I think we've drafted some solid players who are going to give us depth at a lot of positions and contributions down the road, but I think most people will rag on our draft because none of these guys are likely to start the season high on the depth chart.
Slaton and Adibi have the best chance to do it if they have good springs, but there's definitely some competition at SLB and RB. Brown is a project, and probably won't get on the field until midway through the season. Molden is definitely a project as well, and I think there's a good chance he winds up on the practice squad. Okam though should make the team, and hopefully inspire Travis Johnson to get it in gear and push to the next level.
But we'll certainly be better off next year if we suffer the barrage of injury that took its toll last season. Now here's to hoping Rick Smith has some steal of a pass-rushing DE in the 6th or 7th.
