Draft Grades: NFC East
Richard BowlerMay 4, 2007
Miss the NFL Draft last weekend? Let the Bleacher Report's Rich Bowler catch you up to speed with team-by-team breakdowns of the winners and losers around the league:
NFC East
Grade: B-
Best Pick: Anthony Spencer
Sleeper: Isaiah Stanback
Picks: (8) DE Anthony Spencer, OT James Marten, QB Isaiah Stanback, OL Doug Free, K Nick Folk, FB Deon Anderson, CB Courtney Brown, CB Alan Ball
Grade: B+
Best Pick: Steve Smith
Sleeper: Kevin Boss
Picks: (8) CB Aaron Ross, WR Steve Smith, DT Jay Alford, LB Zak DeOssie, TE Kevin Boss, OT Adam Koets, S Michael Johnson, RB Ahmad Bradshaw
Comments: The Giants accomplished two important things in this draft: First, they added some weapons to help out QB Eli Manning; second, they added depth on defense. Cornerback Aaron Ross will likely start from day one in the Giants defensive backfield.
Grade: F
Best Pick: Stewart Bradley
Sleeper: Tony Hunt
Picks: (8) QB Kevin Kolb, DE Victor Adiamiri, LB Stewart Bradley, RB Tony Hunt, CB C.J. Gaddis, TE Brent Celek, S Rashad Barksdale, RB Nate Ilao
Comments: In my opinion, the Eagles had the worst draft in the league. Using a top pick to reach for a QB on a team trying to win a championship is unfathomable. The only selection I really like is running back Tony Hunt, who will add depth as a tough inside runner.
Grade: B
Best Pick: LaRon Landry
Sleeper: H.B. Blades
Picks: (5) S LaRon Landry, LB Dallas Sartz, LB H.B. Blades, QB Jordan Palmer, TE Tyler Eckert
Comments: Not a lot of picks, but I really like LaRon Landry—the duo of Landry and fellow safety Sean Taylor promises to be one of the most dynamic secondary pairings in the NFL. Linebackers Dallas Sartz and H.B. Blades both could be key contributors as well.
