It's so frustrating this team can't go BPA late in drafts. They try to get cute and end up with shit more times than not.

Agreed.

Anyone that recognizes that dbair is just a homer ****** right off the bat is pretty impressive.

Rounds 4-7 are all fucking Bullshit anyways. Its hit or miss... Nobody on this board has a clue, fuck, teams dont even have a clue on those guys

The top 100 picks are the premier ones. For this shit franchise to keep tossing premier picks to the wayside is a mistake we cant seem to stop making... This team doesn't get, what the Fuck else is new?

I don't like the 4th rd pick but honestly don't know anything about him. I knew about his teammate Kirksey and liked him for us, but knew nothing about this guy.

Giving up the 3rd to move up for Lawrence wasn't what most would prefer, but this team does need outside pass rushers and its obvious they truly believed Lawrence was the last guy available with high level or elite pass rush skill. If he rushes the passer the way they think he will, the trade up will be well worth it. If he doesn't then the trade was awful. I do like Lawrence as a player though and am very glad we got him.

The rest of the picks I thought were pretty solid. Martin is pretty much mentioned as a guy who has perennial probowl potential and offers extreme position flexibility. I really like Devin Street, especially where we got him. It made sense to use all those 7th rounders on defense and we got players from big schools who were productive at their positions there. With the exception of Gardner (torn pec, but reportedly will be 100% for offseason workouts) I didn't see any guys who had any injury concerns. Many of the guys we picked were team captains, which I also like because this team lacks leadership skills badly.

With the exception of Hitchins the rest of our picks were picked where they were expected to go or ended up being value for where we got them compared to where some/most had rated.

I am also pleased with a number of the UDFA players we've signed. Guys like FB JC Copeland and DL Davon Coleman could definitely make the team. Chris Whaley was a nice get, but I read he will probably be IR'd and stashed for this yr due to an injury he had at Texas. South Carolina OG Ronald Patrick is also interesting. A couple of the WR's we signed were considered some of the better UDFA WR's available. TE Jordan Navjar started out at Stanford but transferred because of all the talent ahead of him there, but is big and considered a quality blocker. Maybe he earns a spot as the 4th TE or beats out Hanna as the 3rd TE if Copeland makes the team.

This team had severe depth problems and the past three days will help towards alleviating that. I wont be surprised if all 9 picks make the team and the first two picks obviously walk in here and start/play major roles from day one. Gardner and Bishop probably arnt starters this yr but both could end up rotating in on games days and playing roles. The Oregon CB seems like a good fit as a zone CB and made a lot of plays in college. He had a mediocre 40 time at the combine but I read he improved greatly for his pro day.

Hitchens will be the future will backer and Carter will move to sam, at least that's what's being said.

I'm not upset with this draft atleast we went defense and Zack Martin was the BPA at the time, fuck Johnny football.

Agree. You have to make the most of each choice in the first 3 rounds. The rest are all bonuses if they contribute, and steals if they start.

Seems many are giving us a B grade.

Sounds about right. Maybe even being generous perhaps.

Everyone seems to like Hitchins, but not where he went.

I don't see the first pick that will have an impact this season. Very low impact draft IMO.
