Zac Taylor still hammering down his culture change with high character players as most of the picks were captains of there teams.
I have never seen a team try to completely change a side of the ball almost overnight like Zac and Lou have and completely overhaul 1 position group, probably only going to see Pratt as the one familiar face next year.
I really feel like we came away with 3 starters and 3 rotation players making high impact. Hakeem needs some time to develop into a guard but the talent is there.
I really wished we went in a different direction in round 5 and selected a guard like Simpson, but when you really need to stop the run, and you want a dude that can set the edge, Khalid Kareem can and will do that.
ONLY ONE pick was sexy this year and that was Tee Higgins. Literally every other pick was need or a building blocks for the defense.
Not rating anything. I want to see this defense stop Baltimore.
Well said Gdale, just have to say this about Simpson, not a good pass protector and has lots of penalties.
Could be another Redmond for all we know.
I actually like Onwenu better the Guard that the Pats got. Mauler but that doesn't look like the type Turner is after.
