So the three picks that they've made have ranged from good to awesome.

We've talked Booker ad nauseum, but Ezeiruaku is someone who I would've considered if we had ended up trading down to 25, getting him at 44 is ridiculous and I think it might end up being our best 2nd rounder in a very long time.

Revel I would've been fine with in the 2nd if the board was a certain way, getting him in the 3rd isn't a massive steal like Ezeiruaku but it's still a very good pick.

But this is the problem when you box yourself in by half-assing FA, even though they've made three very good picks we're still sitting here with pretty big holes at RB, WR and DT.

I don't even know what the hell these guys are going to do with 7 freaking picks tomorrow but I'd be looking to package several of those to move up into the late 4/early 5 range.

Sure Ez is a great pick, but there was an even better DE there to take as well.

I think that blurb about Schott wanting high character players was spot on. All three picks are pretty impeccable there.

Dr Cooper did the surgery on Revel FYI... Of course he does like all the top surgeries.

Something did change. Last year we drafted almost totally for need, this year we didn't at all.

Revel in the third seems good.

I mean he is pretty far a long in the knee recovery. He should be good to go. Dude was a first round pick before that. 4.3 speed, size and length. I actually think he could be a home run pick. And I'm not a corner guy, but that's too good to pass up.

I preferred Green for sure but not by a mile, I probably had Green around 15 or so and Eze around about 25-30.

But it's obvious that the off-field stuff scared away a bunch of teams, so even though I think Green is more talented I don't blame them for passing him up when damn near the rest of the league passed him up twice.

Yeah close for me. Probably a little better overall college resume than Green. Longer arms and all that stuff. But I think Green has better pure speed. Either guy would have been a steal in the second.

EZ is safer though because of the charecter.

DC.com saying the Browns/Jaguars trade was agreed upon 3 weeks ago, but contingent on Cam Ward's availability.

So Browns don't get Cam Ward and still pass on Shadeur.

Mel Kiper losing his shit over Sanders still being available. It's almost embarrassing.

I wouldn't exactly say that. All three were needs. Just not as glaring of needs as RB, WR, and DT.

I mean corner was a pretty big need. I don't know that Diggs will be ready for the season. We lost Lewis. We are basically using Carson and a first round bust. So if Revel is good to go for camp that fills a big need.

RG was kind of a need. DE end too. We had plenty of options at those positions. But not sure any of them would be probowl caliber talents. Hopefully we got a dude with double digit sacks potential and a dominant run blocking guard. Those were small needs but hopefully we got guys who can be great instead of meh starters.

RB is scary thin, WR is scary thin, DT is scary thin. Those were and still are major needs. I feel OK at RB still if these retards do their job. I feel like we could still get a damn good DT.

WR by the time we get there we are just throwing darts like we have with the other 4 or 5 receivers already on the roster not named Lamb. I'd still probably throw a dart but who the fuck knows. Odds aren't great.
