Day 1 grades starting with the AFC East
First, let me explain the grading scale, it was curved to an 80, meaning that 16 teams got a B- or above and 16 teams got a C+ or below. The grade distribution above 80 was 3 A's, 3 A-'s, 3 B+'s, 3 B's, and 4 B-'s. With that said, let's go to the first set of grades!
:
A
They had Reggie Bush magically fall into their lap at the 4 spot. Beyond that, they picked up Jean-Gilles whom is the best guard in the draft to block for him and also brought in a QB who can suceed in the West Coast offense. But mainly, they got bush at 4!
:
A-
After trading down from the 8 spot they got themselves a total of 5 first day picks, and this team needs them. They also managed to address about every single one of their team needs in this draft, however, the thing keeping them from that A is the fact that there a some big question marks surrounding each and everyone of it's picks.
:
A-
Brought in two LB's to take over for their rapidly aging core. Getting Moss in the 2nd was a huge steal.
:
C-
Two great picks in Jimmy Williams and Charles Spencer in the 1st and 3rd respectively. However, though they desparate need for a QB let them reach a bit for Brodie Croyle in the second.
