As previously stated I didn’t want Wilson, but after watching him progress in his rookie season I think we might have something. He’s gotta stop steering at himself in the mirror though.

Coming out there were 2 OGs that interest me . We traded up and spent considerable draft capital to acquire AVT . He was worth it .
Before the draft I thought the Jets were going to have the player the Jags didn’t take. I thought it was going to be Etienne with the Jags already having their RB . We got mad lucky because Eli Moore should have been in Jacksonville.

I spent an enormous amount of time scouting the other RB. from North Carolina because I thought Carter was a change of pace back . Boy was I wrong.

The other Carter was a mild surprise and there’s hope that Pinnock will take to the safety position and become a player for us .
Didn’t know what to expect from Echols but the kid hung in there and the old adage of not being able to teach speed payed off.
It was going to be a bumpy road for the 2 college safeties we were turning into LBERs, and it proved to be even more bumpy than anyone expected due to injuries.

All in all, to come away from a draft with 6 starters and possibly 7 has to be considered a successful weekend.
