2012 NFL Draft

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I cant believe I haven't talked about the giants yet. I like our first pick, even though he wasn't highly rated compared to most 1st rounders, I trust the giants when they say he was by far the second best back in the draft.

Getting randle in the second was awesome. We wanted him in the first, so getting him at the end of the second is kind of shocking. He'll be better than Mario manningham, who could not run correct routes and at times had a sever case of the dropsies.

I'm not gonna get into details about the other picks, I like them for the most part and have faith in the giants (who I think has been the best drafting team since Jerry Reece took over) for picking them.

All in all, there are definitely some interesting gradings. I agree with most of them, but there are a few that I think should be higher/lower.
 
And for anyone who's weird like me and cares how each conference & division drafted:

Conference Averages:
[table="width: 500, class: grid, align: left"]

[tr]
[td]NFC[/td]
[td]B/B-[/td]
[td]2.81[/td]

[tr]
[td]AFC[/td]
[td]B/B-[/td]
[td]2.79[/td]
[/tr]

[/table]

AFC Division Averages:
[table="width: 500, class: grid, align: left"]
[tr]
[td]AFC North[/td]
[td]B+[/td]
[td]3.33[/td]

[td]AFC East[/td]
[td]B/B-[/td]
[td]2.75[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]AFC South[/td]
[td]B-/C+[/td]
[td]2.59[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]AFC West[/td]
[td]B-/C+[/td]
[td]2.50[/td]

NFC Averages:
[table="width: 500, class: grid, align: left"]
[tr]
[td]NFC East[/td]
[td]B+/B[/td]
[td]3.25[/td]

[td]2.50[/td]
[/tr]
[tr]
[td]NFC South[/td]
[td]C+[/td]
[td]2.33[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

A 4.33 scale was used in order to account for the weighted grades.
 
I'm keeping an eye on the AFC North as I like to see what the competition is looking like for my favorite team, the Steelers.



I think that Cleveland messed up big time on that one since he was another QB that should have gone much later. Then again, they had to balance out their smart decision to move up to get Richardson with a not-so-smart choice to get Weeden this early.

Whodey!
