Ineffective Draft Should Equal Stronger Push In Free Agency
If you put 06 and 07 drafts together I would grade it like this:
06- average to above average
07-extemely below average
combined- below average
*If the 07 draft wouldn't have been so bad I would give us an average grade. Every team in the NFl had rookies that contributed in a major way(in 07) Except us!
1 2(2) Reggie Bush RB USC
2 11(43) Roman Harper S Alabama
4 11(108) Jahri Evans OG Bloomsburg
5 2(135) Rob Ninkovich DE Purdue
6 2(171) Mike Hass WR Oregon State
6 5(174) Bernard (Josh) Lay CB Pittsburgh
7 2(210) Zach Strief T Northwestern
7 44(252) Marques Colston WR Hofstra
3 potential Game changers on Offense
Bush
Evans
Colston
2 solid starters
Harper
Strief (I know he's not a starter, but I think he's capable)
Maybe it's just expectations from the draft, but to my eye the 3 game changers is a once in a generation draft. Again, just my opinion.
