NFC Draft Grades
(NFC East)
Weedseed
With Metals return and we see the return of the Eagles, Giants rivalry that we all love. I expect after his playoff loss Sin will be very hungry and now with a full offseason and season ahead, Metal should be going back to normal, not to mention the Skins will be back this year. This division could be one of the more competitive in the league this coming year with a lot riding on this draft.
New York Giants
Best picks: Tomas Delgado WR
Grade: D+
I can not grade based on amount of picks only what the team did with the picks it had. This Giants team only had a 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th round pick making this more of a depth setting draft. With that being said, I do think they could have gotten better value with they picks they did draft, case in point being Tomas Delgado, who was taken 20 picks before Seahawks monster Don Billingsley. Tomas is talented, standing at 6’3, 21 years old and 90 speed. Good size and speed makes him a nice piece to complement speedster Stuart Whitted, but doesn’t really bring anything to the table Curry Waynes or Kevin McConnell (Other Giant wr’s) don’t already posses. Late round picks were also lack luster with weak linemen or slow receivers. Overall value compounded with little draft capitol giving this team a low D+.
Philadelphia Eagles
Best picks: Leonard Hunter T - Jaron Milstead DL
Grade: B
Another case of low draft capitol, but when I look at this class, I see a few players who definitely deserve to be developed. My favorite player from this class is tackle Leonard Hunter picked in the 6th round. Leonard come out with 73 overall with 88 stock strength. Easily could have been a late 1st, mid second round pick, Hunter will be a nice piece to develop over this season. Then defensive linemen Jaron Milstead, alot like Hunter comes in with higher strength and if moved to dt could be one of the more athletic interior linemen in the league and guess what, he was picked in round 3. Overall not a flashy draft with low draft capitol but the Eagles did the best with what they had and I respect that. B for this draft class.
Dallas Cowboys
Best picks: Kelon Forte DL - Clayton Woodyard DE
Grade: A
I love what the Cowboys did in this draft, and it is my favorite class of any team so far. This teams for 3 picks were all defensive linemen, and good ones to boot. I do feel Forte would fit better in a 3-4 system, but will be a very sturdy run stuffing defensive end, but what Forte lacks in pass rush, Clayton Woodyard will definitely make up for. This guy is a freak, 6’6 coming in with 87 speed/88 accel. Clayton with development, could be the best pass rusher in this class and Turtles got him at the top of the 2nd. Great value for a freak pass rusher. Then in the 3rd and 4th round, he gets a solid rotational defensive tackle and a 96 speed speed burner slot guy/return man. Turtles gets a very solid A on this class.
Washington Redskins
Best picks: Willis Milloy HB
Grade: C
Three teams in this division did not have a 1st, and the Redskins are one of them. Willis Milloy is a nice piece to pick up late in the 2nd. Hes got 93 speed and 84 elusiveness rating and will be a nice change of pace back to complement RaKayle Keith. Overall, not a very strong class, and like I said before, low capitol doesn’t get you a low grade, it's what you do with those picks and I feel only 1 maybe 2 players from this draft stick in any capacity.
