The top of last year's draft was pretty weak. For example, Lane Johnson and Ezekiel Ansah would probably be mid to late first round picks this year.

I don't know about that. I think Ansah is a top 15 pick and Johnson goes somewhere in the 7-13 range. Keep in mind that both were physical freaks that were drafted for their immense upside. That wasn't changing. Honestly, I think a guy like Luke Joeckel or Dion Jordan/Mingo or Tavon would be most hurt by this draft class. Joeckel would likely slot in the Lewan range(pick 10-15), Jordan or Mingo could very possibly not be picked until after Barr and Mack(13-20 range) and Tavon would probably be picked after Evans and Watkins...at minimum Watkins.

The draft last year was absolute shit imo, I said it all last year. I thought the Rams did a great job of coming away with some of the few players that were there. I didn't care one ounce when they made any of the trades.

Would much rather have the #2 pick this year than last, and Ogletree, Bailey and Stacy wasn't an awful haul for the #22 pick, so thanks for sucking at the right time Washington.

True. Well, it was shite at the top. Had depth. Just didn't have blue chip guys. Glad we got the #2 pick from Washington this year instead of last.

Eric Fisher- Good year
Luke Joekel- IRd
Dion Jordon- Disappointed...didn't do anything.
Lane Johnson- Stud
Ezekial Ansah-Stud
Barkevious Mingo- IRd, but was having a good start to the year.
Jon Cooper- IR
Tavon Austin- In terms of all purpose yards, great year; as a WR just average.
Dee Milliner- Was really getting better 2nd half the season.
Chance Warmack- Meh
DJ Fluker- Good year.
DJ Hayden- Not a good year from what I could tell.
Sheldon Richardson- Stud; DROY

Kyle Long- Stud
Tyler Eifert- Decent

2009 is what I consider a shitty draft year.
