Maybe a little steep but it wasn't a deep draft and 2 4th rounders...meh,  I was ok w/it. 

I don't know exactly how they calculate "points" but it seems like a even trade...

They paid more to go from 23 to 20 than the Chiefs did to go from 9 to 6… it was a significant overpay but Pitt was gonna draft lemon and cowboys had us over a barrel. 
 

overall love their draft, they should hopefully get 3 offensive starters in the future out of it and the QB should be a fun gadget player like Taysom Hill. Love the tackle they took, between him and the guy they took last year, I think one could be the Lane replacement. Still think we need more depth in the interior oline and safety. Getting a guy like Greenard for 2 3rds was a steal, he’s going to he feast here with our interior dline taking the double teams.

Not quite. Cheifs traded picks 78 and 148, Birds traded 114 and 137. All and all, I like what Howie did there. With Brown leaving and Hurts is in his prime you have to give him every possible tool. And I agree picking up Greenard was a good move and yes he should have a field day out there for the reason you mentioned...

Still touring at his finest...it's David Lee Roth! Don't think he sold out the Keswick last time around. Man, drugs hit him hard for only being 71 and borderline mental....looks 80ish.

I'm a huge VH fan and good for Dave for getting out there. But man, I just can't look.

Saw VH in their prime countless times and that's how I choose to remember them.

Hager did a good job taking over all things considered but when I think VH it's Diamond Dave. I had the VH symbol (and Zeppelin) symbols all over my note/copy books for grade school. Goes w/o saying the nuns didn't dig it...

The nuns weren't big fans of the Ozzy/Black Sabbath doodles, either

Yeah...wore a "Diary of a Madman" T-shirt on relaxed dressed day which wasn't well received.  Iron Maiden was just bursting onto the scene as well with Eddie T-shirts/Concert shirts which again the nuns frowned upon...
