I’d compare this draft to buying a dishwasher
You didn’t really want to do it, and you won’t brag to your friends about it, but it’s something you had to do for the future

It was our best draft since 2017. It won’t come close to being that good but a lot of people don’t give the 2016 draft enough credit.
There weren’t a ton of sexy picks. Rankins was a solid piece for us but he was a DT and that pick was viewed a lot like the Fuaga pick. Not sexy but necessary. Then our next three picks were Michael Thomas, Vonn Bell and Onyemata. Most of those guys were really good to great players for us.
Thomas and Bell were obviously 2nd round picks but Onyemata was a 4th. It wasn’t a home run draft like 2017 BUT it got us started back in the right path. We may not end up with any All Pro type players from this class like Thomas, but the type of players we took were def above average starter caliber types like Vonn Bell, Rankins and Onyemata and those go a long way in rebuilding a roster.
