Just checking in to see if everyone is happy with the draft picks this year or not. I noticed we picked up a QB from Colorado. I didn't see that coming but I can sort of understand taking the chance.

I'll give the draft a C+ so many unknowns

I'm happy with it.

We got a lot tougher on D, got one of the top OL in the draft, got a steal in PJ Willaims (1st round talent), and finally have an heir at the QB spot.

Not a "sexy" draft, but got a lot of guys that can play.

I'm very happy.

This defense will be much improved and more physical.

Typical Loomis/Payton type draft...they very seldom, if ever, get value.
I really don't have faith in their drafting ability. Maybe this one will be different (I tend to say that every year).

I'd say B+. We finally picked more than one guy who will see the field immediately and stacked up on defense.

Anything C or lower is laughable. This was a great draft for us. I predict best one since 06.

Complete disagree with this. The only pick that you could even argue didn't have great value was Anthony but he would have probably been gone by 44 so I was fine with it.

Could end up as the best draft in the Payton era, IMO.

Anything but typical

I liked the value in this draft.

Unknowns meaning player I've never even heard of moron. You can't tell me we didn't draft at least 1 player you didn't know before today

The first 3 picks were higher than they should have been (I'll give them a pass on Peat. When Collins ran into trouble, that really messed up the OT position at the top).

After last years debacle, I've just become skeptical...that won't stop me from hoping for the best.

If you did a bit of research you'd know at least some of them. Tull was definitely talked about on here for example.

Maybe 1(the RB) but thats it.
