I give this pick a solid B.
It was a need that was filled.
Was Clark a reach?
Perhaps, but I like the comparison to Mike Daniels who quickly became one of my favorite defensive players.
If Teddy can do as well in the next 2 or 3 rounds this should be a fine draft class.

I am willing to bet more than 90% of them would have taken all those other "first round" players if they were sitting in the Big Green chair.

One thing the experts all seemed to agree on is that there were about 15 spots or less of players with 100% first round grades, so when you pick at the end of the 1st round, I wouldn't consider any player like we got a reach. As far as I am concerned the 2nd round started when the majority of players with 1st round grades were chosen.

And, once Denver traded up past them for Lynch, there's a good chance that there were no trade partners available since everyone wanted to wait until the second for their players.
