Well, we got an OK CB, a decent to good S, a terrible QB and a kicker.
C+ so far.

I also think Roy Williams' play this year has to be evaluated, since we gave up several picks this year for him. I would count him as a 'draftee' this year too.

I'll probably end up rating the draft an A for Dallas once I read all the spin articles this week.

So far I'm not happy with the Lion's draft. They did pick up some defense later but still no offensive line help. A QB and a TE for their first two picks, especially the TE, got boo-ed by the fans.
Stafford will be starting soon because their QBs are going to get killed with no O-line help.

I agree about Detroit, but...if you were gonna botch the draft anyway, Pettigrew is a great pick.

Pettigrew is really good. Chad has the right idea about McGee- he needs to convert to WR.
I think you get an idea how much control Jerry Jones has over the team by the amount of players Dallas drafts from Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. The trade for Roy Williams and the drafting of McGee really show he's trying to manage the team personally instead of letting his football personnel handle it. And that generally bodes poorly for the Cowboys.

Mangini not welcome in Lubbock Just got off the phone with Texas Tech coach Mike Leach. I think it's safe to say that Leach has crossed Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini off his Christmas Card list. This is what I mean: Leach had just gotten on a conference call when he described his pupil, new 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree, as someone who fled from the spotlight and as someone without "a bunch of distractions going on." That, of course, is the polar opposite of how Crabtree's been portrayed in the last few weeks. Leach obviously believed that rumors as to Crabtree's diva-ish behavior orginated in Cleveland with the Browns head coach. "Michael Crabtree has been more successful as a receiver than that guy has a coach at this point," Leach said. " ... Part of the reason is he's (Crabtree) too shy to be like that." Said Leach: "My definition of a diva is someone who's loud and self-absorbed. Michael Crabtree is the furthest thing from loud that I've seen." As evidence, Leach noted that the tape he had on Crabtree blocking in the running game was better than the tape of Crabtree making catches. "I think it's one of the strongest parts of the game," Leach said. "I mean, to the point where it's impressive." Leach described Crabtree as the "ultimate team player who would serve the 49ers well." As for Mangini? "Let's see how all those non-divas do up in Cleveland this year," Leach said. -- Matt Barrows www.shaggybevo.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35546

Herm Edwards on Percy Harvin:
"“This guy is one of those guys, whether he’s driving a Ferrari, a Cadillac, a Volkswagen, if he even goes to Disneyland and drives the little cars that run on the rail, he’s going to have a wreck. So, you better have a good body and fender man. . . . There’s going to be some things you have to deal with, and you know that.”

Biggest injustice of the draft was Quan Cosby not being drafted. I know he's 5'9 and will be 27 when the season starts, but he can be a Hines Ward type player. I just don't understand GMs.
Go back and watch his performance in the Fiesta Bowl.

but he can be a Hines Ward type player. Oh, so he can lay down cheap-shot blindside hits, and then get knob-slobbered by John Madden?
