>> Go here to see the 2013 Draft Selections

LAS VEGAS 69ERS
drafted	Eddie Lacy (rb); Tyler Eifert (te); Jonathan Franklin (rb); Christine Michael (rb); Marcus Lattimore (rb); Stephen Williams (wr); Gavin Escobar (te); Ladarius Green (te); Chris Ivory (rb)
summary	The 69ers have done alot with their team the past two draft seasons and it will be interesting to see how this team develops over this and next season. In addition to making nine picks (all of which were smart and need friendly), the 69ers acquired Dwayne Bowe in a predraft trade. Most importantly the 69ers addressed their areas of need this offseason - adding players and building depth at the rb and te positions.
2013 draft grade	A

DENVER TOMCATS
drafted	LeVeon Bell (rb); Robert Woods (wr); Zach Sudfeld (te); Terrance Williams (wr)
summary	The Tomcats continue to draft well and this year they had some better selections to help build immediately. With no clear-cut #1 player in this draft, Le'Veon Bell was the right choice for this team as he probably immediately. becomes the teams top RB. Zach Sudfeld could be a sleeper this year and Robert Woods and Terrance Williams were decent value picks. The Tomcats still need some improvements (especially at the RB position) but they continue to make wise decisions on draft day.
2013 draft grade	A-

MACUNGIE O'S
drafted	DeAndre Hopkins (wr); Julius Thomas (te); Phil Dawson (k)
summary	DeAndre Hopkins could turn out to be the best WR in this draft and the O's made an excellent value trade with A II P for kicker Randy Bullock (who they originally acquired at #23 before trading him for #39 and a conditional draft pick that could turn into a 2nd Rd in 2014).
2013 draft grade	A-

TOLEDO TORMENTA
drafted	EJ Manuel (qb); Matt Barkley (qb)
summary	The trade of Dwayne Bowe was risky for a team unsure of what they wanted to draft but the defending champions should excellent patience in making a draft day deal to gain a pick in 2014 (along with the #9 selection of EJ Manuel). The Matt Barkley selection was a bit unneeded but this team has few weaknesses and the owner has a history of being very patient with the young QBs they draft.
2013 draft grade	B+

D.C. H
drafted	Tavon Austin (wr); Markus Wheaton (wr); Kirk Cousins (qb); Keenan Allen (wr)
summary	H acquired two very talented WRs that could produce right away with Tavon Austin and Markus Wheaton (as well as late rounder Keenan Allen). The Kirk Cousins pick was a bit of a surprise, but H has a history of turning QB (both rookie and especially non-rookie) selections into value.
2013 draft grade	B+

FLIPPIN UNITED
drafted	Codarrelle Patterson (wr); Justin Hunter (wr); Seahawks (d/st); Travis Kelce (te)
summary	Having a rb/qb strong team may have forced United to look elsewhere but they've added two rookie WRs to a roster full of young developing WRs. If a few from this groups could emerge as regular starters, United could be building a powerhouse roster. The addition of the Seahawks could also prove valuable this season.
2013 draft grade	B+

LOS ANGELES LAKE SHOW
drafted	Montee Ball (rb); Zach Stacy (rb); Quinton Patton (wr)
summary	After their first round pick (which they used with a solid pick of Montee Ball), Lake Show grabbed a couple of nice sleepers in the late round - most notably Quinton Patton with the #58 pick. They'll need a big year this season because they are currently without a 1st and 2nd Rd selection in 2014.
2013 draft grade	B+

OUTER BANKS LIGHTNING
drafted	Giovani Bernard (rb); Stedman Bailey (wr); Vance McDonald (te)
summary	Lightning made a risky but bold trade to acquire their targeted player, giving up #9 and a 1st Rd pick next year for rb Giovani Bernard at #3. That trade will put pressure on Bernard to produce quickly but he does have the opportunity and the talent to do so. The team also wisely addressed their backup tight end situation with a nice pick of Vance McDonald.
2013 draft grade	B

MYRTLE BEACH 328'S
drafted	Aaron Dobson (wr); Stepfan Taylor (rb); Mike Gillislee (rb); Zach Ertz (te)
summary	328's might have taken Aaron Dobson and Stepfan Taylor a bit earlier then they were projected, but they got excellent value with Zach Ertz at #21 overall. He could be the teams starting te by midseason.
2013 draft grade	B

TUCSON A II P
drafted	Kenbrell Thompkins (wr); Geno Smith (qb); Andre Ellington (rb); Randy Bullock (k)
summary	The teams first pick of Kenbrell Thompkins at #18 could prove to be solid but otherwise they seemed a bit lost and disorganized. Salary issues forced them to scramble on draft day as they made a highly unfavorable trade with the O's just to stay under the cap and maintain a legal roster.
2013 draft grade	D
