Reaction to Draft: exceeds, meets, or meh

[Bangee7]

I'm gonna go right in the middle with Meets.

There weren't a lot of big names taken, but we also went into the draft with a few chambers of the gun empty. I think being able to get an extra pick or two was good management.

I believe Free Agency addressed many of the pressing needs. The coaches saw everyone in mini camp before the draft.

So I feel they went into this draft trying to add better players that can develop over time, not feeling like they needed an immediate starter.

I watched Coach Gruden's recap and he genuinely felt good about the players drafted.

The issue with a lot of the internet & TV draftniks is that they don't necessarily interview players and coaches of the players. They watch tape, analyze measurables, etc.

Not that tape/measurables/injury history isn't important, but I'm gonna give our FO/scouts a little leeway and trust that they followed their board.
