Baltimore Ravens A-

Few teams sport draft track records like Ozzie Newsome and the Baltimore Ravens.  With no glaring holes the Ravens were looking to upgrade the Secondary, Wide Receiver and Offensive Tackle positions while adding depth at Linebacker and DE.  The Ravens pick of CB Jimmy Smith will ultimately define this draft.  The Ravens needed to add youth and talent to a Secondary that is usually exposed vs. division rivals Pittsburgh in crucial game situations.  Smith was the 2nd most talented CB on many teams boards.  His off the field issues caused many to pass on him, not Newsome.  If Smith lives up to the Hype and stays out of trouble he is worth a full letter grade all by himself.  The second round saw the Ravens fill another hole when they snagged hometown speedster Torrey Smith.  A true home-run threat Smith will add a dimension to the Ravens offense that was missing until now.  Jah Reid may have been a reach in the eyes of many scouts, but not mine.  Reid shows many of the intangibles to be a successful RT in the NFL.  It may take him a year to get there but at the least he will provide injury insurance right away.  Tandon Doss was a good value pick in the 4th round and should be able to play in 3 and 4 wide sets as a rookie as well as contribute on teams.  All 4 of the Ravens late round picks are players who should make the team.  Seventh round pick RB Anthony Allen could replace LeRon McClain in the starting lineup as a rookie should McClain leave via free agency.  Fith round pick Pernell McPhee is a somewhat light DE for a 3-4 but brings intriguing pass rush ability.

Cincinnati Bengals B

The Bengals top needs coming into the 2011 NFL draft were to find replacements at QB and WR for Carson Palmer and Chad Ocho Cinco. Pass rushers and depth at RB and DB were on the next tier.  The Bengals took perhaps the best player in the draft in WR A.J. Green. He immediately steps in and provides a Pro Bowl capable big play threat.  In the second round the Bengals reached in my opinion and drafted QB Andy Dalton from TCU.  While we like Dalton and think he could be a serviceable NFL starter, his value was more likely in the 3rd round.  Dontay Moch was an interesting pick early in the 3rd.  Moch ideally seems to fit best as a 3-4 rush OLB.  Seemingly a player such as Oklahoma RB DeMarco Murray would have provided better value at the pick than a player like Moch who seems to be a square peg in a round hole.  At this stage he is a very raw prospect and situational pass rusher and special teams will be his only action.  Clint Boling in the 4th round will give the Bengals versatility on the OL.  With the exception of polished WR Ryan Whalen ( who really impressed me at East-West) the back half of the Bengals draft was filled with raw players who will likely only be special teams contributors.  While the Bengals did an admirable job filling needs, the player values and scheme fits were questionable.

Cleveland Browns A-

After the blockbuster deal with the Falcons getting 5 picks in exchange for their first round pick the Browns were already flirting with an A draft.  Did they screw it up?  Team priorities were pass rushers, a playmaking WR  and depth on th OL and secondary.  Some question first round pick Phil Taylor and whether or not he fits in the Browns new 4-3 scheme. Bottom line for me is, who cares.  Men with Taylor’s size and movement skill can play in any scheme.  Taylor an Ahtyba Rubin should clog the middle in Cleveland for years to come.  Jabaal Sheard provides the upgrade the Browns were looking for from a pass rushing DE prospective.  Sheard was a fast riser on many teams boards and was a borderline 1st round talent for some.  Greg Little is a height, weight speed WR prospect who fits the west coast offense the team is switching to next season.  Leonard Hankerson was a better available  prospect in my view but Little is a good fit too.  Jordan Cameron is a pure speculation play at TE.  A basketball conversion player they feel can make an impact like Jimmy Graham did in New Orleans last year.  Of the late round selections Jason Pinkston is a player who was graded much higher on many teams boards and was good value.  Fellow late round picks Buster Skrine and Eric Hagg should make immediate contributions on special teams while providing depth on the back end.

Pittsburgh Steelers B-

Steelers Director of Operations Kevin Colbert marches to a different drum than most NFL personnel guru’s.  Colbert is a disciple of the Steeler philosophy of taking the best player available and sticking to your board.  Most teams in recent years have touted this philosophy also, but few do it as ardently as Colbert and the Steelers.  Cornerback, Guard and Tackle were the Steelers primary needs coming into this years draft.  Depth at NT and DE were on the second tier.  As usual the Steelers were true to their board and took the BPA according to it, Ohio State DE Cam Heyward.  Many Steelers fans no doubt were wondering why the brass would pass on Missisippi St. OT Derek Sherrod.  The answer of course lies in the Steeler philosophy and Heyward was the higher rated player.  The second round pick would see the Steelers grab their Tackle prospect in Gator LT Marcus Gilbert.  I have not been a big fan of Gilbert’s play this year and considered this a reach.  I will say that Gilbert for whatever the reason is a much different player on the right side than the left.  Tackles Jason Pinkston of Pittsburgh, James Brewer of Indiana, Jah Reid of UCF and Lehigh Guard Will Rackley were rated higher on a few boards than Gilbert.  DT’s Kenrick Ellis and Jurrell Casey were popular possibilities in the second round also.  In the 3rd and 4th rounds the Steelers tagged a pair of Corners in Texas’ Curtis Brown and Cortez Allen from the Citadel.  Brown should step in and play the nickel slot as a rookie and Allen will vie for time on special teams as a developmental prospect.  OL prospect Marcus Cannon may have been worth the risk in the 4th.  Fresno St. pass rushing OLB Chris Carter is the type of pick the Steelers make nearly every year and he will fit right in as an eventual star.  Available OLmen Lee Ziemba, Johnny Culbreath and Andrew Jackson could be considered upgrades over 6th round pick Keith Williams.  Barron Batch should be an adequate replacement should Mewelde Moore not be resigned.

Buffalo Bills B

The Bills had 3 goals coming into the 2011 NFL draft.  Upgrade their anemic pass rush.  Find a QB to compete with Ryan Fitzpatrick.  Get some long term solutions at the Offensive Tackle Position.  First round pick Marcell Dareus will help the pass rush twofold.  Not only can Dareus generate a push on the pocket but he will free up OLB’s Chris Kelsay and Shawne Merriman to make some plays.  Unfortunately this is where the checklist ends.   In the second round the Bills took Texas DB Aaron Williams.  While Williams does provide depth in the secondary QB Colin Kaepernick would have been the ideal prospect for Chan Gailey’s athletic QB.  The third round saw Buffalo pick up 3-4 ILB prospect Kelvin Sheppard.  This pick was a reach this early in the 3rd, and while Paul Poslusny is a potential FA and Andra Davis is getting up there the value pick would have been USF OT Jah Reid who could have immediately stepped into the competition at RT.  With all the ILB depth available on the 3rd day (Quan Sturdivant and Greg Jones) this was an error in judgement in our view.  Outside of  Dareus the best pick (albeit not one of need) may have been 5th round RB Johnny White who will provide a hard charging back to compliment the Bills rotation.  All in all Buffalo drafted some very solid football players who at the least will provide quality depth in many different areas, however, they missed the chance to significantly improve the team in 2 of 3 major needs.

Miami Dolphins B-

Miami had major needs heading into this draft, mostly along the offensive side of the ball.  The biggest need was a QB to come in and compete with Chad Henne as a rookie.  With the future of Running backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams in doubt a feature back was also high on the priority list.  Interior line help and a true #2 WR were also high on the list.  The first round screamed for Miami to trade out.  Without a 2nd round pick the Dolphins needed both quality and quantity.  While OL Mike Pouncey was a need pick his value may have been slightly high at pick #15.  We may never know if the Dolphins had any serious offers to trade out of this spot, but if they did and did not, it was a huge mistake.  The Phins traded back into the 2nd round to presumably grab Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett. After having said that they were one of the few teams willing to gamble on Mallet’s off the field issues, it came as a surprise that Kansas RB Daniel Thomas was the pick.  While Thomas is a fine prospect the fish could have really missed the boat by not taking the most pro-ready Qb in the draft in Mallet.  The 4th round may save this draft for the Phins if WR Edmund Gates can develop into a Mike Wallace type talent who can stretch the field.  Looking back the Dolphins took some real chances in this draft and it would be hard to say that a draft of Pouncey, Mallet, Delone Carter and Dwayne Harris wouldn’t have filled their needs better.

New England Patriots B

The Patriots came into the 2011 Draft with 6 picks in the first 3 rounds, and presumably ready to wheel and deal.  Team needs were upgrades at DE and OLB on defense and a true #1 RB and WR on offense.  OL and Secondary depth were also priorities.  With 6 picks this should have been easily done.  In the first round at pick 1/17 the Pats took what many considered the 4th or 5th best OT prospect in Nate Solder.  With only Tyron Smith off the board and highly rated prospects Anthony Castonzo and Gabe Carimi still available this pick was considered a reach by many.  The Patriots then traded their 2nd first round pick to the Saints who drafted RB Mark Ingram.  Giving Belichek a pass on Solder the Patriots could have left the first round with Solder and either Ingram or DE Cam Heyward ( a fantastic 2-gap 2-4 prospect) and 2 of 6 major needs met.  In the second round the Patriots drafted oft-injured Ras-I Dowling with the first pick int the 2nd round.  Dowling was one of the top 3 CB prospects entering the season and if he can put his injury riddled senior year behind this could be a solid pick.  The next 2 pick saw a pair of very productive college backs fall to the Patriots.  Both Shane Vereen and Stevan Ridley should provide plenty of durability and production for years to come from the tailback spot.  One has to wonder though if that production couldn’t have been just as easily duplicated with Ingram and a late round pick such as UConn’s Jordan Todman.  With WR’s like Greg Little & Randall Cobb available in the 2nd and Leonard Hankerson still there when they picked Ridley you have to wonder if they are finding themselves more enamored with “playing” the draft than finding the best players to fill needs.  Ryan Mallett and Marcus Cannon were excellent values in the 3rd and 5th rounds respectively.  At the end of the draft the Patriots still found themselves without a pass rush prospect and a big play threat at WR.  This could have and should have been an A+ draft.

New York Jets B+

The Jets came into the 2011 Draft with needs primarily on the defensive side of the football.  An upgrade at DE and a replacement fro Kris Jenkins at NT were top priorities.  A pass rushing OLB and depth at WR and secondary were also areas of need.  The top 2 priorities were met in the first and third rounds with the selection of Temple DE Muhammad Wilkerson and Hampton NT Kenrick Ellis.  Compared to what was available it would be hard to argue ( although Cam Heyward would be valid over Wilkerson) that the Jets erred in their selections.  Both players were drafted where they were valued and should be year 1 starters.  The Bilal Powell pick was interesting in that he is in essence the same type of  player as Shonn Greene.  Not a bad pick but a player like Jacquizz Rodgers might have offered a little more roster variation than Powell.  Jeremy Kerley was a nice addition in the 5th round with really only a player such as Fresno St.  pass rusher Chris Carter possibly being a better option at a different position.  All in all the Jets came away with 2 players who should be starters on defense for the next decade.  It was a solid draft.
