NFL Draft 2011

Giving out these grades is always weird because no one really knows how some of these players will pan out. A few years ago, I could’ve told you that the Texans passing on Vince Young was a horrible idea because they needed a quarterback and he was a hometown hero. Fast forward five or six years and the Texans have a pretty good defense, led by Mario Williams. That being said, I can only comment on what I know in the moment and as of right now, this is what I think.

In a time when football in 2011 looked bleak, the draft was exactly what the doctor ordered for fans.

Here are 10 things I found interesting in the first 32 picks.

As always, the next coming weeks are very exciting for football fans. Its like the weeks leading up to Christmas. The temperature is changing, there’s a feeling in the air…a sense of joy for football fans everywhere. No matter what your team did this past season, everyone gets a clean slate. Its a new beginning.
