I had New England and tried to shore up the secondary first.
#32 - Thomas Davis S (Georgia) - Easily my best pick. Couldn't believe he dropped to 32, and even though I see him more of a SS and we have Harrison (who is getting on in age) the value was just too high to pass up. he can also play FS or LB if he ahs too for a while. Ideally he moves to FS for now and Eugene Wilson goes back to Cb full time.When harrison retires i'll move him to SS probably.
#64 - Bryant McFadden CB (FSU) A good prospect. i like him there. not great value but not a reach by any means. When ILB Odell Thurman started to drop I tried to trade up to get him, but didn't have enough ammo because my only 3rd was a comp after the Starks trade. Then I wanted to move down to have 2 3rds and take some OL help. .. but no takers. So I grabbed McFadden to work at CB. Between Wilson, Poole, Starks, Samuel and McFadden we should be set. I forsee Starks and Wilson starting for now with McFadden and Poole as the top backups for now until McFadden is ready to start.
#100 - Frank Gore RB (Miami) - Really wanted OL but couldn't see anyone of value being there... No good LB's either. It was a tough call after that. I decided to just get some quiality depth at RB since Dillon was hurt off and on last year. Gore is a player that we may look back at this draft as a major steal. Kind of a BPA/need pick combined. I wasn't comfortable with Faulk and Pass the only backups on the roster.
I think improved the team. At least there is lots of depth in the secondary so last years problems of having to play Troy Brown and Earthwind won't happen again.
Davis is a future star IMO... at 32 you can't ask for much more than that.
If Bruschi can't play i should be alright with Klecko, Biesel, Johnson, Colvin, McGinest and Vrabel for another year. Would have been nice to get younger there. Davis can even play LB if he must.
The OL needs youth and to improve even. most of my late round picks would have been spent there. Maybe have to look at June 1 cuts too.
I'll give myself an B+
