How do you rate your team in the NFL draft?

So far I am happy with what the Bears have done. Got a OT Chris Williams from Vanderbilt and a RB Matt Forte from Tulane.

You will be happy with Williams. He is a stud OT.

It seems that the Titans are throwing darts at a board while blindfolded. There is no rhyme or reason that I can see so far to what the choices are. Vince needs targets to throw to and so far we are choosing DEs, TEs, and RBs that we do not need . IMHO

And Colt Brennan goes to Washington.

I like Colt Brennan, but I hate Washington. Not sure what I will do when he plays.

The Steelers did well. Got a great running back in Mendenhall, and the WR from Texas can't remember his name right now.

Why didn't the Bears draft a QB? Surely, they are not expecting Grossman to improve much?

I'll help in your decision on what to do, NOTHING because Colt will not play!!!!

I agree, their offense has the potential to blow teams up. Though I'm still a little concerned about that O-Line.

Hearing Jeff Fisher talk about the Titans draft has been interesting. Some of the "Duds" they drafted actually sound like good choices when used in the method he mentioned. It will be interesting.

Jeff, I told Debbie that Fisher makes it sound like if they had had the top 7 picks in the draft that these were exactly who they would have chosen. I realize that you cannot admit failure this early after the draft but NOT ONE national media outlet that I have read rates the Titan draft above a D!

There were a few that rated them as high as a B+ and and a few in the C range. The Zone ran them down yesterday. Most of the ones that rated them so high were the ones that had really studied the kid we got in the first round. They said he would fit in perfect with what we are wanting. He is a Shawn Alexander style back. Can run AND catch the ball.

Steelers also drafted Dennis Dixon, who could be a trick play threat if his knee recovers.

New Orleans Saints graded C by The Sports Network

1 - Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC (6-0, 309); 2 - Tracy Porter, CB, Indiana (5-11, 188); 5 - DeMario Presley, DT, North Carolina State (6-3, 299); 5 - Carl Nicks, T, Nebraska (6-5, 341); 6 - Taylor Mehlhaff, K, Wisconsin (5-10, 183); 7 - Adrian Arrington, WR, Michigan (6-3, 202)

Analysis: The Saints weren't able to move up to draft Glenn Dorsey, but got a pretty solid consolation prize when they traded up into the No. 7 spot to draft Ellis. Ellis is a versatile interior presence who will start right away for New Orleans. The athletic Porter will also be needed immediately for a team that is thin at corner, but there is some question about his toughness. The Saints took some big chances on the second day. Nicks and Arrington both have character issues, there are questions about Presley's desire and work ethic, and New Orleans made Mehlhaff the first kicker taken in the Draft despite the fact that many scouts regard him as purely a kickoff specialist. The Saints came out of the Draft still in need of another pass rushing threat and offensive line depth.

Bottom Line: Ellis was a great selection, but there isn't a whole lot to get excited about thereafter.

Grade: C

Dolphins: I liked the Jake Long pick, but I wish he hadn't been #1 overall. He would've been a top 5 pick no matter who had 1st pick. We need a QB more than anything, and I'm not sold on anyone the Dolphins have. Do I trust Parcells? Sure, look at Dallas. To me, they've exceeded everyone this offseason.

I know what you mean (about what he did for Dallas). I was shocked. I think he's talented and he's right where he needs to be. A VP and not a coach. I hope the Dalphins do great.. .. Just kidding.
