[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 1034121, member: 2846"] Not overwhelmed, not underwhelmed. I am ‘appropriately whelmed’. I thought we should spend 2 picks on the OLine in the first 3 rounds. Deep draft for OL and we needed an infusion of talent. These ratings are looking at the pick, and not the player. That is, I think King was a very good pick doesn’t mean I think he will have a career on par with Cooper. I think that in the 7th round you take some swings at the plate for a homer, and he has a chance to be an impact player. [B]Great[/B] Javon Bullard S – Thought he might be the best safety to fit our system. I think Cooper DeJean would have been a great pick because he more prototypical size and is more athletic. But Bullard has the attitude/intstincts and more than adequate physical skills. Gute stated after the draft that they didn’t miss out on anyone. That he was thinking he might need to trade up, but staff told him to wait it out and it worked out just how they anticipated. This meant that DeJean was not a target and the plan was to get Bullard all along. I believe him. Jacob Monk C – Another player I knew nothing about. Unanimous ‘want’ by the FO.
