Yeah, I could be happy with this. I'll draft OL high in next year's draft.

OK, I've thought it over and have adjusted my board and compared it to THR's value board. I really want an OG to start, so this is what I got...


2---33--CB---Brandon Ghee
2---60--OG--Jon Asamoah
3---65--RB---Ben Tate
3---81--DT--Geno Atkins
4--104--DT--Linval Joseph
4--118--S----Darrell Stuckey
5--150--CB---Alterraun Verner
6--187--LB---Simoni Lawrence
6--197--OC---Joe Hawley
7--227--K----Aaron Pettrey

Asamoah probably improves the running game more than an extra RB in the 5th round. I get more run defense out of Linval Joseph than Houston. Stuckey is underrated in the passing defense, but he is servicable. At any rate, I like this one more.

One more time, as I adapt and improvise...

I don't think I can improve on this anymore. Pass rush, OL, Running game, Secondary are all addressed. I have JD Booty and Marcus Freeman already so no need for a QB or WILL depth. Perhaps I can get WR Scott Long and PK Aaron Pettrey as UDFAs. Maybe I'll even bring in P Mike Brandtner from Iowa State.
