Winners and Losers of the 2008 NFL Draft: NFC

The rich got richer in the 2008 draft as many of the teams with the highest marks in my book were also teams that went deep into the playoffs in 2007 and look to be there again in 2008 with an infusion of NFL ready young talent. Here is how I graded out the NFC:

The winners:

Washington Redskins: The Skins had a fantastic draft, their offense got a gigantic infusion of talent. They traded down and still got the best receiver on most draft boards in Devin Thomas and in round two they got a tight end that was very productive in Fred Davis, who was USC's leading receiver and carried a borderline first round grade most of the season. He (Davis) gives the Redskins a very talented tight end duo teamed up with Chris Cooley. Also in round 2, they selected WR Malcolm Kelly, who until he ran a slow 4.56 forty at Oklahoma's Pro Day, was rated as the top receiver on many draft boards. They got a very solid punter in round 6 in Durant Brooks, he has a monster leg and averaged 45.1 yards per punt. But my favorite pick for the skins (Round 6), was QB Colt Brennan, I could easily see him beating out Jason Campbell in a couple years. more...
