1. Will Jackson, CB  A+  Obviously best player on the board, at that time.
2. Tyler Boyd, WR   A  We got a good talent at a position that took a hit this offseason. 
3. Nick Vigil, LB  C-  At first glance, he looks like a good pick, according to his size and speed.  However, when I read things like more athletic than powerful, lacks stopping power, loses step when flipping hips in coverage, etc.  I wonder, Why?
4. Andrew Freaking Billings, DT  B+ for picking up a DT with a 1st round projection in the 4th.  Why did he fall?  I read things like "relies too much on forward lean, ends up on turf too often".
5. Christian Westerman, G  C  Meh, sure we can always use OL depth.  Still many better players on board at this time.
6. Cody Core, WR  A+  Tall, wicked fast, huge hands.  This guy is going to be a difference maker.
7. Clayton Fejedelem, S  D-  Who?  NFL or CBS didn't even have a scouting report on this guy.

Looks to me like we covered every position we needed to cover. I expect to see us add Roger Lewis and a RB or 2 as UDFAs.

I voted B+ for the overall grade.
