Agree with most of the above, but: Koppen was actually a fifth rounder, making him one of the most valuable picks by BB ever.I think our OL is stronger now than it was a year ago, when Devey and Kline were fighting for the starting role at LG. Somehow the team survived that and won a Superbowl. I am a little concerned that Stork is out since he was such a stabilizing factor last year. But the two rookie guards are cause for optimism, if we kick Wendell in to Center. Koppen was a 4th round pick himself, and if these guys are his caliber on the field, I think we'll be more than just fine.
Corner feels thin, coming off a season with Revis and Browner at the position. With that kind of a benchmark, you cant help but have a hollow feeling. But I think we just don't know. Butler did a great job against Kearse in the SB, with the one fluke exception; and if he plays like that all season, he will make the pro-bowl. In terms of the other corners, it's impossible to say-- we'll just have to see. The terrific depth that we have at S has got to suggest some schematic opportunities that maybe the coaching staff will leverage, if it can take some pressure off the corners. If our corners struggle, I have no doubt that we will see McCourty back at corner, opposite Butler.
Wideout is bit of a worry after the top two guys, but the addition of Chandler is an obvious upgrade at TE and makes you wonder if we really need more than two. I actually think our RB unit may have improved over last year's group, despite losing Vereen, Ridley and Gray. Again we'll just have to see, but I think the offense could be really dangerous.
Well, the only thing that matters is we drafted a DT in round 1. That means Superbowl Champs.
