I think this draft adds the explosive dynamic this offense has been lacking by bringing in playmakers Manziel, Thomas and Lee, helps add more talent to the under-talented and virtually no-depth offensive line, adds two-three more playmakers in vital defensive positions (Mosley, Purifoy and Smith) and takes on a few projects (Coleman, Sunseri and Bullough) that can be solid additions later. I think these players help fit the schemes and philosophies of the coaches on hand and think this team could compete both now and grow into a contender in the next year or so. What are your thoughts? What was awful? What was great? What did I whiff on?
