A ginger at that!

[Geowhizzer]

He'll use his mighty ginger powers to overwhelm the QB. 

[PhillyPhreak54]

Every video clip they played on nfln he was falling down or getting swallowed up by blockers

@GeoffMosherCSN: How does Chip feel about his draft: "Honestly, I have no idea."

[Geowhizzer]

So, to summarize:

RD1 (26) - Marcus Smith, OLB, Louisville
RD2 (42) - Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
RD3 (86) - Josh Huff, WR, Oregon
RD4 (101) - Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida
RD5 (141) - Taylor Hart, DE, Oregon
RD5 (162) - Ed Reynolds, FS, Stanford
RD7 (234) - Beau Allen, DT, Wisconsin

Thoughts overall?

Ok with Smith pick
Love Matthews pick
Like Huff pick
Love Watkins pick
Like Hart pick 
Ok with Reynolds pick
Don't like Allen pick

my grades as picks not players...for example matthews gets down graded cause they traded up for him

RD1 (26) - Marcus Smith, OLB, Louisville - F
RD2 (42) - Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt - C-
RD3 (86) - Josh Huff, WR, Oregon - D
RD4 (101) - Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida - C
RD5 (141) - Taylor Hart, DE, Oregon - F
RD5 (162) - Ed Reynolds, FS, Stanford - D
RD7 (234) - Beau Allen, DT, Wisconsin - F

@GeoffMosherCSN: Along with Cooks, Chip really gushed over CJ Mosley. Sounds like Mosley would have also been in the discussion at 22 if he had fallen there.

Mosely

Daniel Jeremiah dropping some eagles nuggets about how they decided to draft Bryce (who is the biggest fastest guy available right now)

And how he was on the phone with Chris Polk recruiting him as a UDFA when the pick for Bryce was announced and Polk was miffed as to why they'd draft him but not Polk

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thoughts overall?

I noticed that all of their draft picks and at least a third of their UDFAs played for Chip, played against him in a huge game (Stanford, USC, Wisconsin) and/or he saw them personally on a pro day or visit.  On offense, they addressed the two WR holes left by DJax and Avant, and they got a DE, NT, OLB, CB and S, so for now, I give it a B-

So, to summarize:

RD1 (26) - Marcus Smith, OLB, Louisville
RD2 (42) - Jordan Matthews, WR, Vanderbilt
RD3 (86) - Josh Huff, WR, Oregon
RD4 (101) - Jaylen Watkins, CB, Florida
RD5 (141) - Taylor Hart, DE, Oregon
RD5 (162) - Ed Reynolds, FS, Stanford
RD7 (234) - Beau Allen, DT, Wisconsin

Thoughts overall?

Overall I give it a C. It's a really meh draft. I was going to grade it lower but I felt the same thing about last years draft and that class isn't looking too bad so far. Plus I'll take the pathetic "we don't know how any of these guys are going to pan out" point of view into consideration. Favorite picks are the Matthews and Watkins picks.
