Why Do You Like This Draft!

I said it in another post, but we were 1 injury away last year in the secondary from being very vulnerable.  We've been signing street free agents to 1 year deals to provide depth.  For the most part it's worked out, but we needed to add a ton of youth and athleticism to that group - and we did.

My only minor complaint is Carter and Volson.  However, I think once Carter focuses on 3T he may be a much better player than his tape at Florida showed.  Volson, I didn't have him on the radar at all - and none of my draft guides that I read even included him.  Oh well, maybe he can surprise us.

I was guilty of sleeping on Daxton Hill before we drafted him as I had my favorite in Jaquan Brisker who I watched play a lot 
last year but Dax is much more versatile and is a much better tackler than Brisker. After we drafted Dax and I started watching 
tape I fell in love with the pick, he can play outside Corner with his speed, Slot Corner with his quicks and tackling and either 
Safety spot right off the bat.

Carter I can understand a complaint on as he needs some work to become a true 3-tech and there were other already true
3-tech's on the board at the time like Perrion Winfrey who I wanted. Problem with Winfrey though is he is not a good run 
stopper and can get washed out of plays. We will see who will be the best pick in our Division.

Volson might be my favorite sleeper pick in the Draft, small school and all. Love this pick, dude plays mean, physical, with 
size and strength. Glass Eater just like Pollack said he wanted here. If Carman's back is in anyway a problem either Volson or
D'Ante Smith could start at LG and both could play well and it wouldn't surprise me. Really high on both these guys.
