I was pretty low on Milroe throughout the process. I still have major reservations on him. But there's a lot to like about this draft.
Zabel, Emmanwori, Arroyo, Horton & Ouzts all look like major contributors for this team.
Mills will also likely be a rotational piece when he's back fully healthy.

(1) Zabel- Love it! I thought they might go in a different direction. But it obviously fills a gigantic need. Grade: A
(2) Emmanwori- I thought he was closer to a 2nd Round talent. The value is much better than had they taken him in Round one. I also trust Mike when it comes to evaluating players like him. Huge upside!! Grade: A
(2) Arroyo- He was my TE3 in this class, behind Warren & Loveland. The value & potential was just too good to pass up imho. There's a chance he becomes a matchup problem & massive chess piece for this team. Great value!!! Grade: A
(3) Milroe- I think you know my opinion of him by now lol. He has some special traits. But is still so raw as a passer that it's a massive gamble. Albeit in the 3rd Round. I would've gone in a different direction entirely with this pick. Still, there is upside. But it's still a reach for me. Grade: C
(5) Mills- Originally, this pick kind of caught me off guard. But I've warmed up to it. A player that could be really productive for them down the line. Not bad value either in the 5th Round. Possible redshirt year. Grade: B
(5) Horton- Potential steal? Another pick with upside. He could realistically be your 3rd or 4th receiver at some point. Really not a whole lot to dislike about this pick. Grade: A
(5) Ouzts- Fullback?? Grade: B
(6) Cabeldue- Another Guard? Sign me up!!! Grade: B+
(7) Martinez- Yeah, love the player. Even better value. Grade: A
(7) Richman- An OT prospect from a school (Iowa) that is known for developing good lineman. Grade: B
(7) White- A productive receiver in college (UNLV) & a Special Teams standout. Grade: B
