Grade The Draft (PURELY ON TALENT/NEED)

All this was done in a draft where the offensive line depth, the position we needed most, was just not there at any of our picks.

Ignoring character concerns, this is an A+ draft.

That is a key point Crazydawg. You get in trouble reaching in a draft (especially 1st 3 rounds) and a reach for an OL that did not grade out well would have been a huge mistake.
