3. Johnson - not a bad value for where he is drafted, I just happen to think he will be a bust. Maybe explore Kruger, Brown or Sidbury instead.
4. Jared Cook - good value.
On paper it looks like a decent value draft, but there isn't much help on defense.

Also, Crab, Britton and Johnson all start and contribute from day one. And if we trade Tony we need Crab to catch some balls. Cook should also contribute on passing downs. He is a superior receiver to Cottam. I think Johnson could be good if you let him do what he is naturally good at, which is rushing the passer, playing in coverage, and chasing the football. He will struggle when the offense runs directly at him bc of his difficulty in taking on blockers. I think you can hide his weaknesses to a point with using him as an OLB in the 3-4. He's got a huge upside as a pass rusher. He's 6'7" with long arms and ran like a 4.58 40 at about 270 #s. That's crazy. I really wanted Barwin, but I think he will go early in the 2nd.
