The Messy Sock Drawer:
Oscar Madison's CFL Draft Grades
Post-Draft, 2007
Oregon Ice: B+
The Ice failed to get a top-tier running back, the team’s only pressing need, but added tremendous depth up and down the roster. NT
Gilbert Penman (1.30) and FB
Bubba Sweeney (4.27) both have All-League potential, while RT
Marty Covington (2.27) and WR
Cornelius Webster (3.11) project to be solid starters. FS
Geoff Gerhardt (5.28) is a developmental project, but could eventually win a starting job. RB
Dan Treadway (7.28) could get a lot of carries this year, while RB
Luke Blades (6.28) might see some time as a situational third-down back. CB
Warren Allen (2.30) and CB
Alonzo Bishop (3.11) should see time in nickel and dime packages. WR
Ted Bibla (7.12) projects to be the team's new punt returner.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: After the draft, I had a great surprise as FB Bubba Sweeney, my fourth round pick, went from
30/57 to
51/80! FS Geoff Gerhardt, who I took in the fifth round, improved from
17/49 to
21/54. The biggest bust was CB Alonzo Bishop, a third round selection, who dropped from
10/52 to
0/21.
