Round one - backup to Malik Jackson
Round two - backup to Donte Moncrief
Round three - backup to Barry Church

Come on man, we've been waiting for nearly 20 years to be in a position to draft guys and give them the benefit of development before requiring them to play.

The past two seasons we have used free agency to fill the holes with impact players. And now we can finally begin preparing for the future.

Our draft picks appear to be of high to very high value compared to where they were picked. That means we are getting players that other teams passed on to fill needs.

We didn't have glaring needs this year, as in years past. There were a few spots (OG,TE...etc) that we as fans hoped to see bolstered, but the guys in the office are confident in the moves, or lack thereof, that they have made concerning those positions.

For the first time in a long time, we are finally where we have wanted to be.... The place where your draft picks aren't as sexy as the other guy because your team was better than his.

Soak it in.
