[Whatever]

But I think the lack of A's may have other explanations. 

One, aside from the 6th round punter, Robbins, all our picks projectc as backups next year. Hard to give a draft an A when you pick 7 backups and a starting punter. Plus, we passed on the hometown kid who most people had as a super safe, can't miss TE prospect. A position of need. Kind of deflating for a lot of folk. 

Two, we did not land a HR guy. Wright, Forbes, Robinson, Kancey. Maybe even Gibbs or Kincaid. Singles & doubles screams B/B+. 

Lastly, we didn't draft or acquire anyone who would allow us to shed a high salary guy & make additional moves. RT or RB. 

Murphy was a home run pick.  He just wasn't a guy that was on a lot of people's radar.
