Draft bomb

Probably my worst set of picks ever. The more I try to research the worse I do. Either way it is for fun, but what wasn't fun was watching the Lions pick. Fine, I can accept the fact that they picked Stafford first. I am not thrilled about it, but whatever. However the tightend pick of Pettigrew leaves me scratching my head. I am sure that he is going to be a good TE but a good TE isn't going to help us that much. Why didn't we get a OT or LB? What about DT or DE? Shoot, why not move back? As for Delmas at 33, fine. You need safety, I like Western Mich, so this is probably a good fit. Not sure if there was a better safety or position player. That said, I thought they would have went with Rey Maualuga or Laurinaitis, or Ebon Britton or William Beatty.

So that I can look back and see if I can pick talent, I will record who I would have picked at these spots.

1) Eugene Monroe

20) Rey Maualauga

33) Jarron Gilbert

There you go. Let's check back in 2 years.

"I am sure that he is going to be a good TE..."

I think that you might be a tad too optimistic here.

I think he will be a good TE. First it is not something we needed. Second, it is a low bar. Third, we will lose regardless of him being there.

I am pretty happy with the late round selections (except for RB). The DT, OT, and OLB are pretty tight value picks. If nothing other than adding to the rotation I would be content with them. The first few rounds are where I am disappointed.
