Re: Grade Our Draft!

Brandin Cooks - A
- If he was 6'2 or 6'3, he would have been the first receiver drafted. He's a WR that Payton and Brees can put the ball in his hands on quick screens and let him make a play like Sproles. Plus he can blow he top off a defense, giving Colston and Graham more room to work over the middle. Great pick

Stanley Jean-Baptiste - B+
- great height and ability but still a little raw. Once he's able to digest the playbook and get some coaching on technique, the sky is the limit. He and Lewis will make a great pair of starting CB's for years to come

Khairi Fortt - B
- good prospect for the 4th round. Will need a little work, needs some coaching and to live up to his potential, but could be a solid contributor if the light turns on. Should make an impact on special teams.

Vinnie Sunseri - C
-with Byrd, Vaccaro and Bush, and other needs on the table, it was a surprising pick, especially with a late ACL tear this past season. He's smart, maybe one of the smartest football players on the defense, but lacks the athletic ability. Should be a great special teams player if he can stay healthy but how much "defensive" playing time will he see?

Ronald Powell - B
-High risk, high reward pick. Had the same ACL damaged twice, so major injury concerns there. But, when healthy, he played the DE/OLB hybrid at Florida, and could be that edge guy we were looking for. Here's to hoping he's not Cie Grant 2.0

Tavon Rooks - C
-definite developmental prospect and not guaranteed to make the roster (but who is outside of Cooks and Baptiste?). Could stand to add more weight and strength, but is exclusively a RT, so Strief has a backup with experience on that side of the line.
