I'm sorry but those 2 votes for the Giants are completely "homer". The Giants do have needs and I'm pretty sure David Wilson and Reuben Randle address those needs. I just cannot envision a scenario where David Wilson evolves into the Giants feature back and Reuben Randle does nothing to fill the void left behind by Manningham.

The Eagles had the best draft b/c they just added a couple of key pieces to making the "Wide-9" defensive technique work. Many were critical of Castillo's defense last season but the truth is it failed early b/c of the time players needed to adjust and they didn't have the right personnel to run it. But the Eagles became more comfortable and finished with the 12th ranked defense in the league....only to add Cox up front and Kendricks to the LB corps. Cox is a run-stuffer and some believe Kendricks can be a strong-side starter in this league. Foles, Boykin, Kelly, and McNutt are all phenomenal athletes, easily envision them making an impact at some point, and each a high value pick.

The Redskins traded a fackload for RG3 and then took Cousins not long after. I don't care how you look at it, shake it down, address it...trade your next 2 drafts for a QB and then use up a 3rd for another QB makes no sense at all. The Cousins pick shows Shannahan hasn't forgotten his bizarre ways with the QB position. Why in the hell would you hand RG3 the keys to the franchise and then instantly have him looking over his shoulder at that other guy you drafted?

It was a 4th round pick, and the Redskins had two of them at the time.

You and I have gone back and forth over this already though, so it would be pointless to continue.

Manningham leaving a void? Randle might be better than him before 2012 is all said and done. Wilson is going to be a stud, he'll have Coughlin to show him how to carry the ball. He might also be better than Bradshaw by the time 2012 is done with.

lol, I know. I still hate the pick and will not relent......unless Griffin busts and Kirk Cousins leads the Redskins to all these victories.

Foles is the exact opposite of a phenomenal athlete.

Foles is the exact opposite of a phenomenal athlete.

Yeah...he probably shouldn't fall under that category but he's a big guy and excels in enough of the game to be taken seriously. Andy Reid works well with QB's and I'm sure he'll be flipping him for a draft pick within a couple of years.

New York Giants: A
Philadelphia Eagles: B +
Dallas Cowboys: B
Washington Redskins: C+



Giants filled up all their needs and they are dynamic players who are going to make a significant impact. Eagles had a pretty good draft shoring up that defense which was necessary. Cowboys made a good pick getting Claiborne. Redskins usually screw something up and Cousins is an example of that.

Shows the Redskins have no faith in RG3, what a bust.
