Denver? Clarett could be a total bust. I guy some thought would not be taken and Denver takes him high. Sure, he might pan out. But a lot of players taken after him (like Marion Barber III or Stefan Lefors or …) might turn out better. They could have gotten Clarett later and a better guy sooner.

Denver also took cornerbacks with their first 3 picks.

3.

Remind me how many corners you have on the field in a 4-3 defense? Oh, yes, that would be 2. They have, by definition, drafted more players than can be used in the starting lineup. They should have just gone all out and drafted 3 punters too.

What grade do they get? If Clarett rushes for a bunch of yards three years from now I’ll give them an improvement but for now this rates a mess and a solid D. The only thing keeping them from an F was the smart trade for bonus picks (even if wasted) for Washington’s first-rounder next season. If Washington stinks that pick will be worth something – it might even rank high enough to pick a player than can make up for this year’s draft mess.
