Draft Grades

[Liqourish]

Brian Cushing has played well but I don't think he's the best player in the draft, not even as of right now.

I think the Lions had a very good draft, even if it's still underrated. I don't see as many people blasting them for passing up Jason Smith or Aaron Curry at #1 anymore. Getting Stafford, Pettigrew and Delmas as well as LB DeAndre Levy and RB Aaron Brown should put them near the top of the draft grades.

I disagree with pretty much every wideout in that re-draft list.

1) Harvin is a very nice player, but no way would he go 3rd overall
2) If Collie played for any other offense he would be quite pedestrian. Peyton makes everybody look like stars. Not to mention defenses are constantly focused on and doubling Wayne/Clark.
3) Knox is a nice player, but I'm thinking he is getting upgraded due to his return abilities. As a pure wideout his ceiling is not all that high IMO
4) I'd prolly have to put Louis Murphy ahead of Mo Massaquoi. Although, I don't think either is a 1st round talent. They both suffer from godawful QB play, but IMO Murphy has been sharper and done a little more.
5) Crabtree is clearly being disregarded because of his holdout. He has really impressed considering he never experienced a minute of training camp and basically learned the offense on the fly.

Well said. I think Louis Murphy has played very well all things considered.

I think the bears did an A+ job for what they had
