It was a very solid pick. Nicks will be in the rotation & should contribute this year. I like the Nick Toon pick, too. We did well with what we had as a franchise.

Its a draft grade based on a consensus of information known about the prospect.

If you picked a CB in the 1st round who was projected as a UDFA at 5'-7" and ran a 4.9 40 yard dash, I'd give that selection an F.

If you picked up Andrew Luck in the 3rd round, I'd give that selection an A.

Exactly, Danno.
