Love the draft. I think the first three picks set the tone and sent a clear message as to the type of team McC is building. Big and nasty. McC doesn't just want to win games, he wants to beat the other team up while doing so.

My favorite pick? P. Smith. Never heard of him before the draft but all I read is he is big, strong and mean. If he is a Kerrigan clone, I am really good with that. From what I saw, he is plenty fast enough to be an edge rusher. He may not have the speed of a Beasley but Beasley has to run further to get around the LT; Smith is going to take the short path and drive right through a few guys. Also, Terrell Suggs got knocked on his 40 time back in the day, and his response was, essentially, "I only gotta run 10 yards to get to the QB." I am hopeful that Smith is going to be a beast.

Sleeper pick? Not sure if it's a "sleeper," but I am betting Kouandjio is a Day 1 starter.

My only problem with the draft? Would have liked a safety or convertible corner rather than RB in the third, rather than WR in the 4th, or, again, rather than ILB in the 5th. At the same time, I like the picks taken in those spots and trust in in the McC. Just concerned that we did not really address the FS issue before the 6th round.
