Okay the booze has worn off since last night and after 8 hours of sleep and a shift at work, I had to take a minute and collect and gather all the information I could to come up with a clear, sober conclusion.
2/43: Everette Brown-Okay, I was very steamed when I found out we dropped a first rounder for this guy. I'm still a bit steamed about it. But for now, we've got a nice edge rusher, and my favorite defensive end out of this class. People are talking about how "undersized" he is at 255 but you can find quite a bit of very good DEs in the NFL that are in that weight class. Brown isn't going to be the guy to Bull-rush 330lb offensive tackles but he will use his technique to squirm out of their reach and make them tired trying to chase him.
2/59: Sherrod Martin-I saw the ticker say "S" for safety last night and now today it's "CB" so which fucking one is it? I'm not totally sure if we're going with him at FS instead of Godfrey and put him at nickel, or keep Charles at safety.
3/93: Corvey Irvin-You knew where we were going with this one, you just didn't know exactly who it was going to be. Roy Miller went a few picks prior and you could make a case that was the person they were aiming for but at some point, we needed to address DT, it was so fucking embarrassing last year. I don't think they're totally satisfied with what they got though, and they will probably filter through the pile of cap casualty defensive tackles that will be let go in the coming weeks.
4/111: Mike Goodson-Well with our other pick we got in the SF trade, we grab a running back. Well you know he isn't going to see much playing time barring injury, he's a change of pace guy who might have potential as a returner.
4/128: Tony Fiammetta-This is my one pick of the draft that actually happened. As unpredictable as the draft could be, I didn't underestimate their desire to stack the running game even more and Tony is no.2 of the 3 guys they got for that purpose. I like Tony, he's a physical tough-as nails concrete fucking panzer tank who will drop a mother fucker in run blocking. Plus he's a paisan.
5/163: Duke Robinson-I honestly do not know how this happened. I know there isn't much of a demand for OGs, and a lot of teams would rather draft a questionable OT to kick him inside at guard, but I read a shitload of mocks that claimed that Pittsburgh was going to take him or, generally, that he was going to be gone late first round. I know character plays a part in evaluation but I did not expect him to freefall down FIVE and a half rounds before the Panthers pulled the net out and caught him. I really dig this pick and probably the best value we got for him. Yes Everette Brown unexpectedly dropped too but we did actually spend a first rounder to get him.
7/216: Captain Munnerlyn-Sometimes you just pick at random, you ain't going to find much value at this point so why the hell not bring in a home-state player.
