[QUOTE="PackersRS, post: 365966, member: 1429"] Oh, we needed to. We desperately needed to. Lucky us, we found an UDFA in Sam Shields that was able to play as a seasoned pro. Look no further than the SB, when both him and Woodson went down. Roethlisberger out of the blue started ripping our D. It's not exclusive. It IS incredibly dumb to post grades before 3 to 5 years. Because teams don't draft players based solely on talent. They a lot of times project players, guys that were injuried, or had off-field trouble, or simply didn't achieve his potential in college. So an analyst takes a look at the Chargers' 2005 draft, and grades it A, with Merriman being the top pick. And even after 3 years, it's still graded that way. But now, looking back, it wasn't a good pick. He's out of the Chargers, and he has had only 4 sacks in the last 3 years... There really isn't a sure way to say if a team had a good or a bad draft right after it has happened. What one can say is if the draft adressed immediate needs or not, if it was a risky draft or not... Well, one can grade based on reach or value. That way, even if the guy pans out or not, it's a correct grade. Picking Cam Newton with the 1st pick is a reach, so it's a bad move. Regardless if he pans out or not, because there are too many questions with him. Now, picking him in the bottom of the 1st is a great value, regardless if he pans or not, because his upside is tremenduous. [/QUOTE]
