Well they certainly were in position, and did trade up 3 times in the draft. All for current-year picks as expected though, Jones and Finley still on the roster and will likely remain there for the season.

So play2win, how do you feel about the draft? From this thread it would seem like they went out and got exactly what you wanted, 2 DL and 1 impact OLB. You were just about right in that Ted got 3 picks in the top 60; 28, 51 and 62.

I do think this signals the end of the line for Donald Driver, as a player with Gurley's talents can't be kept off the field. That is a kid that needs pro reps, real time. When you consider this, our O is probably better too, no offense to Driver. I love that guy, and think he could easily play another two years at a high level.

Yeah, super happy with those first two rounds, and with the rest of it. You know how sometimes you just know the greatness of a draft? Like in 2009? I mean, you just knew it. And other drafts, you shake your head and go, "man, O-Kaaaayyyyy... I get it, but I hope this works..." For me, Ted had one of those drafts last year. This year feels way more like 2009. Pretty good players there, and great value. Super stoked!!!

Figure, how many starters out of this? I'm thinking all of the first 3, and McMillian making it 4. Normally, 3 starters gives you a great draft.

Super early. Super stoked!

It was uncharacteristic for Ted Thompson to trade up 3 timees, but if you look at the trades, none of them were really outrageous and all of them represented good-great value, which is rarely the case with trading up. In that sense it wasn't all that uncharacteristic. They ended up with 8 total picks and 3 in the top ~60, you can't really fault that at all, for trading up 3 times it was actually a very low risk draft, no future picks given up, no high picks given up, no established players given up and he still ended up with more than the standard 7 picks. Those compensatory picks really let Ted Thompson be flexible.

I would have liked to see someone on the OLine drafted before the 7th, but other than that I can't complain at all. Great to see so much attention given to the defense and especially the pass rush.

Agreed. I was saying before the draft that our 3 priorities are:
1) pass rush,
2) pass rush,
3) OL
