I voted win ... can't vote epic win IMO because Jones is a bit of a project.

If he bulks up fine and becomes a 3-down beast the draft could move to epic IMO.

I went with WIN. If we took Brandon Taylor instead of Wilson it would be EPIC.

Good...close to great. Would have liked Melvin Ingram more, and think that almost anyone would have been a better pick over Wilson. There were a lot of good guard, defensive tackle, and wide receiver prospects still on the board at that point that I wish they had gone after.

Good draft though. Excited about what Jones could become, think he has elite potential.

Epic win. Haters are gonna hate on the Wilson pick, but contrary to popular belief, there's a pretty good chance he was gone with the very next pick. And two teams between 48 and 62 had a 2nd round grade on him.

I voted epic fail because 1, I like the term. I've always found it kinda funny. 2, there will be tons of homers picking epic win, so why not be contrarian. Oh, and 3, until these guys play, there's no knowing if the draft is a hit or not.


Travon Wilson at 48, really?

We won't know how good this draft was until the first half of the first preseason game is over

Absolute epic win. If the draft would of went like this would it change posters minds?

Jones
Hightower
Dennard
Bequette
Wilson
Ebert
Ebner

What's not to be happy about? We finally draft pass rushing DE/OLB candidates that everyone has been calling for.
