[QUOTE="Krabs, post: 1034056, member: 15739"] Big draft for the defense. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this draft. The only thing that I would have liked to see would have been DL being addressed. Looks like they will have to sign some guys there or bring in undrafted free agents. 1. OL Jordan Morgan: I didn't know much about him. Looks like they expect him to be a starter. I did think they would go OT first. Just thought it would be a different dude. Fills that need on the OL. I'll just trust Gutey on this one. 2. LB Edgerrin Cooper: I absolutely love this pick. I think this dude is a day one starter. They tend to ignore ILB and with Quay on the other side this could be scary. It should shore up that porous run defense too. 3. S Javon Bullard: Another great pick here. I bet this guy ends up being in the slot as opposed to safety. I think that is why they took Evan Williams in the 4th round. Bullard is an excellent athlete and I think a day 1 starter. 4. RB MarShawn Lloyd: Another pick that I love. At his size and speed he should be hard to tackle. Personally, I think he will be getting more carries than Dillon by the end of the year. At the very least, this guy will be a contributor all season. 5. LB Ty'Ron Hopper: Looks like a special teamer to me. I think they drafted him due to his run stopping ability. However, I would have liked DL here. I don't see this guy contributing and it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even make the team. Although, they like to hold onto their guys they drafted. This one is the weird pick to me. 6. S Evan Williams: I like this pick too. As mentioned before, I think this guy fits the more classic safety role. I would have loved to see McCormick here, but they addressed the inside OL with Monk, which is another pick I love. They moved up to get this guy, so hope this works out. 7. Jacob Monk: Love this pick as well. Three time All ACC, team captain, a ton of experience. Not much more to say. Fills a need and deepens the depth on the OL. 8.
