Great. We reach for a guy who was a projected 7th rounder at CB, draft 3 pass catchers with our first 3 picks, and still haven't sniffed D-line or O-line which our the two biggest needs. Not building in the trenches... This is a bad draft so far for us.

I wouldn't go so far as to say this was a bad draft. We addressed the need of a bigger presence at receiver and we have added a G to our roster. CB depth is helpful we just reached way too far.

The CB was a 2nd team all american...reach...could have been had in FA after the draft? Wasn't Smoot thought about the same way coming out of college?

No...Smoot was projected as a first rounder but fell to us in the 2nd.
No comparison
