that should make an impact fairly quickly at positions of need.

O.city · 04-28-2012, 05:43 PM

Not any flashy picks, which will get this draft graded pretty low.

But it's really what we needed at this point. There were a few picks that I thought could and should have went other ways, but the guys that I wanted at that pick fell even further so obviously something was wrong with them.

**Gadzooks** · 04-28-2012, 05:44 PM

Why is A+++ not an option... Poll fail.

**TimeForWasp** · 04-28-2012, 05:46 PM

Good draft. Best in the West.

philfree · 04-28-2012, 05:46 PM

I gave it a A-. We addressed our biggest need at NT (yeah Cassel I know) by picking the highest ceiling prospect on the board in Poe. He might bust but if we're grading today then it's a great pick.

We also addressed the O line which was a designated upgrade by Pioli and Co. We landed a guy who can start immediately at G and play both Tackle spots and we also landed a LOT of the future.

We addressed the much needed depth at S as well as RB.

All that spells pretty good draft to me. It's silly to grade it today though. We probably ought to give it a little more time.

**the Talking Can** · 04-28-2012, 05:46 PM

C+ with B+ upside entirely dependent on poe

nothing really exciting...some solid mid-to-late round picks, hit all our needs except QB

not one automatic day 1 starter in the whole bunch

consensus on Allen is he'll be a starter sooner than later, good pick
Stephensen is a developmental tackle...no clue if he is worth the pick
Wylie is the second fatest WR at combine, we needed speed and got it..credit for that even though he's probably nothing
Menzie comes from best 3-4 defense in college, and from a stud secondary...surprise pick but i like
Gray is excellent value in the 6th, imo...this pick made me happy
Long is 3-4 DE who made a lot of tackles, high motor...7th round, what do you want?
Hemingway...flyer on skill player, played big time football...like it

poe is a risk and a project...if he doesn't become wilfork that pick should cost pioli his job

Cassel is still our QB and no one else on the roster is worth a nickle..we'll go into year 5 with Cassel still as our QB, that is so insane there are no words

All of this. Only difference is I ended up with a more optomistic B, hoping that with some good coaching Poe is going to be great.

O.city · 04-28-2012, 06:05 PM

I look at it this way.

If this draft pans out how they hope it will, which it could or it couldn't don't know yet, our only hole left to fill is the quarterback.

You can trade away picks Redskins style next year and go get the guy you want.
