What grade would you give to the 2007 draft.
I’ve always heard that you cant grade draft for 3 years, well it’s been 3 years since the 2007 draft. Tell us what you think with a little more info.
Based on each pick in the draft here is what I think
Amobi Okoye I would now call him a reach, That said the when compared to some of the guys we missed, this was a huge miss, Amobi was the 10th pick, at 11 we missed Patrick Willis, at 12 we missed Marshawn Lynch and at 14 we missed Darrelle Revis. That hurts a lot to look at.
Jacoby Jones, looked at the time as a small school project, with a lot of upside, and that is what he has turned into, he’s a solid receiver and any time he gets the ball he makes a big play. I am thrilled that I wont have to hold my breath everytime there is a kick off. Knowing the odds of a fumble or a TD where equal.
Fred Bennett CB About what you expect from a 4th rounder ok but not great, and not a consistent starter.
Brandon Harrison Who is this again
Brandon Frye Apparently Brandon is a bad name to have if you want to be successful in the NFL
Kasey Studdard I’m still shocked that he is considered starter material, but I would call this overall a solid 6th round pick.
Zach Diles Is a classic over achiever, Everytime some one with more talent challenges him for the spot at WILL/SAM he seems to win out. But has been a starter for 2 years, this is a great 7th round pick up.
