B for San Fran. I really couldn't believe they passed on Devin Thomas but I really liked but the more I read about Balmer, the more I like him. Originally I didn't think he was big enough to fit their scheme but apparently he has the potential to add on more and be the guy they need. The Niners signed Bryant Johnson (who I really like) and Isaac Bruce to go along with Vernon Davis so the WR crew should be good. The Niners built their offensive and defensive lines which is always a smart strategy. I really would have liked to add Devin Thomas to the mix as a value pick since I am super high on that kid, but all in all, they did good.
i really have no clue what patrick is going to end up doing, hope he does well... really a straight ahead runner, no messing around with cuts, but seemed to always get tripped up on his way to a big play at ou... he should make the team for baltimore though, he's a good special teams player
I thought the Thomas pick was a great value play. Then they go and take Kelly and although Kelly was probably good value then, they really didn't need a WR. I'd give them a C overall. They needed a punter and they got the best one in the college game. They got a guy who I think is going to be the best WR in this draft class. They also got Fred Davis who should be a good player. Colt Brennan as a backup is okay I guess even though I'm not sure how good of a pro he is going to make.
C or C- for the Chargers
Other than the fact that everything AJ SMith touches in the draft seems to turn to gold, I would give this draft a D or F.
Chargers desperately needed a Right Tackle and didn't draft OL until the 7th rd.
Antoine Cason is a very good player, but the Chargers could've traded down, acquired multiple more picks, and still gotten Cason at least 1/2 rd-1 rd later
Jacob Hester to back up LT? Yikes. Hester is a nice, versatile player, but isn't comparable to Michael Turner for his running skills. And we gave up next yr's 2nd rounder to move up in the 3rd to get a guy who would've still been there in the 5th? WTF!

Juice its your opinion but i have to disagree with you. I was with you on draft day when you said stuff about not getting OL and DL. But then my dad was talking about his beloved skins draft. He reminded me yall dont need OL 3 of them was hurt last season. And the therr that replaced them did a pretty good job. So that makes at least 5 serviceable lineman not including the other two starter. Now DE was a need. Still cant believe that. But i think you guys may be going after jason Taylor.
But i love redskins fan. If skins do it thru free agency they get made. If they do it thru the draft they get made. LOL
Listen, I love the Redskins too.
But you can't tell me that WR was their greatest need, not with the money they have tied up in that position.
Not when they have an aging offensive line that was patched together last year.
Not when they can't get a consistent pass rush.
What's the point in investing in WR's if you don't have time to get the ball to them?
There's only one football. Here are the current playmakers on the team:
Moss
Randle El
Portis
Betts
Cooley
Now, let's go ahead and add TWO more WR's and a pass catching TE. It's ridiculous.
And don't tell me we needed a punter. Nobody drafts a punter, we have a perfectly serviceable punter that we just re-signed.
This draft was asinine, one receiver was fine, but picking up 3 (a pass catching TE is a WR that lines up on the line) is ridiculous.
The sad thing was the Redskins were poised to address many needs and fully restock with this draft and they didn't take advantage.

Texans: D
What a friggin' reach for the LT in R1, and then drafting Steve Slaton made me want to hurl.
Love the Xavier Adibi pick. Don't know why they bothered wasting a 7th round pick on Alex Brink when the 3 QBs are clearly Schaub, Rosenfels, and Gray.
I mean they may end up with a decent player from R1 and maybe that kid from Eastern Kentucky at CB will turn out ok in the long run, but all in all, I'm not impressed.
