I especially like that they didn't do like some in here and elsewhere wanted, pick O Line early - or at all. Ditto that for Interior D Line and ILB.
I wanted a Edge Rusher, and they got one in the first, apparently Van Ness is really athletic a lot like Gary. Both Wooden and Brooks seem more pass rush specialists - either inside or outside rushers or both. I'm satisfied that we are solid inside with Clark, Wyatt. and Slaton and maybe Ford.
I didn't particularly like Reed or the other two WRs. Reed and one of the others apparently have a history of dropping passes, and small and not so fast isn't as good as big and fast, even for a slot guy. I'm hopeful, though, that Reed may be better than he seems as a WR and that he may be a decent punt returner.
Contrary to what I read from a lot of media pukes and some in here, I like the Clifton pick. If Love got hurt or floundered, I could actually see Clifton stepping in and doing a good job. Neither he nor Love is Aaron Rodgers, of course, and I still can't get over being pessimistic, but the rest of the team IMO is just as loaded as it was during the 13-4 and 14-3 seasons, maybe more so.
I like both TEs, Musgrave better than Kraft simply because he's gonna be both a big play guy and a possession receiver - if Love is any good at getting the ball to him. If Kraft is that big mean type and can block at least a little like Marcedes Lewis, great, and it sounds like he can handle catching passes too. I expect both of these guys to get more use than Deguara, who will probably not do much more than play fullback in some sets.
I'm not thrilled about the Kicker they drafted. The fact that he faded after having an ACL injury is a negative to me. On the other hand, maybe they know something - that if he's fully recovered, he is good.
