Everyone knows that the draft is basically a crap shoot, and who knows when, or even if the season will start, but here is my off the wall draft grades.
AFC East:
Buffalo. C. They helped their D, but did nothing for their anemic offense.
Miami. C. A decent draft, but still no QB.
New England. C+. The reverse of Buffalo. Offensive help, but nothing for their aging defense.
N.Y. Jets. C. They helped their lines, but still no LB help.
AFC North:
Baltimore. B. They addressed some needs, but Smith is a gamble.
Cincinnati. B+. Solid WR draft, and insurance at QB by taking Dalton.
Cleveland. B+. Nothing spectacular, but quantity for a team that needs a lot of help.
Pitt. B. Typical Steeler draft, getting line help on both sides of the ball.
AFC South:
Houston. B-. Much needed defensive help.
Indianapolis. A-. They got help for Manning, and the defense.
Jacksonville. C. Gabbert was a steal, but they got little else.
Tennessee. A-. Locker is a bit of a stretch in an otherwise very solid draft.
AFC West:
Denver. C+. They got some much needed defensive help, but not much else.
Kansas City. D. They rolled the dice way too many times in this draft.
Oakland. C. Not too bad for no 1st round pick.
San Diego. C-. A good late round draft saved this grade from going even lower.
NFC East:
Dallas. C. Solid 1st round, but the rest was rather weak.
N.Y. Giants. B+. A very solid defensive draft.
Philadelphia. C-. Another team that rolled the dice too many times.
Washington. B+. A suprisingly solid draft on defense and at WR.
NFC North:
Chicago. B-. They got Line help, but still no help for Cutler.
Detroit. A. Farley and Suh will be the two best DT's in the NFL. An overall solid draft.
Green Bay. A-. Lots of help and protection for Rodgers.
Minnesota. C+. Ponder is the big gamble here.
NFC South:
Atlanta. B. Did they give up too much for Jones?
Carolina. D. They rolled the dice on Newton and got little more.
New Orleans. B+. Ingrams health is the only question mark for an otherwise solid draft.
Tampa Bay. B. Not much on offense, but a solid defensive draft.
NFC West:
Arizona. B+. They will have the best corners in the NFL. Overall solid draft.
St. Louis. B+. They got defensive line help and help for QB Bradford.
San Francisco. D. They reached almost every round, and still no not have a QB.
Seattle. C+. Offensive line help for a running game, but what about the QB situation?
