Beast, I think you are spot on. The lack of offensive line help is the most disappointing to me. Not that anybody we would have drafted would’ve been an immediate starter necessarily unless it was a first rounder, but I think having a new quarterback under center would have led me to get somebody very strong at right tackle.

I would hate for Love to get injured because of inadequate protection especially on the right side

Bahktari - Jenkins - Myers - Runyan - Tom, I would say this is a pretty good lineup.

Nijman is an average starter which is a luxury to have as a swing backup tackle. Newman and Hanson are not starter-level players, but good to have as backups.

And they have Ryan, Walker, Jones, and Tenuta as developmental projects. One or two of those guys could end up being decent starters.

Biggest surprise, I think fans might like the four picks in the 7th more than the four picks in the 5th/6th.

Round 5: No. 149 – Sean Clifford, QB, Penn State

Round 5: No. 159 – Dontayvion Wicks, WR, UVA

Round 6: No. 179 – Karl Brooks, DL, Bowling Green

Round 6: No. 207 – Anders Carlson, K, Auburn

Round 7: No. 232 – Carrington Valentine, CB, Kentucky

Round 7: No. 235 – Lew Nichols III, RB, Central Michigan

Round 7: No. 242 – Anthony Johnson Jr., S, Iowa State

Round 7: No. 256 – Grant DuBose, WR, Charlotte

Also with the new practice squad rules, Gute is doing things differently, such as keeping all the draft picks on the roster that he can (which was all of them last year) even the ines that looked horrible and giving them a redshirt year by using the new 16 man PS with two call ups each week to be versatile.

So I'm guessing a lot more than 2 will make it.

Another thought Packers took QB Sean Clifford over Vikings taking QB Jaren Hall.

And hearing one of the taking heads saying Vikings got a steal with Hall in the 5th. Both mobile QBs and a number of places didn't seem to think Clifford would even be drafted. Will be interesting to see which looks better in preseason games going forward.

Quote me now, Anthony Johonson in the 7th round is a steal. He wont be an immediate starter but he can easily be in the line up and take over a spot within a year or two.
