I think we addressed alot needs especially with the Oline and Special teams.
What pick did you like? Where do you have questions?
Schreff is probably the best pick and probably the safest pick of the draft. I think I will always watch Leonard Williams to see what he does, but no questions with Schreff...he will be a skilled, tone-setting type of player that will thrive.
My question is with Preston Smith, is he really an OLB in this D? I just dont see him being fast enough standing up rushing the passer; his value is more with his fingers in the dirt. Not questioning the talent, just the value of best use.
I think the Jaimson Crowder pick is really exciting and Kouandjio could be a steal if he knees can hold up.
Overall, really impressive

I think with Smith it was more about getting a good football player and finding out where to put him. He's probably more of a 4-3 end so maybe they'll put his hand in the dirt on passing downs. Maybe they move him around.
Hard to argue with drafting Schreff. We need a big, physical guy that brings attitude. We're just way too soft on the O-line. I like that pick a lot. No complaints there.
Love the 4th rounder as well. Didn't like that we had a chance to get Lockett, but we got Crowder who can do the same things plus got those extra picks.
My one real issues was Jones. Don't have a problem taking a back, but Jones just didn't have the production, plus he doesn't catch out of the backfield. Just thought that was a reach. He could've been had in the 5th round.
Overall, this was a more than solid draft and a job well done. Now we need to see these guys in pads.
