Obviously the theme of our draft this year is versatility.
-Cushing is able to play all the LB positions
-Barwin is an able tight end and had double digit sacks as a DE in his first year at the position.
-Caldwell can play both center and guard
-Glover was considered a safety/cb tweener
-Hill is a TE that was compared to having a third tackle on the field
-Casey is a former QB who played 7 different positions in one game at Rice.
Smithiak are finding smart high motor players that can play a variety of positions to help provide depth at as many positions as possible. Not too mention most of these players are great special teamers who can instantly upgrade our coverage and return units. That's gonna be very important now due to the rule change that no longer allows player wedges or wedge busters. It might not be a very exciting draft but this is going to take care of alot of our needs and help make the team stronger as a whole.
