i am starting to really like how the draft is turning out. moore in the 2nd and sidbury in the 4th are real good value picks, who fill some of our biggest needs. than d line is starting to come together quite nice, very athletic, and great pass rush ability

I agree kira. If you look at the picks from this & last year's draft, you can see the direction we are heading and how these guys are pieces to the puzzle we're putting together. Big MLB, undersized DT's that can eat up Guards while creating major pressure up the middle, a huge DE on one side holding his edge and a super fast on coming off the other edge to the blind side....now we just need 2 athletic OLB's to finish off our front 7...and we may already have 1.

How can you not love this draft now? OMG SIDBURY IN THE 4TH. WOW.
he is 267 pounds so it's not like he's too small to play LDE for us. Chanucey is 270. He should fit in very nicely.

Difference being Chauncey never sniffed a 4.67 40 yd dash...lol
Sidbury could be the best pure pass rusher in this draft class.

Freeman or Duke would go down nicely.
Maybe Meredith.

Wow, another corner?
William Middleton....another no name corner at that. Hell, Samuel was a no name when they picked him.

Another slightly odd pick.
I know that TD specialised as a secondary scout, but this is rather taking it to extremes.

Nothing else. We swapped picks for a seventh I believe.

I could see him starting at RT in the future and we need depth at OT.

our defense is going to be nasty. we picked up a good NT, a good SS, some guys to compete at CB, and a pass rushing monster at DE. hopefully we get Duke Robinson at our 6th and I would be an extremely happy man.

I still don't like the idea of Babineaux and Jerry starting, but I like the draft as a whole.

More of an athlete than a football player, didn't do much at Miami.
Maybe just a ST pick.

He wasn't a starter in college. That tells you about all you need to know.

Special teams are not irrelevant.
6th and 7th round is the normal territory for such picks.
Besides, if the light comes on for Adkins he could actually be quite good.
As I said earlier, I would not be surprised if we did gauge the contract demands of Leroy Hill...
