Figure it's a good idea to reorganize and look at the draft after draft day. Post ratings, thoughts, ect.
I'll start off with who I think will be impact players for us next year;
1. Rob Gronkowski
He's a complete player at the position. We haven't had that around here in a long time. I really think our offense has been missing a guy who is a good stationary target and can help seal off outside blocks runs. He's undoubtedly the starter for us and will probably end up being the best player we selected this year.
2. Brandon Spikes
Good or bad, he'll have an impact. We all know that running a bad forty isn't a death sentence for a player, especially a linebacker, but Spikes is SLOW. If he doesn't transition well, we could really be screwed at linebacker this year. If he does though, wow, we're really stacked at the position. It's almost shockingly out of character for us to take a linebacker that high. It's not the one we expected...but let's hope Bill knows what he's doing.
The one really, really good thing to take away from this draft is that none of those picks were soft players. They're all very, very physical and have the desire to win. There's a lot of leadership potential and football character in this draft class for us, and that's really something we have to like.
