I'm not worried about RB. I think we'll be fine for another year with the guys we have. LoMo has a lot on the line next season. Except for the fumbles, I think he was much improved last year. He ran decisively and with power and was excellent in the red zone.

I liked the draft a lot but I would have rather gotten another pass rusher instead of Hernandez. I think he'll be a good player but we already drafted Gronk and I felt that someone like O'brien Schofield or Thaddeus Gibson would have been a good prospect to develop.

I was happiest about trading down and getting solid returns.

Very happy about Gronkowski and Hernandez.
Taylor Price seems like a great developmental WR with a high ceiling.
I was really happy with the 6th and 7th rounders, Larsen, Welch and Deadrick.

Still iffy on McCourty. As a BE fan, he never really stood out. Could be because teams never really threw his way. We'll see.

I had no idea we would grab a guy like Cunningham in the 2nd round. I was stunned by that pick. But when I looked through the draft, I realized why it happened. There were very few Patriots type OLBs available in that range. Sergio Kindle, Carlos Dunlap and Daniel Teo-Nesheim. That's about it.

So, quite happy with the number of picks, with several players, with the late rounds.

Still questioning McCourty over Dez Bryant and Taylor Price over Mardy Gilyard.

I hate the Gaytors, but at least we picked some of the better ones.

I'm thrilled with the draft class this year. I would have liked to see them make a move to get Everson Griffen when he was there in the 4th, I would have even liked to see him taken with one of those picks in the 3rd. All in all though it looks like they grabbed a lot of good players and it isn't a stretch to think they could get as many as 7 starters.

I'm with you on hating the Gators. I live in Southwest Florida and I want them to lose every game they play. Loved seeing Donko's reach big-time for Tebow in the first round. I thought our draft was solid, reserving judgement on Cunningham, Spikes and Hernandez till I see them in TC.

I love having teams to root against. Looking for the Raiders and Panthers to suck badly this year. This years draft and a similar banner crop next year with another 4 picks in the top 64.............. Too bad because I sorta like Fox as a coach but his team has to tank this year.

Would have liked a receiver a little higher and maybe a developmental RB, other than that Im happy.

This is actually one of my favorite picks since I can see him moving around and creating a lot of matchup problems.

He can even have a victory blunt after each win as far as I am concerned!

I am so excited about these guys I am literally peeing myself.

which brought my happiness level down a couple notches.
