I really wasn't overly pleased with it as it happened, but looking at it as a finished product on paper makes me feel a bit better.
Love the Jonah pick. it was the absolute correct move. Like many others, I question the Sample pick. Maybe they found something with him. Who knows? I'd much rather have gotten Paris Campbell or Zach Allen there, but whatever.
Pratt was a need.
Getting Finley in 4 was a nice surprise, as many mocks I saw had him in 2, and I was convinced he'd eventually be a Bengal. Makes up for the Sample pick to some extent.
Don't know a lot about Wren. I really wish they'd have invested an earlier pick in the d-line.
Love the Jordan and T. Williams picks. I think Jordan will be a fine starting RG at some point, maybe sooner than we expect. It's just an opinion, but I saw one draft site say he was a bigger, more talented James Daniels. If that's true, then that was a coup of a pick. Trayveon was a really good value where they got him.
The rest is whatever. The Auburn kid doesn't impress me, but maybe he'll be good enough combined with Pratt to knock Hardy off the roster. Lord, I hope so.
I give it a B- for now. A lot of good could come from it. My biggest qualms are with Sample in 2 and very little to get excited about as far as improving what was arguably the worst defense in the NFL. We got a nobody in Anarumo to lead them after whiffing on 6 other guys. We got a couple of bottom feeders in free agency. Now we have a 3rd round backer and 4th round DT as the only real additions in the draft. That's not overly encouraging when it comes to urgency IMO. I think they needed to do better fixing the DL, LB corps and the coaching. Hopefully I'm dead wrong about this, but it seems like denial of a problem form a cumulative perspective.
