Quick thoughts so far-

1) Really like the Oliver and Ford picks. Oliver was clearly best available and you can not have enough depth/impact players on the d line. Hell the Giants won two Super Bowls based on that as a strength point. I have no idea whether Oliver is going to be Kyle Williams or Adolphus Washington...but he absolutely has the athletic ability. Re: Ford, I am not the best arbiter of o-line talent as I once claimed that Cyrus Kujo was a steal but plenty of folks had Ford with a first round grade. I like that Beane didn’t trade up, good value for the pick.

2) Zero idea why you draft RB in the third round unless you think this kid was the best available. I am skeptical that he is Shady’s long term replacement...but hope to be wrong.

3) TE looks athletic but we will have to see how he plays, looks like Ole Miss primarily used him as a blocker. Not crazy about giving up both fours but if he produces no one will care.

4) Today I would focus on depth, I don’t think they are going to find a difference maker at WR in the fifth round+, but secondary or lb depth is always a good idea.

All in all lots of reason to be optimistic (like we are every single year), but ultimately a lot of this is going to hinge on Allen’s progress as a QB. Between this and the Cuse it is going to be a long summer waiting for football season...
