I think I'll trust the scouts, coaches, and GMs who get paid for a living to evaluate the players for their skills, potential, and FIT with this team.
I do wish they had found a way to address the LB position, but it appears they stuck with their board, and not Daniel Jeremiah's board or one of the many other rankings put together by fantasy football writers, CBS, or whatever. Can't hate them for that. They were also able to maneuver around to get more picks - instead of six total, they ended up with six in the top 150.
Still work to do, but I think the draft was solid.

100% - while LB is a worry, we addressed gaps in the roster and may even have picked up a future starting QB (or at least a solid backup).
I only hope they've done their homework on the UDFA pool. Seems every year we don't bring guys in and they get picked up by other teams and succeed. Could well be our missing LBs are in that pool; maybe not a starter but at least improved depth.
And with those picked up in the draft, there will be guys surplus to requirement on other rosters soon. Could be a guy or 2 that are better fits for us.
