Long story short, the talent in the 1st round is pretty poor. Guys like Scherff, Cooper, White and especially Flowers who went 5-10 probably would’ve went somewhere around 15-25 last year. Basically, I don’t think we were ever going to really make hay in the 1st round, that’s why I wanted to trade down so badly, and if we had done that and taken Jones at 35-40, I’d have been pretty happy.
Anyway, the point is that I think the area where you really have to hit in this draft is the 2nd-4th, if we can do that, and come away with something like Ajayi/Frank Clarke/Marcus Hardison or Michael Bennett/TJ Yeldon/Jamison Crowder, I’ll be pretty pleased overall. If we do some completely dumb shit like taking Maxx Williams or another CB in the 3rd or some nonsense, then it will just exacerbate the fact that I’m ok with the Jones pick but not really thrilled.
