Gotta let things settle down post draft. Right now better questions would be why many analysts (including PFF) missed the interest surge from all the teams in OL and LB which resulted in LB and OG/OT prospects flying off the board about a round earlier than projected.
As to our draft, I am still not thrilled with Stewart. I get the whole "freaky traits" thing but I also know the bust rate is much higher on "raw" and "project" picks especially in Round 1 so to me this should be a safe pick almost always. I hope he turns into Myles Garrett II but the odds are not in favor of it.
After Stewart I am happier with the rest of our haul. Both Knight and Carter are pro ready players and provide the LB unit with a giant injection of speed. And to be honest so does Stewart. Together this should help us when dealing with these dual threat QBs (for example). Fairchild and Rivers both are from big school pro programs and both excelled in College and were starters. This is a huge retooling of the Guard room and puts us in a FAR stronger position there than we have been in years. And Tahj Brooks gives us something again we haven't had in a long time - good pass protector but a big, powerful back who has a bit of speed and acceleration so he can actually break a chunk play.
