re: Grade the 2012 Saints Draft

Let's take another look at this with realistic expectations.

Hicks, 3 year starter, 3rd round pick. Great pick, I like the B.
Nick Toon, still on roster going into year four. 4th round pick, possibly starting this year. B
Corey White, 3 year player with a large handful of starts. 5th round pick. Solid B- B+ considering 50% of fifth round and below picks are not even on a roster by year 4.
Andrew Tiller, not sure of his career or how long he was on a roster, i will stick with an F.
Marcel Jones, he has never played a game but considering he is still on a roster and on average 45% of 7th rounders are cut after one year i'd say around a c, maybe better?
Maybe our expectations are a little high on this group as a whole. Compared to league averages, we are probably closer to a B-C+ even if Toon flops this year.
