Personally, I think it was a good draft because we did hit on at least 3 future starters in Price, Bates and Hubbard. Maybe a 4th starter if Jefferson can improve. Any draft that you can get 2 starters out of is pretty good imo.

I still have very high hopes for Price and Hubbard.  Bates was the best selection they made, and let's not forget they also got Glenn by trading back and selecting Price.  Whether he was that great or not, he filled a huge hole left by Whit that Ogbuehi was a complete waste of space in trying to do the same thing.

Jefferson, I have no idea.  He was panned for a lack of instincts and looked like the classic athlete, not football player.  If he couldn't get on the field last year, I don't know how lost he must have been in practice.

The young DBs show promise.  Definitely need depth here.  

The most puzzling pick to me was Walton.  We had a couple RBs that shined in preseason and I thought had earned some playing time now that Sexy Rexy was gone.  This kid will always be the pick that should have been Orlando Brown, which would have given us the biggest Tackle tandem in the NFL.
