a couple gems

Quote :

" Bad Moves: 2nd and 3rd round picks were duds: DE Osi Umenyiora and TE Vashante Shicarore should have TV and radio announcers baffled for years."

Quote :

" Good Moves: Obviously, Charles Rogers will give Joey Harrington a great target for the next decade. Second round pick OLB Boss Bailey was the best linebacker in the draft"

Quote :

"Bad Moves: I think Carson Palmer will be a bust."

Quote :

" I do not like fourth rounder CB Asante Samuel. "

Quote :

" Bad Moves: The Chiefs didn't have to take a running back (Larry Johnson) in the first round"

Quote :

"They took their QB of the future, Brian St. Pierre in round six."

Quote :

"QB Rex Grossman will not be a good pro. "

Called that, though!

Ive found that the 'experts' are generally right about as often as I am

" Good Moves: None. Bad Moves: None of their picks will pan out, including second rounder CB Bryan Scott, who was a reach. New Starters: None "

Quote :

" WR Andre Johnson will catch passes from David Carr for a long time."

here are some gems from 2004:

Quote :

" Bad Moves: The Falcons didn't need to select a backup quarterback (Matt Schaub) in the third round. They could have waited until round five. "

Quote :

"Ricardo Colclough will be the best corner on this roster by September."

Quote :

" Good Moves: WR Michael Clayton will be a better receiver than Keyshawn Johnson was."

Quote :

"Despite bad mechanics, QB Byron Leftwich is the franchise future."

Quote :

"WR Nate Burleson is a wasted third round pick."

Quote :

"WR Andre Johnson will catch passes from David Carr for a long time."

Quote :

"The Texans acquired themselves good trade bait, as they took QB Drew Henson in the sixth round."

Quote :

"None of their other picks will pan out, including second rounder S Terrence Kiel."

here's a good one from the Ravens from the 05 draft grade, which btw is linked on the original site

Quote :

" Bad Moves: The only pick I did not agree with was the sixth-round selection of QB Derek Anderson. Why draft Anderson when you already have Anthony Wright and Josh Harris in reserve?"

for real...you already have anthony wright to backup kyle boller...why take a chance on some no-name named derek anderson

more from 2005:

Quote :

" Good Moves: Taking Mike Williams, the best player in the draft, was a great decision."

Quote :

" Good Moves: Perhaps the Bears should have taken Mike Williams, but Cedric Benson will prove to be the best Chicago running back since Walter Payton"

Quote :

"Perhaps the most important pick Romeo Crennel made was in the third round, when he took QB Charlie Frye, who will be the future of the Browns' organization. "

Quote :

" Good Moves: Matt Jones, a WR-TE hybrid freak of nature, was a great first-round pick. He will become a great weapon for Byron Leftwich. "

Quote :

" Bad Moves: Where do we start? They did not address the wide receiver position, or any of their prime needs, for that matter. Middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who was taken in the second round, was a fourth-round prospect at best."

2005

Quote :

"Quarterback Andrew Walter, taken in the third round, has a powerful arm, and can fit into Oakland's system."

Quote :

"Good Moves: If Alex Smith doesn't hold out, the 49ers can say that they have one of the best draft classes in 2005. If Smith does hold out, they obviously have one of the worst. Forgetting Smith for a moment, San Francisco made great selections in the second round (center David Baas), third round (running back Frank Gore and guard Adam Snyder), fifth round (nose tackle Ronald Fields and wide receiver Rasheed Marshall) and sixth round (cornerback Daven Holly). Bad Moves: We will have to see if Alex Smith holds out or not. Otherwise, there isn't much to complain about. I didn't like either of the 49ers' seventh-round selections, tight ends Patrick Estes and Billy Bajema. "

Quote :

"Good Moves: Cincinnati's first two picks--DE David Pollack and MLB Odell Thurman--will be stars on the Bengals' defense for a very long time. Central Michigan offensive linemen Eric Ghiaciuc and Adam Kieft are welcome additions to the Bengals' offensive line. Cincinnati chose WR Chris Henry in the third round. While Henry has some character issues, he is worth the risk in the third round. "

Quote :

"Marion Barber III provides insurance if Julius Jones gets injured."

Quote :

"Minnesota struck out when they chose WR Troy Williamson over Mike Williams, the best player in this draft."

Quote :

"New Orleans' best selection, however, was their fifth-round pick when they took QB Adrian McPherson. "

Quote :

"All other picks were questionable. Did the Texans need to draft a backup running back in the third round? Why wasn't the offensive line addressed? "

Quote :

"Their fourth round pick was spent on Stefan LeFors, who could end up being the top quarterback in this class."

Quote :

"The Panthers did not address their offensive line enough. They took a running back in the second round? Don't they have Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster and Nick Goings?"

Quote :

" Denver made two solid draft picks. Their second-round selection of Darrent Williams will give them a solid defensive back to pair up with Champ Bailey in the future. I am also a fan of the Maurice Clarett pick. "

Quote :

"Middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who was taken in the second round, was a fourth-round prospect at best."
