Obviously CMIII was a masterstroke, and Raji should be an anchor for years. We'll have to see how guys like Lang, Wynn and Johnson pan out before we know how good this draft was. If Lang is as good as Sitton, that would be huge. I suspect Wynn may be the darkhorse of this draft. Underwood has talent, but I'm hoping he's not another Mike Hawkins.

Hey Joe.

Gotta think this is TT's best draft and kudos for him to have the stones to go get Clay Matthews

I think this draft will end up looking like TT's best. Its looking like Mathews will be the second best player he has ever drafted behind Rodgers, Raji will be a force for years, and I am convinced Lang starts next year somewhere. Jones may not be a stud, but he looks like a decent NFL starter if he improves at all from this season.

Only time will tell, but I really think he hit homers with 3 guys and its the first year....others could still emerge.

Quinn Johnson has been making a big difference since seeing more snaps. He's had a lot to do with (at least) most of Grant's recent big plays.

Agree with you on Matthews. 10+ sacks as a rookie is huge and none of them have really been gimmies. Dude is just straight up beating tackles around the corner. He's only going to get better (and scarier)... huge, huge pick by TT. I liked the guy but wasn't sure on compensation like most of you weren't. TT must have expected exactly this... or Capers pushed it. Hmmm, I'd like to know the story some day.

True, I overlooked the Capers factor, but I read somewhere that TT said he had CM3 rated as the best pass rusher in this draft. Regardless, I'm becoming a Dominator fan in a hurry.

yup, that took huge stones for TT to make that trade in order to draft mathews

and i would have been the first one with a torch if mathews hadn't turned out to be an absolute beast

but he nailed it
