A QUARTERBACK Driven League...FINAL Grades are in for the AFC in 2012 NFL Draft.....is your Team on the HONOR ROLL?..STEELERS or BENGALS Magna Cum Laude perhaps?

All the scouting, the NFL Combine, the Senior Bowl, non-stop evaluations On and Off the Field and still some NFL Teams got on the Clock and went all over themselves.

The constant moving up and down to get guys early when after the smoke cleared in the 1st Round it looked like everyone got THEIR GUY. The Mid Term Grades were one thing but after Rounds 2-7 (Chapters 2-7) did your team get better or worse? Did they add adequate depth moving forward to solidify not only needs but just from a talent standpoint?
