We addressed what needed to be addressed...


There were a few players i would of liked instead of the ones chosen, but the ones we picked were great.

Getting Xavier late was really good.

Chidobe at 60 is as about as good as it gets...he was a potential first rounder.


Lewis and Switzer look lights out as well.

I like the first five picks. I think we could have done better with the last three.

Our defense could still potentially be awful. But it's nice to see a lot of youth at basically every positional unit on offense and defense. Let's just hope some of them turn into players.

Look at what Dak and Zeke did last year, theses young kids have had great coaching and they'll be able to handle it in the NFL. This Defense will be amazing this year. Watch..

Really? Brown and Carrell were solid values.

Whoops, didn't mean the Brown pick, and I am intrigued by Carrell. It's the White and Ivie picks that I don't like. I don't think either really has a chance to make the roster. Carrell probably doesn't either, but he has some upside that I don't see with White and Ivie.

That doesn't make it a bad draft at all. It looks like a very good draft. I just think those picks could have been better spent.

Yea I'm sure some or most of our young guys will have good careers. I just don't think it's a guarantee they'll be successful right away. We could be in trouble if we have to depend on all first and second year guys.

I will give this draft a B+. I really like this draft the corners in rounds 2 and 3 are great young players but I really wish we could have drafted Barnett or harris. I think those two were the best right ends who could have produced pass rush instantly for us. I like charlton but he probably will only be a four sack player in his first year. at the end of the draft we drafted practice squad players. still one of the better drafts in the last five years. we still need that great pass rusher to put this over the top to me. I guess we will have to wait another year.

I'm hoping Taco is not another Greg Ellis...

I think potential much better than awful. Adding JSmith, Paea, Tapper, Moore, Carroll, Blanton, Taco, Awuzie, Lewis, Woods. Improvement of DIrving, ABrown, Wilson, DLawrence playing without the bad back. That's 14 right there. Our losses - Carr, Claiborne, Church, Wilcox, JCrawford, McClain, Durant. Our DL should be much better, LB should be too if JSmith can play and Wilson's improvement. Secondary in the reedzone is an unknown with so much youth. Hopefully Scandrick is another year removed from his injury and Carroll gives us something.

Anyone confused about Boulware winning the Lambert award and not getting drafted?

Greg Ellis got some flack because of who we didn't draft in his spot. He also had a few times when he was pretty thin skinned.

Although I believe he was a strong character guy and wound up with 84 sacks over his career. I would say we should be thrilled in Taco had a career similar to Ellis'
