Initially I had thought our draftees from day three were a bit, I don't know, ho-hum---***yawn***, or something. I took a little time and reviewed all six. You know, the totality of this draft class looks pretty good, I am happy to say.!! The more you look around and read and think about where we were last year, then compare it to our new look this spring with this class of draftees....
I'm actually pretty happy.!!
I have to admit our draft team did a very good job. Overall, I'd give them a B+/A-
We've added a lot of speed, especially in places you wouldn't expect. Fastest Defensive Lineman since 2003 (Amari Barno..) and the fastest player at the combine this year and the fastest EVER by a defensive player (Kalon Barnes -- 4.23..). Our Linebacker is quick too (Brandon Smith..) who seems destined to move around to different positions. Then throw in another O-Lineman (Cade Mays..) who can play several positions across the line, and you have a decent group. These guys are trying to break into the 53 to go along with our first two days picks, Ikem Ekwonu and Matt Corral.
Yep, I'm pleased to say I have changed my mind (mostly..). We DONE good.!!
