I think wanting a WR round 1 is a bit of a knee jerk reaction that even I was a part of. We have some nice weapons in the passing game with Maclin, Conley and Kelce. Maybe OT will be the bigger need round 1 with our struggles at RT.

Seems like a good athletic WR is always there in round 2

This team needs to continue stacking talent everywhere. They're as deep as any team in the league, so we honestly just need to continue until the roster is bullet proof against injury. The biggest problem without question is at WR with Maclin down -- which will happen, as he has a lengthy injury history.

I'll freely admit this is a pure need pick; I'm ultimately in favor of going with your big board, but I don't really have one yet.

wow, that would be a dream draft for me! hits almost every position of need with a great player.

Think the price for Berry is a bit high for what he does now but want to keep if possible.

Think we have to get something at the ILB spot as DJ has definitely lost a step IMO but would keep him short term for sure.

Quality work as always....I think you left Phillip Gaines off the roster at CB....

Dumb question - when can we start signing our own free agents? Is that on March 9th, first day of the 2016 season or are we allowed to start signing our own players before then?

No ILB? ILB is a big need on D.

This

Other than that, not a bad effort (I'm totally talking out of my ass since I don't know half of the names of the draftees you listed, lol)
