Well no surprise but once again for me you get another “atta boy” Stephen. 😂 Seriously well done. I wanna give us a “solid” rating for this draft but I’m having a problem getting past the fact that we completely ignored one of this drafts strongest position groups at def.tackle. Where this draft goes really wrong for me was once you get past the CB Thomas in round 3 there were significantly better players at positions of need available in each instance. And looking at the players we traded up for going by the draft guides ( as well as my own lists) I think all of our final 4 picks would have all been there had we stayed pat. Basically they were all reaches. I’m still hoping there’s a TE out there capable of blocking in 12 personnel packages because Taylor at this point is probably our best blocking TE and he was average at best as a collegiate. He will find that task much more difficult on this level.

Thanks again. I don’t do grades because I am so often wrong, as are the so-called experts like Kiper and the GMs who make the picks. I too wish they got a DT and a better-rated deep threat WR. But we have to recognize that they were never going to plug every hole in one Draft.

Understood and I agree. I just thought we needed a DT more than a S or a WR that can’t catch. 😂
