I would have normally somewhat come close to agreeing with sbaughone considering we usually only get about half the draft picks to be worth something, but this draft was different. No we did not go out and get our DE/DL we desperatly needed. It would have been nice to have a flashy name there to go along with Carter but I feel we can get by with what we have as long as we are putting up some points on the board. I also am smart enough to figure they will look at the undrafted guys as well as any that are cut prior to preseason.

We picked up the top rated WR on the board in Thomas, the top rated TE on the board in Davis to compliment Cooley in our 2 TE sets, another top rated WR in Kelly who probably should not have dropped as far as he did, and the top punter on the board who can has a punt average of 45yrds but did punt one for 76yrds in highlights.

And as far as punters go.....right after we picked ours another was picked which means we would not have had the best punter on the board.

I'm also excited about our other picks. A CB that was compared to Smoot. I like that pick. An OL who will probably be turned into a G or C. I think Zorn is not to happy with our center now sitting his butt to low to the ground causing JC to squat to low. A Safety who was compared to Ryan Clark. Can't complain there Ryan did a good job hell we fell apart after he left.

Now if we can find some diamonds in the rough with the invites! I wish they would give us the names so we could start our cheering squad for the UFA's. LOL.
