I think I like the draft a little bit more than a C, but probably a fair grade.

one thing everyone needs to understand about this draft is that josh freeman probably needed another year in college so don't expect him to jump right in and contribute. he will probably need a year or 2 on the bench to mature before getting on the field.

Yeah, I know that, which is why I was a bit hesitant to take him with a first rounder in the first place. But I feel good with McCown and Leftwich running the show for now, so it's all good.
