Which draft pick impressed you the most?

In last night's pre-season game, which of the 8 draft picks which saw playing time impressed you guys the most? I am having a hard time deciding.
Brad Cottam appears to have put to rest questions of his receiving ability - I missed a bit of the game, but I didn't see him drop a pass that headed his way. He is a huge upgrade over Jason Dunn in that category. Having two pass-catching threats covered by LB's in 2-TE sets will be very helpful for our quick passing game.
Jamaal Charles looked good running the ball, and showed some nice moves to gain yards after making the catch.
Of course, Will Franklin's catch on 3rd and 14 was impressive.
I was less happy with our defensive draft picks - I thought Flowers and Carr gave a little too much cushion in the Cover 2, though I understand they didn't want Hester to get behind them in their first ever NFL game. I did see Morgan make a few plays in run support, and he made a nice tackle on the RB on a safety blitz around the left side of our line.
What do you guys think?

To add
even though he wasn’t drafted, Savage impressed me on some inside runs. Either the defense lost him for a bit behind the linemen, or he has good vision (or a little of both). I can’t see him beating out Charles for the role of change-of-pace back, but I don’t know if he would clear waivers either. I would be a little bummed to see him get snagged by someone else (like the Vikings ;) ) Plus, my grandparents live in Stillwater, so I have had a soft spot for OSU Cowboys my whole life.

Cottam dropped one pass
by Thigpen on a bootleg, but it was Tyler’s fault.

Tyler's Throw
Reminded me of that Peyton Manning spoof ad for the United Way where he’s nailing little kids with hard throws. Thiggy doesn’t take anything off his throws, even if he’s only five frigging yards away from the guy with no defenders in between them.
Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

thigpen
also telegraphed every single pass he was attempted. if he ever wants to see real-game action or even end up as our second string he’s going to have to learn to look-off the corners before passing

draft picks
As far as draft picks, Iwould pick cottam.He showed good hands and nimble feet for such a big guy. He should only get better learning from the greatest tight end in NFL history. IF he can stay healthy.

I have to admit
that as much as I love Dorsey and Albert, the draftee I was most excited about after the draft was Cottam – I have a feeling he has the potential to do a better than reasonable job of filling TG’s huge shoes in a few years.
