I was happy with the results of the draft. Loved the first pick. And honestly, Sample could end up being a great pick. For our style of offense, a run blocking tight end is a need. Sounds like he can catch and get open, too--we'll see. It'd be nice to get a Heath Miller, Jason Witten type tight end. Someone big that can block and make good catches on 3rd downs.
The rest of the draft I felt like we made some good value picks, and picked some good boom or bust players late as well. Got a couple backs to compete for the 3rd spot. Got another guard. Our offensive line looks a lot better than a week ago. We've got potential. And we added a couple linebackers that were captains on their respective clubs.
You can tell the coaching staff tried to draft leaders...leaders that are smart and want to learn and get better. That was the common theme I witnessed. You could tell how much Jonah Williams, particularly, wants to be great. You have to want it to get anywhere. A lot of the players that flame out in this league don't really want to put in the work and learn how to get better. The elite players are constantly learning and improving.
Not a sexy draft. But we drafted a lot of really good team players--players that have more of an impact than people know. A trench draft is never sexy, but it all starts up front. Also, I like the Wren pick. We've been missing a big guy since Peko left. Hopefully Wren ends up better than Peko. Our run D needs a big body at DT.
