That was may experience as well randori standing and kneeling for ground. We spent an equla amount of time with standing and ground work.
BJJ acknowleges (kosen) judo , fusen ryu jujitsu in thier style. Most if not all of the techniches, ground fighting, the concept of challenge matches, etc. came from judo in general and specifically Mateda that is no secret (and does not take away from the Gracie accomplishments). The problem was Kano deciding circa 1925 to committ to the sport aspect and remove alot of the formidible techniques in trade for sports appeal.
So kid_chocolate you are correct in the sense that it is judo, but it is the forgotten or de-emphasized techniques of judo. Please see link-interesting information
To answer the original question I would say Yes Judo ground fighting is enough, but no it is not the equal of BJJ due to the emphasis. just as BJJ standup is not equal to Judo or JJJ due to the emphasis. However, for SD judo ground work will be more than enough if you happen to go to the ground. And judo standup techniques will make sure that you rarely get to the ground.
