As for the Packers' grade for that draft now being a "C" that of course is dependent upon how Rodgers works out - but I think too that Collins and Coston also could still change that grade (but it's this year or bust). Sharper took a long time to develop - even into his third year people were on him - as did Rivera. Not saying these two will step up, but I believe it's not just wishful thinking.
Finally, I wonder how injury counts in terms of draft grades. It's not Ted's fault that Terrence Murphy - who was looking pretty darn good - ripped up his knee. Yet in the end he didn't work out. So whose grade is the draft grade, then?
