Grade: B- (ATM)
1st pick: Bobby Carpenter (OLB) - definately the best value we could get at this pick alongside Manny Lawson, we filled a big need and no matter which of the two we drafted i was happy with. so we filled the OLB need with a solid player who knows what hes doing.
2nd pick: Anthony Fasano (TE) - in the chat today people ragged on this pick all day. IMO, it was a solid pick, he is a great player from what i hear "Witten Clone" has been spouted by a few people. this guy really supports this team, he eases the needs of other positions, with him we dont have to worry about another FB, WR is a bit easier since he will take some more reps and this will allow for more rest and less injury. and on top of all of that he provides good depth at the TE position. now lets not forget that we now run a 2TE set so he is going to be seen on the field a lot more thank you think, hes not a starter but hes going to play a lot.
3rd pick: Jason Hatcher (DE) - i dont know much about this guy, but i guess he was the BPA . . .
picks left: 125(4), 150(5), 182(6), 189(6), 211(7), 224(7).
with the picks we have left there are quite a few positions we can address. for instance i see us using the 125th pick on the best OL/FS, and i have a pretty good feeling that pat watkins or ko simpson falls to us down there, its very possible. now with our other 5th rounder i see us taking a whichever we didnt pick OL/FS or a DT if one of our NT prospects that we expected in round 3 is still available lets go for it, and this draft is full of talented Olineman so this may be a good spot for this. and now we have 4 picks left for the 1 of those 3 we didnt address, backup QB, WR, CB. maybe we take fifita in round six . . .
this draft has a lot coming 2morrow, it will be a good second day.
