Since we used some of our picks to trade for vets; how they do will go towards grading this draft.

Yeah, Brian Robinson MIGHT start the season as RB1 but I don't think he'll end the season that way....

Ole Miss fanbase doesn't understand why Jared Ivey Edge was not drafted.

We have to get this guy!

But lots of people talking about him might be a bidding war :/

Safe to say that speed was the focus of this draft for the Commies.

Pretty much not a big fan of anything from day 3, but I do have to credit a grand strategy in place with the late 4th, 6th and 7th rounders they had to play with.

Every single pick was a mega athlete, or at least bare minimum, strong athlete positionally. Lane, the LB out of UCLA (who has the worst missed tackle rate like EVER??!?!?!), and even Jacorey who isn't so much Lane's level, but he's quite good. 71st percentile 40, 95th percentile burst/explosion score (broad jump+Vertical leap), his agility score sucked (19th percentile).

So it seems like with late round 4, 6 and 7ths they decided to aim for athletes above all.

I'm not sure what happened with the UDFA's, will need to research them.

Brian Baldinger (one of my fave nfl media guys) just gushed all over one of our mutual draft crushes---Skattebo. He really loves the guy. It will be fun to see how he shows up this season.
