And Hunter was what, 20? At least they just hedged their bets with another edge.
Still no S or WR. Interesting.

Spielman introduced him as a safety, so I believe that is a given.
Seemed pretty obvious last night the Texans traded up to get WR Nico Collins ahead of the Vikes. They spent some significant draft capital to do it, too.

Meh, I wouldn't read too much into it. A late 4th round pick isn't necessarily an indicator of anything. They took two DEs last year as well. Andre Patterson has a lot of sway with the team and identifies "his guys". He's got a good track record with finding and developing later round d ends. You can never have too many.
Yes, and we saw what a problem it was last year without Hunter. The depth for the position was simply not there. Good to retool.
Along those lines though, there is still really good safety depth remaining. I would think it would be feasible to take another one for both depth, planning ahead, and help with special teams.
Too skinny, not a polished receiver...but I can’t say he’s not fast enough. Like most of the other late-round WR’s they’ve drafted lately.
And Kene has competition at KR.
I agree...another one I really like, though he is shorter than most NFL teams like, is Ar'Darius Washington

Robinson was a really bad pick in round 4. He's quick and athletic but needs to be coached up big time. He's probably a practice squad guy this year. Shoulda taken a DT or WR with that pick.
New pick, just in, is TE/P Zach Davidson. Excellent pick!!

Odd pick. Kene and ISM are basically both KR specialists in the NFL..... so why draft two of them?

Yep. We needed to add a receiver, but Smith-Marsette makes no sense. I was hoping Spielman was gonna take the kid out of South Dakota State, Cade Johnson.
