For Mecole.
I liked all of these players and thought both DK and McLaurin were 1st round talents.
I don't understand this pick still. Same as CEH who I actually did like...but Swift and Jonathan Taylor were still there.
As for DE, Speaks was a bad pick but it wasn't like we were passing obvious stars for him.

And AJ Brown was right before him.
I'll never understand the CEH (or any RB #1) pick with a team that had so many future holes. I will give Reid a pass on CEH because he's had very good success drafting RB in Philly and KC with Hunt.
And Speaks wasn't a 3-4 OLB and he probably wasn't a 3-4 end (undersized). He had no position under Bob Sutton's defense. Everything I saw had him as a 3rd-5th rounder. Mel Kiper liked him...But yes, I agree, there weren't many great picks after him.
