Earl Thomas covers up a lot of mistakes in the Secondary. Ben Tate is my favorite All-Around RB. Geno Atkins can get in the backfield and blow up plays. Marshall has the combination between Size/Athleticism as well as being a relative "bargain" in the 4th round. Jefferson & Thomas have size and athleticism - but they will need some coaching. Lawrence is my prototypical WILL and since I didn't draft 'Spoon, I'll take a flyer here late. Ross is a big body to take on double teams, but he has some moves to get in the QB's face. I'm pretty happy with this draft.
