Total Grade: A
Best pick: Williams. Was a great value (even picking early) at a position of need that will help solidify the weakest part of our offense.
Worst pick: Can't really find one.
Sleepers: People are underestimating Sample and I think he could do big things for us.
I think Pratt could be the playmaker we need at backer.
Wren could also be an animal.
I think that just goes to further prove that Mike Brown has no influence in the draft or really any football operations anymore because he was always the one that took chances on troubled players (to be fair, I think that's what his dad believed in, too, but Mike was just too extreme with it and took the wrong chances).
Exactly, but Sample's a lot more talented and can do so much more.

I notice that this new coaching staff did not take players with troubled past and that they all seem to be football junkies. Seems to focus more on fundamental pieces and non skilled players.

Reggie Kelly. He was awesome workhorse but not really noticed by fans.
