[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 832172, member: 10441"] [B][B]Favorite Pick/Biggest Immediate Impact- Darnell Savage, S, MAR. [/B][/B]He's my favorite pick. I just think he's going to be paired with A real pro in Amos and he has the range and real football skills to come away with some huge plays for us on defense. He'll take his lumps as all young defensive secondary guys do, but I really like what he brings to the table. He's also my pick for Biggest Immediate Impact. With the work done up front, and in back with Amos, his ability to cover ground and play the ball are going to give a handful of extra possessions to this offense in year 1.
