We had 8 picks and wanting to add depth in multiple positions but also knowing we may need to double dip in some areas. I was hoping to add a couple of picks throughout the draft. The QB market wasn't there and this most likely wasn't an option. So having 8 picks and needing to double dip in an area or two and probably having to sacrifice an area or two. How many groups do we add talent to 5 maybe?

Well after giving up 2 picks it feels like we added depth to 3 groups from where we were. We added the 2 safeties who have skills and potential to be utilized right away and a corner who should be used this year. Carter who I like and see the versatility the coaches are going for but that group probably got worse with the subtraction of Ogunjobi. Oline we added 1 4th rounder in the draft but to be fair the 3 in free agency so that group was undoubtedly improved.

So in summary CB, S and OL improved. But all other positions feel like they either are a push or got borderline worse. Am I being overly critical?

Not that you're overly critical... But where else were they gonna improve in this draft? TE possibly, and I suppose another pass rusher (Ossai) would've been nice. The draft is just a piece of the off-season, and I'm borderline ecstatic with how we've handled improving the roster.
