Let's talk Brandon Scherff

[Chief X_Phackter]

While I think there is little doubt we got the best Offensive Lineman in the draft, this looks more like a need pick than a best available pick (I thought best available would be the strategy). One could argue that it was a bit of a reach, but I'm not mad about it. Maybe they had him graded higher than Williams, White, Beasley...

Should be a solid contributor for a long time barring injury.

Albert Breer tweeted he was 3rd on the skins board after fowler and cooper, so they technically got good value.

They did, Scot McC's draftboard:

1. Fowler
2. Cooper
3. Schreff

Then they got their man. Can't be upset about that.

Williams would have been a great pick, but we needed Scherff more. I like the word "Nasty" and don't have a problem with the pick. I want to see the second coming of Russ Grimm or Tre Johnson (minus injuries)
