Not a big fan of Harrison Smith or Ben Jones. I'd probably upgrade those with the best passrusher who fell to Round 2, and Chapman in the 3rd.

I agree with most of this. Harrison Smith has great discipline, he's a sure tackler and brings a good bit of size to the table. I haven't seen enough of him in coverage, especially deep and man to man to really like that part of his game.
In the highlight video, it seems most of the interceptions came to him b/c of his discipline and being in the right place at the right time for high, low or errant throws.
Also, the BIGGEST problem I have with this, is that we do not NEED a safety this early. Guys want to act as though Kendrick Lewis is still just a 5th round scrub. In fact, he has shown that he is more than up for the challenge. I think he's played very well his first two seasons. It didn't look pretty the first few games this last season, but I'm sure his role and responsibility as well as comfort level changed quite a bit when Berry went down.
