True, lots of guys are more than decent sideline to sideline in the first 3 rounds.
Just happy we have the first pick in them to grab one up. Murray, Baun, Brooks, Gaither, Dye, Queen etc.
Would be happy with any of these guys but want to wait on Queen until the 3rd if he is there.
Think Queen had too little production for the 33rd overall pick and he needs to gain power and learn to wrap up better.

Yes, these are different signings especially Reader.

I have no issues with dinging the front office, but, they deserve praise for these moves. This team, unfortunately, has to pay a premium for good players but they didn't let that stop them grabbing these two guys. It's refreshing to see not just any move in free-agency, but sound moves.
Nice post. These moves are not what I expected not at the positions I thought we should go but they are sound and show a
complete change in the way this FO usually operates. Always darkest before the dawn.

Yeah, Sean Lee would be a signing I would expect from the Marv era.
