I have very mixed reviews for this first day's picks. From a value standpoint, we made out like bandits. All three picks were projected as first rounders and we got them in the early and late second round. We also needed help at the skills positions.

But, I wonder just how much added value these guys will bring. ARE, Kelly, or Thomas will be a #4 wideout? And using a second rounder on a backup TE? Moreover, we clearly have issues along the O-line, D-line and at our nickel corner. I wish we had spent one of those picks on Groves, Nicks, or some other O-lineman.

Value Grade: A
Overall: B
