I satrted a prediction thread last week mostly it was in the B category. Well how DID RG do with this draft?
C. He plugged holes that he created by neglecting free agency concerns. Is the roster significantly better now than it was when the season ended? Hard to say so. At best, Levi Brown's rookie season will be as good as Leonard Davis's final as a Cardinal (which would be a monumental undertaking).
After that, we either just don't know (DL) or are likely worse (LB). A "C" grade means average. That's how this worked out.
If I just rated the off-season I would have given RG a C-D like Kerouac. If it was just based on the draft I would give him a B.
I wanted AP, but Brown was not that bad of a choice plus there other pics seem to have real potential. Picking for need in the draft is disaster especially when you have AP listed on the board higher then Brown. Still Brown was a decent choice and he is now anointed our savior for the O-Line. I feel like we have done this before ?? So I give the grade a B- to a C+ ..
absolutelyIt was a TEAM effort...not all on Rod's shoulders.
I give the team an A.
They had their priorities firmly in mind and applied the philosophies to the picks. The Cardinals are much stronger up front and may finally have a legitimate punt returning threat.
Levi Brown: best run blocking tackle in the draft.
Alan Branch: best space eating, run clogging DT in the draft.
Buster Davis: as good a tackling LB as there is in this draft, save perhaps Partick Willis and Paul Posluszny.
Steve Breaston: one of the top three punt returners in the draft.
Ben Patrick: ranked by many as the third best TE prospect in the draft...great value for a 7th round pick.

I had them at a solid B no knowing anything about the last three picks. After reading their bios I will bump them to A-. The true test will come in September. Everything is conjecture at this point.
If we're judging just the draft, then it's an A. Every player that we got is going to contribute to the football team, and I see three guys (Brown, Davis, and Branch) who will start from day one.
