Some big money being handed out but that is what you have to do to keep top players. I feel like we did not overpay for St. Brown or Sewell. The key thing for Holmes is getting players thru the draft that can help for 4-5 years on the rookie contract and extend if possible or trade before their contracts are up. Then add in some reasonably priced FA here and there to fill in around the studs. Things seem to be going that way.

I know I'm biased but I thought the opening of the draft was fire. I loved it. Especially the mom's spaghetti reference and the mascot tackling the Packers fan. DAMN! Loved it.

If teams keep taking offensive players we will have our pick of top defensive players.

ABC went to commercial and I flipped channel for a bit. It was a minor mistake that almost was a big one. I turned back and saw the Lions war room on my TV. Missed the start of the trade but saw the rest. I thought we moved up for the DB from Iowa who was their best defender and maybe their best offensive player. I saw him as returner who could work his way into the DB rotation. But the dude from AL is a good get. Our D especially the back end will be solid to good this year.

Ugh. We gave up our 3rd round pick to move up a few spots in 1st. I trust in Holmes but dang.

Baring another trade we have just one pick on day two and then our next pick is late in 5th (164). I am more happy with our pick after doing some reading. I don't follow college ball as much as in the past which is why I read a lot of the mocks. But Arnold was set to go in top 20, top 15 in many mocks, so did not expect us to grab him so didn't read about him. We need to hit big on our pick tomorrow then wait for teams to release players to see if we can improve with one or two of them.
