The rest of the rounds aren't really important in regards to the other teams, but here are the people I drafted.
Round 5: RT Breno Giacomini
Round 7: LT Nathan Bank
Overall I am fairly pleased with the draft. Was able to get a good middle linebacker, and was shocked to see Dennis Dixon fall as low as he did. I was afraid someone would pick him up, but I never saw his name come off, so I was elated when my turn came around. The other two picks were just to shore up the offensive line. I also invited some undrafted rookies to camp.
QB Andre Woodson
CB Orlando Scandrick
HB Xavier Omon
ROLB Harry Thompson
WR Davone Bess
Lastly, I made some roster moves. Some might not go over well with the owner and the media.
-Released Shaun Hill.
-Added Alex Smith to the trade block.
-Moved Adam Snyder from LT to RT.
