Immediately following the 2009 NFL draft, football analyst, coaches, and arm-chair quarterbacks will give a draft grade to all 32 teams.
We all read them and either agree or disagree.
Truth is, a draft class shouldn't really be graded until about 3 years later.
So maybe now we can actually give an accurate grade to our 2006 Draftees. Potentially, each player has had 3 years to develop and produce for his team.
Following is a list of each player drafted in the NFC East in 2006. The stats that follow their names represent their 2008 season.
