Spaced Continuum Wire Services... Here's a sports beat writer synopsis:

Austin 1-8 LB Don Hilsenroth 1-13 CB Matt Whitewell
2-26 S Shea Flowers 2-35 DE Ronnie Washington
3-44 HB Sherman Jones 3-53 C Brian Thompson
4-62 TE Terrance Foster

Made a bunch of trades to acquire picks: got excellent depth at multiple positions. GRADE B.

Billings 1-11 T Tim Martin 2-29 FB Ron Perry
3-47 HB Verna Owens 4-65 TE Brian Dolph

Sad to this franchise ownerless. These picks will help any new GM. T Tim Martin could be a building block.
Could have added another QB, DL, LB and DB. Depth at LB critical. GRADE C-.

Black Hills 1-14 DE Cory Mayfield 2-32 S Reggie Carthon
3-45 C Joe Anderson 3-50 LB Chuck Reed
4-68 WR Todd Doxson 4-71 FB Andre Hatcher

Black Hills active in the trade market: secures multiple picks in this and 2006 draft. Picks geared to
Fill future needs. Look for GM to acquire waiver wire pickups. Grade B.

Colorado 1-12 WR Brian Meier 2-30 QB Daymeune Craig
3-48 TE J.J. Washington 4-66 T Colin Bryant

Could have used a RB in a running back rich draft. First 2 picks sure fire all stars. Grade C.

Dayton 1-16 FB Lloyd Clemons 2-34 QB Dusty Bonner
3-52 WR Craig Yeast 4-70 CB Charles Verdonna

Had no real needs, will be tough to fit rookies? QB Bonner a bonus for the future. Grade C.

Fargo 1-10 WR AJ Street 2-28 LB Roosevelt Nix
3-46 WR Dialleo Burks 4-64 LB Mark Blackburn

Only real need at LB, WRs a plus. GRADE A.

Fort Wayne 1-1 HB Lincoln Coleman 1-2 CB Clevan Thomas
3-54 QB Marrial Sheilds 4-55 FB Chris Rainey

Excellent moves to trade into 1 and 2 overall: net result: the highest rated O and D player available.
Both should instant starters. Filled need at FB. QB Shields has a future. GRADE A.

Honolulu 1-4 DT Asa Francis 2-22 WR Randy Gatewood
3-40 LB Tim Betts 4-58 S Ben carter

Needed a WR, got a starter? LB made more sense at #4 overall, but DT Francis best at his position in this
draft. Age catching up to O-line. GRADE B.

Lincoln 1-3 DE Earnest Certain 2-20 S Cedric Walker
2-21 TE Anthony Knight 3-37 WR Jermery Duthcher
3-39 G Mark Frates 4-57 C TJ Sutherland
4-59 DT Maurice Addison

Nice trade? #1 rated DE, S, TE, and G. Only question: where does GM fit them all? GRADE A.

Louisiana 1-5 CB Mark Ricks 2-23 WR Andy McCullough
3-29 QB Matt Strand

CB Ricks will play this season. 2 projects. Aging team looking to FA pool? GRADE C.

Madison 1-17 FB Chris Floyd

Have the horses after trades to win it all: they better do it now: veterans-r-us. Grade B.

Mississippi 1-6 LB Casey Urlacher 2-24 G Andrew Aldridge
2-31 DT Wes Clubb 3-42 HB Bobby Phillips
3-49 C Steve Vecchio

Lots of quality players. Not quite sure how’ll they’ll all mix? Grade B.

Mobile 4-67 WR Kevin Swayne

GM depends on trades rather than draft. Didn’t really need much. Grade D.

Portland DND – Traded all picks GRADE I.

Springfield 1-15 DT Silas DeMary 1-18 DE Ricky Franklin
2-1 LB Terrell Spears 2-33 TE Elton Rhoades
4-60 T Gabe Dunkman 4-68 K Chance Long
4-72 CB Jimmy Moore

Made the most with the picks they had. LB Spears starts? GRADE A.

St Louis 1-9 DE T.J. Light 2-27 G Marvin Major
4-63 G Cody Beguin

HBs Bobby Phillips or Sherman Jones could start here? Still, filled needs. GRADE B-.

Steel Valle 2-36 LB Al Wilson 3-38 S Almonesse Boyles
3-51 C Heath Keim 4-56 DT Cameron Chance

Nothing special. HB Leotis Flowers acquired via trade. GRADE C.

Wichita 1-7 FB Johnny Frost 2-25 CB Dewaine Carpenter
3-43 HB Martez Johnson 4-61 T Fernando Soto

Filled need with FB Frost. GRADE C.
