I'm not giving myself a grade, but I can say I'm extremely happy with it.
In the first three rounds, I got the WR I really wanted in DT. I got my top ranked DE in the second. Then I got the top LB I thought I had a chance at since I knew McClain wasn't dropping into the second for me, so I was hoping to land my guy Washington.
In the third I picked up Dwyer who I am probably higher on them most. I really like this kid for some reason and think his stock is too low, so I took the 3.4 to get my guy locked up on the PS.
The 3.5 pick was one made based on team makeup since there wasn't a player I wanted to sit on my PS for $2 there. I figured I'd handcuff my main RB. I would have passed on McKnight here is I wasn't the Greene owner, but McNight is worth more to my team since I am the Greene+LT owner.
Love Jackson and Ward choices for $1. I believe both will be day 1 starters at a great bargin price and fill holes in my lineup very nicely. I could be totally off base, but that's what I think right now at draft time.
Dixon was based on the fact that he should be #2 on the depth chart in no time.
Dillard has a high ceiling as a possible 3 down LB. I'm not sure if the Giants really liked him or just took him out of desperation, but I thought that he was a good value flier to sit on my PS. There wasn't anyone else I thought had as much upside as Dillard and it's the 6th round, so I could take a chance.

I like the draft. Given the size of the project I'm surprised that D Thomas went quite so high, although shooting for the stars at 1.6 can't be a bad thing I suppose. A lot of RB flyers, but that's a good tactic to try and build long term value. Getting the top DL is a nice move at 2.5, though I'm not sure he's a beast like Mario Williams and the bust rate on rookie pass-rushers is high.

Thomas, Morgan, and Washington were all good picks, and so were Jackson and Ward. I dont like McKnight, but I think Dywer might do something. Im not as high on Mendonhall as most

I took Morgan because I think he's the least likely DL guy to flop. Just about every other one of the guys drafted are one move pass rushers. Morgan isn't the greatest pass rusher ever, but he can play the run which is why I put him in an entire tier above the rest of the DL in this class. Essentially, he's one the the very few three down lineman I saw. There are a lot of guys who are only pass rushing specialists, but at 3 pts a sack that isn't that important. Plus, this league doesn't give high points for sacks. Funny you should mention Mario Williams because I had the chance to aquire him in a very good deal, but passed on him because of the low points this league gives for sacks.
As far as D.Thomas... In last years class I liked a lot of WR's. However, in this year's class there are only 4 WR's that I deemed "draftable" in a six round IDP league draft, so that put a very high premium on WR. When I traded for the 1.6 some time ago, it was in hopes that Thomas fell to me ;D
