Love the first 3 picks, but other than Hawes, I didn’t see much I really like after the 3rd rd.
I hate that we didn’t get a speed receiver to take the cover off the D especially with so many sitting there in the 4th rd. Also don’t like missing on a real safety with 3/4 of our safeties on one year deals.
Drafting 3 CB is a pretty big indictment on the quality of our depth beyond Johnson and Benford. Dane Jackson and Ingram aren’t surviving camp.
Grade A for the first 3 picks.
Grade C- for the rest. Overall a B.
My biggest take from this draft is that management has no faith in our CBs beyond Johnson and Benford. If I were Jackson, Ingram and Codrington I’d have my agent putting feelers out.
The whole purpose of this draft is to rebuild the defense while remaining competitive. We did this with the offense by adding Kincaid, Coleman, Cook, Davis, Torrence, and Spencer Brown.
Now we are doing it with the defense.
Those two were so unlike Beane. I'm honestly shocked that he didn't void at least one of their contracts, especially now that we are loading up on DL in the draft.
Very crowded DL room with Jones, Oliver, Rousseau, Bosa, Carter, Solomon, Lodge, AJE, plus draftees Sanders, Jackson and now Walker. Then add the 2 suspended players in Ogunjobi and Hochet. That’s a lot of bodies for only 9-10 spots
