Hard to beat that unless you're able to draft another HOF QB. Nick Collins was a great pick and his career ending injury possibly precludes him from attaining HOF recognition. Draft Grade A+ because of AR12 and because he's still playing at an MVP level.

It's Monday and the Falcons
can end the Packers playoff hopes tonight with a win.
AR12 said he didn't play well
vs the Panthers…3 interceptions tells the story.
The defense didn't generate
any turnovers but they did not allow scoring drives on two of the three
interceptions by AR12; still, the defense allowed 31 points and had no
answers on covering Greg Olsen.

Hundley probably could be given a higher grade vs what PackersNews.com assigned.
Jamaal Williams is proving to be quite the combined rush/pass yards threat with his 3rd consecutive triple-digit yards game? He's a workhorse that can easily handle 20+ touches/gm but isn't as explosive as Aaron Jones
The OL definitely had some problems vs the Browns so the C+ is OK by me.

I'd draft defense heavy

with Hundley at QB and things haven't looked so good…Brett has accuracy
problems but hopefully he can correct them. He's a good athlete and has a strong

Things were going pretty good
until the broken collarbone bone.
The OL has been decimated by
injury! Hundley could get pounded
because of it.
Guess we'll see how good
Hundley really is…see if he's starting quality. I think it's going to be a rough go
because of the OL.
The OL cannot perform well
enough with 3 key starters out.

A 3-1 record at this point is a good thing all things considered... It appears to me that ARod's patience has improved regarding accepting that using his quick-release is a good thing; that sustaining drives on a consistent basis is something he can do if he's focused on it. It reinforces that he really can control games and help his defense out.

pass-rush ability and great over-all potential.
