Typically fans being underwhelmed means great drafts. So that's awesome.

Yup. Underwhelmed can also mean lack of understanding which is normal since none us are "in the know".

Not with this organization. Not in a few years. I'm ok with this draft overall, but that last pick... Was questionable.

Good thing is he can play DE and DT in a 4-3 at 300 pounds. If it pans out:

Onyemata|Rankins|Fairley|Jordan will be a very strong run defense, with above average pass rush capabilities

If it pans out, yes. It would be great.

There were 17 teams at his pro day. So I guess we will find out.

He did run a 5 flat 40 at his pro day; pretty damn quick for 300 pounds, and benched 225 pounds 33 times...

I would think 17 teams sending reps to Canada to see one guy means he is more than just a project. Wouldn't it be cool if they knew what they were doing and he actually was a positive addition?

This is true. Another reason to hold off on a Brees extension until after the draft.

We picked arguably the best WR, DT and Safety in the draft. I think all of them will be starters this year.
