What's "ew" about it? We've still got 1 3rd, 2 5ths, 2 6ths, and 2 7ths. Can basically give away our own 5th and both 7ths to move up at any point. Good value.

Listen, ILB was a huge need and I am definitely thrilled with Benardrick (wanted Perryman) & KJ, but at what point do we start to build our Offense? Our OL has holes, we lost last years #1 WR (would have been #2), got very little out of our TEs, and have an injury-prone RB that may ultimately be a cap casualty next year. Our defense was already Top-10 in the league... In the third I hope they pick one of Duke Johnson (unlikely), Clive Walford (unlikely), or Jamison Crowder.
