highlights: called Henderson to Jags and Wilson to Titans. decent job at the top of the draft though got the receivers and OL draft order completely messed up.
Lowlights:very meh performance at the bottom of the round. didn’t think Terrell, Arnette, Reagor, Igbinoghene, Ruiz, Brooks, Gladney and Edwards-Helaire were going in round 1. 24/32. Oh well!
Epenesa, McKinney, Gross-Matos, Jones, Mims, Baun , Fulton and Swift we’re my first round picks instead.
Silver lining: all the above plus Delpit, Diggs, Dobbins, Akers, Higgins, Shenault, Claypool, Blacklock, Kmart, Chinn, Dugger, Taylor, Winfield, Greenland, Biadasz, Cushenberry, Cleveland, Davidson, Lewis, Okwara, Hunt, Hall, Johnson, Hamler, Pittman, Gallimore, Uche, Weaver and Anae still left for us in rounds 2 and 3.
While I continue to believe our best strTegy is to sit back and let the draft come to us - that is just not Beane’s style - I expect to see us trading up using our existing players and trade chips to go after players he has a first round grade on - for example, Beane might go one of our CBs plus second rounder to get Diggs / McKinney or Murphy plus 2nd to get his preferred Edge or even Beasley plus third to get Mims or Shenault.
