So I had to work today...How's everyone feeling to-date about the haul???

First draft I've missed in a long, long time!

12 Picks, Rick out did himself...  B)

:/ we picked up one hell of a long snapper!

I'm a lot more comfortable about this draft in contrast to last years...

It was a schizo draft that I give a B.  A lot of A work (Bradbury, Smith, Samia, Udoh) sabotaged by the round 3 spinout and reach for a backup RB that we could have filled in round 5. 

Really, if they'd just taken WR Hakeem Butler at 102 (he went first pick today #103) and used the 5 on a RB I'd have given them an overall A.

Its crazy all of you with your panties in a bunch over Mattison. What if he was the highest RB on their list?  He’s very reminicent of past RBs who had success in Denver. 

Let the kid hit the field before we get the pitch forks for Rick.

Come on now, I quit wearing panties years ago... !

My impression is that it is not a "sexy" draft as the saying goes, but a pretty solid draft...From 5th round on, who knows, but I think at least one, maybe 2 of them will stick! Hope that 6th round OT they snagged will make it to the PS...pretty confused as to why they didn't use at least one of the 7th round picks on a QB if not a 6th. 

Also, I do think there was a few they were planning to take with certain picks that were gone before that particular pick.

I think we got Day 1 contributors with our first 4 picks, which is rare considering where we picked in each round...

Bradbury was an excellent pick and Irv Smith was a steal.  Bradbury will start and Irv will get snaps right away in our starting offense.

Mattison looks like a svelte Eddie Lacy (that's a compliment, not a dig).  Big back with nimble feet and a nice hurdle move.  Nose for the end zone and soft hands.  He'll get some touches this season.

Then we get Samia...  he might not start Day 1, but we always seem to have an injury or two (or three or four) along the OL.  I wouldn't be surprised if he beats out Kline at RG...  Great fit for our ZBS and we finally have some depth on the bench that can actually play...  BOOM

There are some nice developmental players amongst our 20+ Day 3 picks... The two WRs are intriguing the more I read up/watch and Udoh has a ton of raw talent.

Overall, I'd give it an A.

I am very happy with how it all worked out. I am wondering how much influence Kubiak had. No reaches or desperation picks. It's going to be interesting to see how they develop.
