Joe Thomas - absolute stud. Perfect pick for the Browns as he not only filled the need, but seems to be one of the best in his position. He locked down just about every DE he faced, and to my knowledge, only gave up two sacks.
Brady Quinn - love the pick even though we may have given up too much to get him (would have liked to get a 4th or 5th round in return from Dallas. Regardless, he looked great in his one regular season appearance, and would have had a TD if Winslow didn't drop it
Eric Wright - Again, a huge success. More or less started every game this season, and played really well against #2 receivers. His biggest test will come this year as he's asked to lock down #1s.
Brandon McDonald - Seems to be a 4th hit in the draft. Played exceptionally well against Andre Johnson (albiet his first game back from an injury) but a lot more will be expected this year as he's asked to at least play nickel, and possibly start ahead of Holly against #2 WRs.
Purcell/Pittman - both were on the developmental squad. It would be a huge success if one or both could make the team and provide depth at DE by becoming part of the rotation. Anything more than that is a lot to expect from 6th and 7th round picks
Syndric Steptoe - Cribbs emergence as the top return man hurts a lot of Steptoes value. If he makes the team, it would be in place of Travis Wilson, finally putting the official "bust" tag on the pick
Overall. A near flawless draft. A franchise LT, QB and potentially two starting CBs. It simply doesn't get much better than that.
