I thought Pioli would address the middle of the defense: NT, ILB and at least one rushbacker. Instead, he went with playmakers and very solid guard selection.
Regardless of what any of us wanted, everyone of those picks addresses a serious need. And if Moeaki can stay healthy, (something he wasn't able to do in college), he could be a steal.
I give this draft so far a C, which is much better than the F- I gave him in 2008.

Thank you! That is what I have been trying to say. Yes, I wish we would have gone for a NT at least. And we still might. But as you have correctly pointed out, everyone we drafted was a position that was a sore spot last year. And every single one of them except maybe the G will be on the field this year with a chance to make an impact in ways we could not last year. We just have too many sore spots right now is all. I gave it a B- but trading up to get the injury-prone TE brings it down to a C.
