Atleast Ward grades better than Bucannon

Not too far behind Gilbert who was the 8th overall pick plus cost them a 5th to move up a spot. I liked Gilbert at the end of the first or originally 2nd but I think his hype got out of control like Tavon Austin the previous year. Ward should continue to get better. I don't think he's been as bad as people think. Put aside the 2 or was it 3 td game vs Marshall where he had no business being on him but Fangio doesn't switch his cbs they stay left right or slot. Mistake that game.

As for the list Jordan Matthews and Jason Verrett were probably my 2 favorite players for our pick (in our area). I liked Jarvis Landry in the late 2nd as well. I'd like to see how Matthews and Landry are graded. I liked Beckham but his stock got out of control and went from late first early 2nd to 12th and would have cost us a lot to trade up for. I also liked Kyle Fuller for our pick. Clinton-Dix I liked if we would convert him to SS. Dennard I would have taken as well, Cooks I liked, was unsure on Roby, Marcus Smith I liked in the 3rd, wasn't a Bucannonfan and liked Easley so off on that one so far. He was a very risky pick though and thought he could be worth the gamble and turn out to be another Ray McDonald (3rd round, injuries).

Thanks for the list maddog, would appreciate it if you subscribe if you could post Landry and Matthews grades.

It's too bad Mack gets overshadowed by a terrible team. He's gonna be such a monster and fun to watch. IMO they probably have the best rookies on both sides of the ball this year.

We got 7 of the top 99 players from your board. Not too shabby.

Agree

Where are Moncreif and Bryant? They have been off the charts the last 2 weeks

Montcrief at 55 and Bryant at 60. In my on the clock draft, I selected Bryant at Pick 100. Really slow start but coming on strong. Super big help to the Steelers the past two weeks.

Saw him play yesterday. He is soooooo good. Wow! Going to be a Pro-Bowler really soon.
