Default Post Draft Analysis

Now that the draft is over, I get to see who I would've taken instead of the guys who were chosen. I am fine with Kevin Johnson, I just wanted a OLB and would have gone with Eli Harold, who somehow went all the way to #79. I would have considered Bud Dupree who also "slipped" to #22. Considering now that I saw what we traded to get Bernardick McKinney, I believe that it might have been better to simply take Stephone Anthony who was selected at #31. Or an even better idea, trade down, get extra picks, and then select your favorite ILB.

At #43, Eric Rowe was My Guy. He was selected by the Eagles at #47. In comparison, Rowe ran a 4.45 vs. 4.52 of Kevin Johnson. Rowe's 6.7 vs. 6.79 (Cone), Johnson had a better Shuttle 3.89 vs. 3.97. KJ also had a better vertical 41.5 vs. 39. Rowe is 3/4" taller and 17lbs heavier. I like taking Rowe in the 2nd so I can take Anthony in the first without trading up.

At #70 I also select Jaelen Strong. I am not a big fan of trading up for a player, but in this case it was worth it.

We had no 4th round picks - it would've been nice to take Bryce Petty here.

175 - I would have run up to the podium to select Anthony Chickillo. Apparently the Texans don't share my enthusiasm. They drafted someone I have never heard of at #211 and the Steelers take Chickillo at #212. We shall see. The Steelers take Bud Dupree and Chickillo, I found that interesting.

At #211 I have to go with WR Tre McBride. Couldn't believe that he was still available.

#216 Derrick Lott

#235 Zach Zenner. Lott & Zenner are UDFA, but I would have selected them.

I am also calling Mike Hull, Justin Coleman, and Antwan Goodley to sign them.

I would also inquire about the services of Kurtis Drummond, Cody Prewitt, Tyler Varga, Xavier Williams, Alani Fua, Shane Carden, Wes Saxton, and Marcus Rush.
