Draft update: In rounds 4 and 5, we stay on the defensive side of the ball. Round 4 is LB Fernando Stephens, a run-stopper guy with a maxed-out punishing hitter rating - that along with his affinity is enough for my flyer here. Round 5 is CB Nathaniel Hakeem, one of those guys rated pretty highly on the in-game big board, but no really attractive bars to speak of. If he merely lives up to his apparent profile, he should be a marginal rotation-caliber DB with multiple skill voids. Not very exciting, admittedly. He'll likely need to give us a plus camp to make the roster this season.
By the way, round 4 v 5 is a big drop for the chemistry-obsessed. LB Stephens gets a free year of affinity effects, even without any starts. He's nearly a lock to make the final 53. Hakeem, not so much, because he'll need to rack up starts to get past "potential affinity" status.
