Right. He didn't run the ball or catch the ball last year, and had a foot injury. He would have been there much later.

Maybe a punter?

Demmings is a great late round pick. Small school. Raw. Athletic.

Oh my word you’re serious… wow. 

[Vanimal46]

We’re gonna take a 7th round center again aren’t we. Sigh…

This is a good player though.  I think we'll end up looking back fondly at that choice.

You know what I do like about this draft?  Emphasis on physicality.  This team needs that and they're getting it in this draft.

[Danchat]

Drafting a FB in the 5th round is certainly a choice, and he's not even the best FB in this class. Not wise use of draft capital there when you can find them in the UDFA signings. I like the CB pick, they needed to add some young talent to that room.

[nicksaviking]

The FB might be a good player, but it’s basically an un-evaluable position since they are all either over-sized RBs or oddly sized TEs. But that’s why none are ever drafted. 

[nicksaviking]

Claiborne at RB. I like this one. Finally a different kind of RB.

[Danchat]

They flipped a future 6th and a this year 7th to go get Claiborne. He's a small back with blazing speed, will KOC actually use him? He never used simiarly speedy backs Nwangwu and avoided Chandler when possible.

 

[Mike Sixel]

Move him to WR.....

[nicksaviking]

Got the Center. Not familiar with him but center is a position where it seems you can hit on no-name guys late.

[Danchat]

And they finish by going with a guy I've never heard of, a center out of Cincinnati. Basically the same thing they did with Jurgens a couple years ago, so they've failed to draft a demonstrably better backup center than him.

[nicksaviking]

Sullivan and Birk were no-name late picks. Seattle just won the Super Bowl with UDFA Jalen Sundell. I’m by no means going to celebrate the pick but it is one of the best positions to find guys really late. 

[Mike Sixel]

I like the late picks for real value. I thought the early picks were taken too early, and carry real risk. Not my favorite draft, not my least favorite.

[nicksaviking]

Center but only late, and no WR. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up bringing in Glasgow and DeAndre Hopkins on cheap deals.

You know, youth movement.
