Best Pick: Trayveon Williams, RB
Talk about a winner. Ask Texas A&M coaches what they think about Mr. Williams. Don’t have access to coaches directly? That’s fine. Turn on any crucial down in the Aggies season last year and see who they tried to get the rock to. I love the player and the value, unfortunately for Trayveon, this running back room now has four solid backs in it (Bennard, Mixon, Williams and Anderson)
Worst Pick: Devin Bush @ 10
Allowing someone to jump one spot ahead of you to draft YOUR guy is bad. But allowing it to be a divisional rival? That’s downright criminal.
Tardy assignments in my class will always result in a 20% mark off.
But aside from Bush going to the Steelers one spot above them, drafting Drew Sample now means they have seven tight ends on the roster. You read that right, I said seven. Not to mention they drafted Sample maybe 50 spots early. I just don’t get anything this team did in this draft.
