Lets take a look at it now since we're essentially done with free agency. OTA's start in a week and the draft is in three weeks.
Round 2 pick 5:
Chris Godwin WR Penn St.
After a great Rose Bowl game (9 rec 187 yards 2 TD) he hasn't let us down with his off season performance. A big bodied WR 6'1" 209 lbs he'll catch everything that comes to him especially good at the high point. Oh and he also ran a 4.42 40 yard dash. A great WR to mix in with Austin and Woods.
Round 3 pick 5:
Howard Wilson CB Houston
Everything we need in a CB with good size. Adequate make up speed and with his ball hawking skills should thrive in a Wade defense with his ability to create turnovers with this great pass rush we'll have.
Round 4 pick 5:
Chase Roullier C Wyoming
Are you tired of seeing him in mocks yet?
Round 4 pick 35:
George Kittle TE Iowa
Jrry sold me on this guy. Looks like a very good all around TE to compliment Higbee.
Round 5 pick 5:
Eddie Vandervoes DT UCLA
This might be an optimistic slot to get him at but if he's not here I could live with D.J. Jones from Ole Miss. I see us taking a NT over a DE this allows Wade to rotate our draft pick with Tyrunn Walker at DT and use Brockers and Easley in a rotation opposite of Donald. We have depth at DE we'll see what Wade makes of it.
Round 6 pick 5:
Joshua Holsey CB Auburn
Another theft from Jrry and others. He had a great post season and if he can stay healthy he could stick in the secondary for a long time.
Round 6 pick 22:
Robert Davis WR Georgia St
I was going to go with another steal here but went with Davis instead. 6'3" 219 lbs and still runs a 4.44 40? Competition of course was limited but he tore them up. Oh he's related to Thomas Davis of the Panthers? I'll take that any day of the week and twice in the 6th round.
Round 7 pick 16:
Hardy Nickerson JR ILB Illinois
Another pick with the NFL bloodlines. Wasn't spectacular in college but was very productive as a tackler. If you look back at Wades defenses he's made a career of using late round picks at ILB to carry his defenses. Nobody is certain what Tree and Barron will do in Wades defense but here we take a late round to plug in long term in the meantime he's depth and a special teams work horse tackler.

Not a ton of changes just on vacation and felt like doing one this morning. I think with the coaching changes this is a vastly improved team over last year. Can't wait for April 28th!
