1st Annual Bike Tour NFL Draft Report

After a year of mock drafts that pretty much no one predicted even close, the NFL draft finally went down last weekend. With every draft comes "the draft grades" as us idiocracy-to-be ones love a good list as our pea brains can't comprehend too many long stories. As with the mock drafts that preceded them, the draft grades are rarely correct. Case in point of our beloved Detroit Lions and the hated GM that created the NFL's first winless team in the 16 game season era, Matt Millen. I'll admit it that I applauded the move when we first hired him but it just didn't work out. Had he found a franchise quarterback than the one he tried to force onto the city with so many wide receiver first picks to offset said quarterback's liabilities, things might have been different. We laugh at the receiver pick three years in a row process today, however, the "experts" applauded them back in the day. I did some Internet searches of those drafts and found there are no experts; we'll all armchair quarterbacks.





With the positive grades also came some not so positive (realistic) grades:
 













My draft grade is and will always be 'incomplete' until I see what happens in the fall.
