1) After finding out the plan to move Starks to NT, though I am somewhat reserved to that plan, then I liked the Odrick pick
2) liked the Misi pick as I can see him at OLB opposite Wake as a starter
3) I do like the Jerry pick as the interior of the OL has had injury issues, and he appears to be a very good road grading type of Guard.....fits in well with the Fins style of OL
4) after losing 3 starting LB's this offseason the team needed to get at least 3 LB's back on the roster.......I don't know much about Edds, but I like that the position was picked
5) Again I like the position that was picked, don't know much about Carroll but from what I read it appears that he fits the mold of the dolphin secondary
6) Loved the Reshad Jones pick and I believe he has a chance to play in nickel/dime rotation as a rookie, or at least challenge for those spots as a rookie......should eventually move into a starting role in a few seasons.......excellent value at the back end of the 5th
7 & 8) I still like these picks though I have no idea if these guys will make the team or not? As I said before the team lost 3 starting LB's, brought one starter back in FA, and now drafted 3 more LB's to compete.......should be an excellent competition for the starting jobs at LB during camp, as well as for the backup jobs.
Overall I am happy with the draft picks.
I would have liked them brining in a guy that fit the prototypical NT role, but that could still happen........still have the Undrafted FA's to go through
