Draft Grades: NFC North

NFC North

Chicago Bears

Grade: B

Best Pick: Greg Olsen

Sleeper: Josh Beekman

Picks: (9) TE Greg Olsen, DE Dan Bazuin, RB Garrett Wolfe, LB Michael Okwo, G Josh Beekman, DB Kevin Panye, CB Corey Graham, CB Trumain McBride, OT Aaron Brandt

Comments: The Bears picked up an impact weapon in tight end Greg Olsen, who will improve their offense and give Rex Grossman a security blanket. I like the picks of Garrett Wolfe and Josh Beekman, two solid players who can both fill roles next season.

Detroit Lions

Grade: B+

Best Pick: Calvin Johnson

Sleeper: Ikaika Alama-Francis

Picks: (8) WR Calvin Johnson, QB Drew Stanton, DE Ikaika Alama-Francis, S Gerald Alexander, CB A.J. Davis, OG Manuel Ramirez, LB Johnny Baldwin, CB Ramzee Robinson

Comments: Who would have thought Matt Millen would look good for drafting another wide receiver? That's how special Calvin Johnson is. Drew Stanton was a good choice and could be the QB of the future in Detroit.

Green Bay Packers

Grade: B-

Best Pick: Brandon Jackson

Sleeper: Desmond Bishop

Picks: (11) DT Justin Harrell, RB Brandon Jackson, WR James Jones, S Aaron Rouse, OT Allen Barbe, WR David Clowney, LB Korey Hall, LB Desmond Bishop, K Mason Crosby, RB DeShawn Wynn, TE Clark Harris

Comments: The Packers took a lot of players at positions of need. I'm not high on the Packers draft, but as last season shows, GM Ted Thompson is an excellent gem-finder. I wouldn't be surprised if Green Bay comes away with a solid draft class.

Minnesota Vikings

Grade: A+

Best Pick: Adrian Peterson

Sleeper: Aundrae Allison

Picks: (8) RB Adrian Peterson, WR Sidney Rice, CB Marcus McCauley, DE Brian Robinson, WR Aundrae Allison, LB Rufus Alexander, QB Tyler Thigpen, WR Chandler Williams

Comments: A spectacular draft that transforms the Vikings offense into a formidable unit. Marcus McCauley and Rufus Alexander had disappointing senior seasons, but both are highly skilled and could ultimately become starters in the NFL.
