1. Soloman Thomas, DE - Stanford. Sure, we need to fix the offense, but the value in that is later on in the draft.
2. Dan Feeney, OG - Indiana. As good of a guard prospect as we've seen lately. Can also play center.
3. Pat Elflein, C - Ohio State. Plays center and guard. Should have the interior of this offense shored up.
3c. Joe Mixon, RB - Oklahoma. Talent-wise, as good or better than any back in the draft.
4. K.D. Cannon, WR - Baylor. Gives us the field stretcher that we need.
5. Zane Gonzalez, K - ASU. No explanation needed.
I'm not going to pretend that I know the rest of the 6th and 7th rounders to take a shot at them. I'm hoping that Dre re-signs and that Thomas gives us the pass-rushing boost we need.
First reaction is props for going defense early in this scenario and smh that Feeney's draftteck comparison was Zeitler. It's a great pick, and Thomas is an ideal DE that can ease in and then start. Elflein is in a lot of mocks and I think its more than a homer or Bodine hatred thing, the kid is versatile. Mixon is confusing to me, talent wise he's a steal but who knows what they think of him. You've got him at 3c make that 4a now. All I know about Cannon is the deep threat thing, I'll have to look at him more and I get the kicker idea. I really feel like they're going to take another LB here somewhere if they don't address it in FA. Burfict's style leads to big plays but possible suspensions and how many concussions does he have left in him? No matter what they think of Vigil's development I think there is another mid round LB in there, maybe a comp pick or McCarron deal. Overall, I'd take this but would feel MUCH better with Whit signed and a LB somewhere.
