Hunter2_1 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 What examples can you find of a team that actively sought to strengthen an already strong area from this draft? The obvious examples; Jacksonville: Taven Bryan, DT, Florida Chargers: Derwin James, S, Florida St Atlanta: Calvin Ridley, WR, Alabama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Vikings: Mike Hughes CB (could throw in Holton Hill as an UDFA as well) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Eagles already have Zach Ertz, and signed Richard Rodgers (who had a pretty good season for Green Bay at TE a few years ago) They drafted Dallas Goedert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wow 2 posts in and even the OP didn't state the most obvious one. Connor Williams to finish basically an all-pro line. If he lives up to his potential that got him hyped as a Top10 pick. This will be hands down the best offensive line the NFL has ever seen. The other units I doubt can make the same claim.

Broncofan Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 DEN - Bradly Chubb & Jeff Holland added to Von Miller, Shane Ray & Shaq Barrett. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will incur a lot of holding penalties methinks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little sad DEN didn't draft him, he's exactly the type of tall, physical CB that can handle DEN's scheme. DEN's focus on character is admirable (and character flags are the only reason he fell to UDFA), but if they were willing to sign UDFA NT Lowell Lotulelei, Hill being drafted Rd 6-7 is a no-brainer. Oh well. Edited May 3, 2018 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is now. S wasn't one of their top 3 needs (DL run stuffer, ILB, T , then S), but they were looking to upgrade S at some point, though. JAX & ATL, no argument there.

Broncofan Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 For the win, it's hard for an 0-16 to have an area of strength, but this is where FA factors in: RB: Nick Chubb to Carlos Hyde/Duke Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets it for anything it will be because of his mean streak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
