Really happy with the Fins draft. They made their selections based on what they needed, at least their first 3 picks anyways.
Pouncey in the first round was a safe but excellent pick. They need lots of help on the o-line and I was worried that when all the QBs started going that the Fins would go after one as well.
Thomas in the 2nd round is a good pick. The Fins are facing a free agency period that sees both Brown and Williams as free agents. Thomas will replace one of them. Although, I've read lots of things that lead me to believe the Fins will let both Brown and Williams go and they will target Deangelo Williams.
Gates in the 4th round is the type of WR that the Fins really needed, someone who can stretch the field. Whether this kid be that guy remains open for discussion.
Charles Clay surprised me because I thought they might go with another speedster at HB. Clay is a physical kid who can bounce from the backfield to TE.
Kearse and Wilson in the 7th, I don't know much about either but I read that Wilson has had legal issues but if he doesn't work out at least it was only a 7th round pick.
