I get folks are mad. I'm not sure why, we got some good prospects in positions of need
Agree! Needed edge help and they drafted a top 5 guy at #17.
Needed LBs with ADG gone, Pratt probably gone ect...They got 2 of the top #10 available backers!
Needed IOL and they got one plus a Swiss army knife offensive lineman, both may end up starters. Lastly, a young RB with some pop, that has had a lot of touches and doesn't put the ball on the turf.
You guys know that I usually *****, but I can't this time. I like the Knight pick. Makes quick decisions and is very disruptive, much like Stewart.
As for the "trade back contingent" not saying that I disagree, but it takes a trade partner to pull off such things. Golden just coached up a fairly pedestrian ND LB corps and got them to the NC game. He got his guys! I'm not singing praises from the rooftops about this draft, but it seems pretty damn solid after looking at the pieces that are already in place.
