Overview: Mediocre draft overall. No major standouts. My defense should improve a bit with Shannon, while O'Neal should develop fairly well. I'm most pleased with Fuller (WR, 4th) and Graham (CB, 7th) who look destined to fill the exact roles I was targeting them for. Fingers crossed Nicholson turns in to a decent QB for me. Banks is getting extremely long in the tooth.
1.20 - Herman Shannon, DE (42/57)
Should start right away and help anchor what is shaping up to be a very solid defensive line.
Status: Starting RDE
2.20 - Brent Nicholson, QB (10/45)
Looks like he could potentially develop in to a starter once Banks retires. His future estimate needs to hold steady (at a minimum) for that to be the case, however.
Status: Potential future starter, though fairly developmental for a second round pick.
3.20 - Alonzo O'Neal, MLB (15/42)
Has the chance to develop in to a decent player for what is currently an deep, but average linebacking corp.
Status: Developmental with decent upside. Could fill in for some aging players next season.
4.20 - Silas Fuller, WR (26/44)
Should develop well in to the role of third wideout behind Evans and Herndon, which is exactly what we were hoping for. He should also be the team's primary return man.
Status: Solid potential at slot receiver. Punt and Kick returner.
5.20 - Malik Cox, RB (23/37)
A bit underwhelming upside, but should develop well enough to fit in with the team's current rotation. He could develop well in to a viable receiving threat.
Status: Needs a year to develop. No more than a situational back.
6.20 - Aidan Quinn, LT (14/39)
Looks to be a serviceable backup, but little more. Still need to find a long term replacement for the aging Reggie Higdon.
Status: Solid backup potential.
6.28 - Abraham Baysinger, TE (18/38)
Solid blocking skills, but likely won't develop in to a full time starter.
Status: Backup potential.
7.20 - Joel Graham, CB (18/42)
Great upside for a 7th round pick. He should develop in to a nice Nickle Corner behind Johnson and Chandler.
Status: Should develop in to a solid Nickle Corner
