Re: Sakl18's Final Mock Draft
pretty good job..only major fault i can find is no O-lineman...whilst i think our O-line has more talent than its generally given credit for..we do lack a true RT...would love to have Kyle Calloway in the 4th or 5th round range. i know we got Smith and Barron..but Smith is our franchise LT and Barron would have probably been gone by now if there was a new CBA in place.
apart from that tho..a pretty nice job.
