While I liked our draft, and give them an A-.....reason is because it's so frustrating to listen to R. Smith lie about their draft philososphy. He's been quoted so frequently as saying they always go for best available player, but this was a blatently and strictly a needs oriented draft. When guys like Bray, D'rick Rogers, Poyer, Joe Kruger, and K. Reddick are still on the board, we select fairly unknown products in the 6th....
Of course we know some have baggage and what not, and we aren't privi to the same information as the teams, but to spend a 6th on a talent like Kruger, Poyer, or Rogers the risk would be , IMO, less than spending the same pick on a lesser known talent from an inferior level of competion.
With all that said, we've seemed to plug a lot of holes in our roster. The first 3 rounds were excellent picks, I imagine 4 starters for week one.
