[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 664509, member: 2846"] Not a reach in the bunch as far as I can tell. With no dire needs, the Packers were able to pick BPA with every selection. I think the common thread in all of these players is they all are very dedicated and love to play the game. They all have significant upsides yet to realize. We should see a few starters and a stud or two from this lot. Nice work TT and staff. B+ Clark – I would have gone with another run stuffer – Reed. TT will probably be correct here. I was surprised that some scouts actually think Clark is a better run stuffer. This was our biggest need in my eyes going into the draft. And to our luck, the deepest position available. The biggest note that makes me think Clark is a better pick than my guy, is Clark is only 20 and appears to be still on the upswing. He should be good from the get go, and could very well develop into something special. Spriggs – I can’t figure out why he went as late as he did. He was very successful in college and tested extremely well. I had him in my contest in the 2nd, but wanted to delete him because I thought for sure he would be gone by our 1st round pick. Therefore, I am very pleased TT was able to get him. I had OL as our 2nd biggest need in the draft, so this worked out perfectly. Fackrell – I’m not sure what to expect from him. I think he will be good, although has a ceiling south of pro bowl level. He has a year of spelling Peppers and then can be expected to compete for the starting spot. I do love that he is try hard guy with a non-stop motor. Martinez – Cautious with this one. I don’t think he will be cracking the starting line up this season. Maybe if his superior coverage skills are as advertised, he can play in some of the passing situation formations. Was hoping we would go for more of the fast-angry-leader kind of ILB Lowry – The one pick I am not excited about. Not sure why, just don’t know that he will be more than average at best. This probably means he will blossom into a perennial pro bowler. Trevor – curious to see what he brings to the table. I read one review said he was extremely fast and quick, had some of the best hands in college football, and ran very good routes. Which leaves me scratching my head, why didn’t he have better stats? Can’t blame it on a bad QB, Goff went #1 overall. He was rated highly on some lists and not even listed in the top 50 on others. That makes him a good pick for late in the draft, gamble on greatness. A ‘safe’ pick at this point in the draft is probably a marginal NFL level player. Murphy – Great pick for late in the draft. Most had him listed much higher than where we got him. The game isn’t too big for him and I think he will be great insurance next year and likely primary backup at multiple positions. Noted UDFAs Brown – I am thinking he has a better shot than most to stick around. Has a very wide range of reviews. Some general observations: German WR was a good move by Minny. Not that he is a good player, but the Vikings pick up a few million fans in Germany. Watching the clips of the Kraut was not impressive. The level of competition appeared to be Div 3 level. Janis was further along coming out and look how long it is taking him to get his feet under him despite amazing physical skills. Jaylon Smith - Ordinarily if Jerry Jones does something I don't bat an eye thinking we should have done that. But in this case, the Cowboys surgeon is the one who performed the surgery. They should have the best information on him. However, Jerry was coveting QB Lynch so you know Smith is not a sure thing. Ordinarily I would root for Jaylon as a nice story, but now that he is a Cowboy, I won't be able to root for him. Wentz will have a better pro career than Goff. [/QUOTE]
