Lost of needs coming into the draft.
OT
QB
NT
DE
OLB
RB
WR
However you want to prioritize, your choice. But we came into the draft with pretty much this as our list of needs. Maybe C, and G if you think Hangman is subpar and doubt Wood. But no matter what order you satisfy this list, some are going to be taken in rounds 3-7. You can't get a 1st rounder for every need.
I think what we have done so far is transformed the demeanor and look of this team on both sides of the ball. And I think realistically we took guys mostly where they were the guy that could come in and either play or compete to play. Obviously there are some guys that we may have overlooked. But I think really really at the core of this, Nix and Whaley and Modrak, took the best player available and that could contribute at ONE of our needs when the pick came around. I am not sure they prioritized one need over the other. Looks like BPA at a need when we picked, and I personally think that is the right choice.
All things aside, Nix told you how he was going to do this, and what was important to him. Aside from Easley all these guys are pretty much seniors, team captains, and leaders who produced multiple years in college.
I have said this a couple of times now. WHY are you surprised. Nix told you exactly how this was going to go down from day 1. Just because you buried your head doesn't mean it wasn't going to happen. NOT A 1 YEAR JOB.
I am real happy with where we have gone since the end of the season.
