I just call it as I see it. I really haven't felt it or haven't been excited for the past several off seasons. I like what I see and do have a good feeling. Again I am not ready to pronounce us playoff bound, but it will be exciting watching this new team gel. This could be the most physical team we have seen under Payton.

Our first three picks will be playing this season for sure. Garrett will wait for Drew and PJ will play behind Lewis and Browner. I give our draft an A- so far.

We got O-line help with the best OT in the draft. He will be starting at RT before the season is over.

We drafted arguably the top ILB in the draft. Fast, violent, smart, leader. This may end up being our best pick on defense in the Payton era.

We drafted arguably the best pure pass rusher in the draft. He's played 2 seasons after his knee injuries. I think he's OK.

PJ Williams: Compares to Charles Tillman. Nuff said.

The only pick I didn't like was Grayson, but I understand why we picked him. I just think Drew still has 3 to 5 solid years left. I don't hate the pick, I just didn't love it.

Violent!? Uh Oh, arguably more suspensions coming from the commish!

Danno · 05-02-2015, 07:28 PM

I give the draft an A.

No headscratchers. Everyone is football smart, non-stop motors, lots of upside, high character, leader types.

I think I see a pattern here.

^^^^ THIS. Attitude reflects leadership.

Can't wait for training camp to start

I'm honestly not overly excited or disappointed. I'm just waiting patiently to see how everything unfolds. Looks like we got a bunch of good, solid football players and that filled a bunch of needs on our team.

FinSaint · 05-02-2015, 07:47 PM

One thing is for sure - the DB depth/battle will be very exciting to watch this off-season.

hagan714 · 05-02-2015, 07:55 PM

the pick that I really am ticked about is the 5th for Swann. traded back in and i was expecting Charles Gains to be the reason. Gains was taken in the 6th by the browns after what was our pick.

so i am watching Gains vs Swann closely.

I do not see it. betting I wont either,

jeanpierre · 05-02-2015, 08:08 PM

Didn't understand the move for Swann either, and there was other value there at other positions...

Only thing I can figure was that Ireland had been holding it since Thursday and Sean and Mickey went crazy during Jeff's bathroom break...
