Overall: A- (Of course come back in 3 years because this is only on paper)
Round 1, Pick #1 - Joe Burrow QB LSU Tigers: A+
This comes down to sucking the right year when there’s a #1 overall QB worthy of the pick. Anyone can bust, but no one can fault us for taking Burrow with the first pick. It was either take Burrow or trade down.
Round 2, Pick #33 - Tee Higgins WR Clemson Tigers: A
First round talent falling to the second in a deep draft. I wish he had some more speed but he’s one of those big guys that can catch anything. He was also one of my favorites in this class so getting him at #33 was awesome. I was also in the LB/OL club for #33, but the 2 guys everyone wanted were still there later. One the LB class seemed weak and 2 the best offensive linemen were taken on a heavy run before we picked. So I do think this is a good case of BPA with a bit of need.
Round 3, Pick #65 - Logan Wilson LB Wyoming Cowboys: B+
I didn’t know too much of this guy, but I read a lot on him since the pick. 4 year starter, team captain, solid against the run and pass (former CB in HS). A lot of intangibles our LB corps could really use. My biggest knock researching him is limited athleticism.
Round 4, Pick #107 - Akeem Davis-Gaither LB Appalachian State Mountaineers B+
Needed to get a good OLB and I like what I see out of ADG. App State has been an up and coming program since they’ve moved up a division and he was a leader on some dang good mountaineer teams. I’m hoping he’ll add some more pressure in the pass rush.
Round 5, Pick #147 - Khalid Kareem LB Notre Dame Fighting Irish: C
He’s a fine depth player (yes we definitely need depth all over this team) but I would have like to have seen a lineman here even though that player probably wouldn’t make much of an impact this year. A meh pick for me I don’t hate it or love it.
Round 6, Pick #180 - Hakeem Adeniji OL Kansas Jayhawks: C-
I really wanted Prince Tega here. I’m sure he fell for a reason, but he seemed to have a high ceiling and this late why not pull the trigger. Oh well we will see what happens over time.
Round 7, Pick #215 - LB Markus Bailey LB Purdue Boilermakers: A
Actually a very solid choice in the 7th. Promising talent that was derailed by a big injury. A lot of guys late don’t stick, but if he can overcome that injury and be as good a prospect as people thought before the injury this is a major steal late.
