Draft is a C- at best. Forte in the second?? he would have been there in the third if they wanted him?? why?? others who had more upside were available and what about a QB or top WR in the second and a RB in the third and the thing that bothered me most is the seventh round selection of Joey Larocque, slow and lacks athletic ability. Why not take a shot on a local guy like J Leman, all reports said he gives it his all every day.

Yea I had my Mock with us Picking Brohm if he was there with our second round pick. Really surprised we didn’t go after him. Well as they say you can’t grade a draft for at least three years. So let us hope we look back on this year and are pleased.
