So 4 picks and we got a DE/LB, FS, OG and a TE. Should be nothing to bitch about, right? Oooooooh, never mind.  

Well, 4-picks, 4-players drafted, so yeah.

The reach at 12 for a boom or bust guy was and is a strange choice.

 No kidding. He's only pined for like 90 different guys in the last week or two. 

1 out of 90 ain't too shabby. 

This fukker better pan out or I'll never hear the end of it. 

And I'm with you. I like this pick a. Lot. 

So ... just 4 picks left tomorrow, barring trades.  Please, just don’t pick a kicker or long-snapper!  I know they go BPA, but I’d think those 4 picks might represent CB, ILB, maybe another O-Lineman.  Maybe another receiver, too, though I know we have a lot of WR’s right now.  Especially if he can be a return man (though Derrick Savage may be capable in that area, especially with his speed.).  If not a receiver, a running back, perhaps?

Still some very good prospects on the board. Glad we have two four......oh.

Still a lot of holes to fill but it appears there are probably 22 qualified starters now and a little depth at IOL and Edge.

I'm happy with what we've done. Every one of the areas I hoped we'd address in the draft have been checked off the list. 

I had right tackle on my list.  I think that is a higher priority than another d lineman.

I'm a little underwhelmed by our collective picks but we'll have to wait and see. Hopefully all of these guys pan out and end up contributing. I think the Gary selection and trading both of our 4th RD picks just kind of took the luster off of the entire draft for me.

I think Gute strongly felt Savage would be gone by #30 and that he is the best safety in the entire class.  He appears an excellent complement to Amos what with his 4.3+ 40 speed, space coverer and physicality.  So I have no problem with that.

Gary seemed to be often double and triple teamed, often disrupted the line of scrimmage, and has off the roof numbers (size and speed).  I am cool with it from the standpoint of his projected impact.

I am beating a dead horse, but I simply have a higher priority for RT than DL.

I've been hearing this same narrative from multiple teams fan bases .

Mariucci thinks the Packers could've gotten Savage at #30 too. I disagree as the Raiders also took a Safety (Abram)

I'll definitely be pulling for all of these guys to realize their potential. I'm hoping the Savage and Jenkins picks are home runs because we really need to solidify the back end of the D and the interior O line.

Savage and Amos could be a very interesting and solid safety combination. I have no doubt that they'll be significantly better than the cluster we had back there last year with Brice, Tramon, etc.. Looking forward to seeing if we can run some single high safety D to free up another person for Angry Bald Man to send from anywhere. Savage's speed has a lot to do with that possibility. 

We've invested so much draft capital in DB's over the past 5 years, (8 out of 12 of our top 2 picks since 2014) that it has to start paying off. Alexander is a keeper and I hope Savage plays to that level. HaHa didn't cut it, Jones has been a complete waste and I don't know if it's ever gonna click for him. King can't stay on the field and Jackson is still a work in progress who I hope takes a leap forward this year.

It's not true. Multiple sources - much better ones than Mooch - have insisted that Savage wasn't going to get to 30.

Yup.

Seattle was also at #29.

Raiders, Seattle & Chargers (who took a S in round 2) are most likely 3 teams that had Savage targeted. Seattle obviously needed more draft capital so they felt the trade w/Green Bay was better for them than the player.

4.3 speed baby. Can't teach it.

Also want to point out, according to the point value draft chart - Gutey got over on Schneider a little bit. #21 = 800 / #30, #114 & #118 = 744

I expect that Gutey will "give" some value back to Schneider at some point in the future. 

Glad to see Schneider has given Uncle Ted something to do. Also, he needs to lay off the Hipster diet or switch to "relaxed fit," shirts. He's one basket of asada fries away from mom jeans.

Hakeem Butler to the Cardinals. I liked him so it'll be interesting to see how his career pans out with Murray throwing him the ball. That is if Murray can stay upright long enough to get rid of it.
