So, I liked a lot of guys late in the draft which is weird for me. Traded with Jester to add an extra 6th and 7th. I pretty much just picked the best available guy every time I was up, and it happened to work out that I got a lot of guys at need positions. My D-Line is crazy old and if these guys work out, I just replaced the whole thing. I need any help I can get at safety, and I needed a backup LT since Lamont Shepard retired. The only guys I'm not sure what to do with are the two 7th rounders... We have a good FB already, and pretty decent guards. Maybe those two guys will crash and burn and then I won't have to worry about it

All in all, I think the draft picks turned out pretty well. Lets just remember those Pre-camp ratings and not come back to judge them after camp

Great late round grabs if their ratings stay

[Suicane]

I thought this was a crazy deep draft.

[Kobeck]

yeah. Not superstars in the late rounds, but still starters.

[Chris Rex]

I thought this was a crazy deep draft.

I agree. First one in a long time where there was some real value outside of the mid 2nd round...

[JesterBlaze]

This was the first draft class I can remember that was worth trading future picks to get into this draft if one had no picks.

[Mike17]

Well, a lot of guys dropped. Not too surprising for a bunch of late rounders. But, my two DEs held up, so at least I'm set there for a few seasons.
