I liked all of the picks except for 1. I don’t like the Brian Hartline pick. Bad stats, nothing special on tape.
The bigger problem here though, was the guy they passed up on, NT Sammie Lee Hill, picked a few spots later. That’s who I wanted, and was good value and filled a need.
Other than that, no real complaints. DE Jarron Gilbert and OLB Michael Johnson could have been taken instead of White/Turner. But I like White/Turner.
And since we didn't sign Michael Johnson, we can always re-sign OLB Jason Taylor for one year if we want; or go a variety of other directions.

Sean Smith was the corner I wanted. Vontae Davis was good value, as well. I wouldn't be surprised if both are starters (with 1 at Nickel). Davis seems like a trash talker, but confident. I kind of like him, liked the tape.
Pat White was the fastest, most mobile qb in the draft. I didn't target him, I kind of liked Graham Harrell (who is slow). We'll see if White turns into a mobile Young/Montana/McNabb/Michael Vick ... or if he turns out to be Marcus Vick. I do like the pick, though, even if I wouldn't have made it.
