My issue with Garnett is not that they drafted him (hoping that he, Thomas, and Martin can form the interior line for the next 4 seasons)
But they didn't really have to trade up to get this guy. The best interior lineman is still on the board.
His rankings were nowhere near the 28th spot in the draft. To me, they wasted draft capital to get someone they could have gotten later.
I do love the Buckner selection. He and Armstead (who for all of his roughness around the edges, was one of the highest graded rookies last year, with Quinton Dial moving to NT could give us a fearsome 3 man line.
They need another ILB, and have to absolutely get a corner

Garnett was a top 2-3 OG prospect. Taking him over someone like Whitehair was a matter of system fit.
And who cares about rankings - if you think you have your guy, you go and get him. Late round picks this year are unlikely to yield any starters anyway. That's usually the case anyway but this year's class is particularly average to downright poor. Might as well get a 5th year option on a polished prospect, while ensuring you actually get said prospect.
Armstead was a graded highly mostly due to his physique/athleticism. The knock on him has always been mental make-up, though - lack of 'character', tenacity, toughness etc, which are key for success in the trenches.
Buckner is different in that aspect and I thought already last year he was the much better prospect of the two.
