WhoDat205 · 04-30-2007, 11:24 AM

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth in the wake of the draft, here's a quick recap of our offseason moves thus far:

Who we lost:

Joe Horn - WR to ATL
John Carney - Cut
Ernie Conwell - Cut

Who we Signed:

Brian Simmons - LB from CIN
Troy Evans - LB from HOU
Kevin Kaesviharn - SS from CIN
Olindo Mare - PK from MIA
Eric Johnson - TE from SF
David Patten - WR from NE
Calen Powell - TE from WASH

How we used our Draft picks:
R p(ovr)
1 27(27) Robert Meachem WR TENNESSEE
3 2(66) Usama Young DC KENT
3 25(88) Andy Alleman OG AKRON
4 8(107) Antonio Pittman RB OHIO STATE
4 26(125) Jermon Bushrod OT TOWSON
4 27(126)Jason David - CB (compensatory pick to IND)
5 8(145) David Jones DC WINGATE
7 10(220) Marvin Mitchell ILB TENNESSEE

And the UDFA's (Thanks to Bobaganoosh):

Peter Dyakowski--OT---LSU
Walter Thomas--DT--NW MISS JC
Rhema McKnight--WR--Notre Dame
Tyler Palko--QB---Pitt
Pierre Thomas--RB--Illinois
Joe Porter--CB--Rutgers
Jake Kuresa--G--BYU
Pat McDonald--LS--Alberta
Wade Koehl--LB--Houston
Jon Hamm--DE--CLark Atlanta
Keith Greer--FB--Idaho

If I missed anyone, please let me know.

Looking at this, I am very pleased with the FO's offseason work. We lost one starter (Horn) on Offense and replaced him with Meacham (imporvement?), and upgraded at LB and CB. The rest of the draft was for deapth and they took some fliers on some small school guys that will require some work. I attribute the David signing as a draft move since all we really lost was that 126 pick.

Mid-term Grade: A

Let's hear yours...
