The only one that I didn't think was going to make it was Fej, but I think the only reason why he made it was because our depth at safety isn't that great. If you look at every other pick they have played great so far this preseason. Our first 4 picks were all amazing picks IMO, and our 5th and 6th rounders were very good picks as well. Westerman and Core both have easily outplayed their draft positions IMO (5th and 6th rounds).
In this specific case it came down to him vs. Jimmy Wilson. Neither really flashed in the preseason and were essentially on equal ground. In this case you have a known commodity in Wilson (since he's been around the league for a few years) and a young unknown player that may have higher upside with Fej. In this case I think it's the right call to go with the younger draft pick and give him some time in your system.
