This is a very good draft. Every player can challenge for a starting position or play immediately on special teams.

Weber started as a true freshman in his first game and stood out. He is a tough straight line runner with power and can spell his Alumni brother. He does play special teams.

Yeah, no.

We drafted a head case, a clear back-up, a very poor man's Reggie Bush, a corner and defensive end who won't make the team, a nickelback, and a running back who probably won't get a real shot to make the team. In fact, our last two picks have been our best two picks.

We look like we totally misread the board and missed out on Isaiah Johnson (based on Richard's reactions) trying to get cute and draft a guy who didn't start for his college team. This is Prime Time Jerry at his finest. We did not have a good weekend.

IMO, this draft only pans out if Trysten Hill becomes a professional and dedicates himself to football.

Jordan Chunn, the guy the Cowboys stashed on the Practice Squad from last year, might be a better prospect than Weber, IMO.

At least we have options! As of right now, our RB bunkhouse is full.
Zeke
Rod Smith
Darius Jackson
Chunn
Pollard
Webber

Disagree. I think between the draft and free agency we are now a better team than last year. Looking forward to the season!

I like the pick, especially combined with Pollard

Fwiw, count me with those who think Weber seems underrated. Not saying he's a future starter somewhere, but feel good about him backing up Zeke.
