WHAT! I have to pay money to read that? Spit tooo eeeee.
DJ Flucker did way better than I thought he would and I don't need to say anything about Keenan Allen right? Did the Chargers grade improve?

Summary: Don't say I didn't tell you about my offensive rookie of the year pick. My grades noted: "Keenan Allen wasn't a huge need, but he's got the tape of a first-rounder, so expect impact from him. He's got a lot of ability and is a couple years younger than many of the other top wideouts in this draft." A ton of catches later, he's a total steal for the Chargers. Fluker was really up-and-down and simply has to improve as a pass-blocker, but he certainly gave them reps. I thought Te'o was a steal at No. 38 overall, and while he was far more tentative than I expected, he should go into next season with the starting job and the hope of improving. Sixth-rounder Tourek Williams also got a lot of time. We'll see if Fluker and Te'o take the next step, but Allen is already there. Good draft so far.

Can someone post the Pats regrade. Kiper always loves to hate on the Pats draft and then when he regrades it he acts like he knew what it was made of all along. Happens every single year.

Original Grade: C+
Summary: Is there a star in this draft, or even a Pro Bowl-caliber player? Maybe not. But that doesn't mean the Patriots didn't do an incredible job of plugging gaps with rookies they drafted and those they picked up as undrafted free agents to keep the ship afloat as long as they did. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Patriots played 13 rookies in total and ranked second in rookie snaps. The Patriots again traded out of Round 1, and got Collins as their first pick at No. 52 overall. Collins wasn't a factor early, but came on late in the season and was particularly impressive in showing he'll be able to drop and cover. Ryan led NFL rookies in interceptions. The worry about getting early help at wide receiver was justified. Dobson will need to be better, and the Patriots missed a chance to take a better wide receiver, had they held onto the first-round pick -- Cordarrelle Patterson and Robert Woods come to mind. But Kenbrell Thompkins provided some value on the cheap.
Elsewhere, plugging the D-line with undrafted Chris Jones and Joe Vellano, while not perfect, was certainly resourceful. The Patriots stuck to their strategy of looking for more players and thus more chances to develop talent. It'll be interesting to see if they target more impact, as opposed to roster duct tape, in the 2014 draft. Bill Belichick deserves a lot of credit for utilizing these guys to the best of their ability, but there isn't anyone who wows you in this class. Still, the grade definitely jumps.
New Grade: B

Post-draft grade: B
Summary: If you just base it on production from the rookie class, this would be considered a pretty disappointing draft. But there's more to it than that. The Chiefs' single greatest need going into the 2013 offseason was to fix the QB situation, and while Alex Smith isn't Joe Montana, it's pretty clear they got the best return from a QB that came via the price of a draft pick. The trade with the 49ers now looks pretty good, and Smith was solid if not spectacular, and aided a huge turnaround. After that? Well, there are questions. We knew Fisher faced a tough transition, and simply moving to the right side isn't some transitional cure. It showed. He was better late, but he didn't play to the level of a top pick. Davis could be good, but can he hang onto the ball? Cornerback Marcus Cooper counts with the rookie class, and while he flashed well, he also got exposed badly when he faced better QBs. The Chiefs got a QB, and that helps the grade, but we still need another season or two to see what else they got. New grade: B-
I'll do all the ones you guys ask for. lol
