I am in the B/B- range.
I loved Mims & Jenkins.
I liked Jackson and Lee a LOT.
In isolation, I would have liked McLachlan a lot. One of the ESPN guru's had him in the top 5 TE's (Kiper?). Great value there in the 6th. But drafting 2 TEs (after signing Gesicki and Sample and Hudson) does not make a ton of sense to me.
I don't care for the Burton pick. Though I'll acknowledge there is potential upside there. A lot. But I do not buy him in the slot & view him as more of a Higgins replacement/hedge. Which would mean we really did not replace Boyd. The slot eould be Jones/Irwin. Chase in the slot sometimes?
The Ole Miss guys are meh for me. Likely PS. Which is fine for 6th/7th round guys. But I did not think we needed a DE (Guard or RB or LB), especially a raw one. But he does have decent traits. But Johnson seems like Gunter 2.0 to me. And I seriously doubt he beats out Ossai or Sample to make the roster.
Likewise Anthony is a versatile DB but we've had trouble finding a use for Hill who has similar versatility. If Ivey/Anderson are healthy (big if), we just have too many DBs (12). Maybe he could beat Davis out.
Newton os alright as a versatile/high floor guy with great intangibles. He's a captain (as were Jenkins, Jackson, and All). But I thought there were some higher ceiling guys available earlier, which brings me to....
All. Nothing against the player. Iowa is a TE factory. Captain at Michigan. But golly, his injury history is worrisome AND we could have gotten him later, methinks. Or used this pick on other needs (OG, RB, CB). I loved Punter Tory Taylor from Iowa who went in the 4th. Way too rich for my blood. But would have almost preferred him to All in the 4th.
We helped ourselves in a lot of areas. And if Burton & All hit, it will look great. But I am worried about not getting OG help. I am worried about counting on Hill to be a factor at CB. I thought we missed a gooden opportunity to upgrade slot WR. And as much as I like Jackson & Jenkins, neither is DJ Reader.
