Quote:The one thing that I took from last year's draft class was that Dave likes his weapons. That may or may not prove out to be correct, but it's the impression that I got.

 

Yes, he took Joeckel at #2 and LT isn't really a sexy pick, but look at the rest of that draft. He took an uber-athletic in-the-box Safety in Cyprien, a long cover corner in Gratz, and then a dynamic slot WR in Sanders. Then he takes Robinson with his Fifth Rounder then goes to rebuild his Secondary with every pick after. He even bypassed a quality Guard in the Third just to get himself a DB that can affect the game.

 

He's stated that this is a deep draft for Offense, so that leads me to believe that he feels like there are weapons to be had in this draft. While I personally love the idea of Mack or Clowney playing LEO here for the forseeable future, I'd lay money that Watkins is the guy if he's there at Three.

 

I don't see this as a "get the big uglies" type of draft; I think it's a get all the weapons you can type.

 

I think we/he may have thought we were slightly more set on the lines than we were. We had so many holes last year, I guess a lot of it was just going where the value was.

 

The OL had Monroe and Nwarnari who looked to be set, Rackley, Bradfield, Brewster and Paztor who all looked like they could take the next step and Meester who although old, was fine to hold the fort for a year.

 

The DL had Babin and Alualu, who although not world beaters were thought to be solid. Marks and Miller were both new FAs who there was some hope for and everyone hoped Branch and Davis could take the next step.
