I give this draft a solid B+.

RGlll is an A. Enough said.
LeRibeus is a B-. Not the reach many think as at least 2 other teams reportedly had a 3rd round grade on him. He fits the ZBS, and has versatility.
Cousins is a B. Team needs a solid backup for the future, and Kirk was best player on the board.
Robinson is a B-. Solid pick filling a need.
Gettis is a B+. Perfect zone fit, versatile, picked in the appropriate spot.
Morris is a C. Probably a reach, but fits the system.
Compton is an A. Stong value pick, fills a need, and has versatility.
Crawford is a B-. Need position, has good upside, it's the 7th rd.
Bernstine is also a B-. Another need position io the 7th with upside.

I don't see a bad pick in the bunch, perhaps a few reaches that fill needs, but they nailed down the all important Qb spot and strengthened O-line depth. All players picked also have very good intangibles, good to great character traits, and seem to fit perfectly with the systems being run. I think it will be Mike Shanahan's best draft ever.
