On Friday, you had the chance to grade the writers with their projections for the 2011 NFL Draft. Over half of the voters gave the writers a B or a C. Almost a quarter rated it an F, but no one said why. Now you get to have a look at what you the community did. But first, I will give you my reaction.
If you look at the top of the draft, Marcell Dareus is not a bad pick. However, Da'Quan Bowers at number two is now pretty crazy. Likewise, the possibility of no quarterback being taken until number seven is pretty much none.
Unlike the writers, the community also had Ryan Mallett being taken in the first round. Three quarterbacks in the first round will still be less than what will likely happen. Based on what I have heard, we might see as many as six taken in round one.
What was the surprise reach for me? It was Titus Young at number 26.
The surprise fall? Gabe Carimi. No, he may not be a left tackle in the NFL, but he will make a very good right tackle.
Now it is your turn. Grade your fellow community members.
