Your teams NFL Draft Grade

What grade would you give your favorite NFL team?

I am a Vikings fan and so I would have to go with a solid B.

You have to start with the trade with Kansas City for Jared Allen. No worries of a hold out and you are pretty much guarenteed a pro bowler at DE next year (barring injury of course). Can't beat that for basically a first round pick.

First actual pick Safety Tyrell Jackson which a lot of people have said was probably the best saftey in the draft. Next pick was not until round 5 but picking up John David Booty at this spot was a great get. I am not sold on Tavaris Jackson and this is a little insurance. USC is about as close to a NFL type invironment as your likely to get.

The last three picks were a DT, C and a WR with a ton of speed. I can honestly see all of these guys making the team.

One of the biggest issues the Vikes had last year was not being able to stop the pass so a lot of people were upset with not getting any corners but IMO the real problem was a lack of a pass rush. If the QB has a half hour back there to throw the ball he is going to find someone open eventually.

So how did your team do?
