Draft Reaction

[Schneed10]

AJ Cann went just a few spots before we picked Matt Jones, and Tre Jackson went just a few spots before we picked Kouandjio. We'll never know, but I am guessing Scot had his eyes on one of them and had to adjust on the fly when they got snatched. In the draft all you can do is play the hand you're dealt - I was glad to see he didn't panic and trade up.

I definitely like this draft a lot. I can't foresee a scenario where Scherff won't live up to expectations - he's a very safe pick which I like high in the draft.

On Preston Smith, no concerns. He's a carbon copy of Kerrigan in terms of height, weight, and his times in the 40, 3 cone, and shuttle. I have no problems at all with Ryan Kerrigan, that's for sure.

I would not assign Preston Smith to cover Zach Ertz, but I wouldn't assign that task to Ryan Kerrigan either. That's best left to Keenan or the safeties.
