Grade This Draft

[Luvnit2]

I am in the camp after first 15 picks, no safe picks to be great starters in year 1 or 2.

I did not see Yoshi playing at all but had some TD's and was very good ST player as well. Jones on other hand drafted earlier, but injury derailed his first season. Turner was thrown into the fire due to injury at CB as well. he was not great so playing time even though significant, is not the barometer for success for rookies.

The deeper the roster, the harder for a rookie to make an impact. Our new DTs are walking into a room with Hill, Rankins and Carter. On other hand, our slot receiver competition could be interesting. Burton may get more of an opportunity to impress as a result. It does not make Mims (behind 2 tackles who won super bowls) a bad pick as hopefully he can learn from them both. I look back years ago to Palmer sitting behind Kitna in year one, it was a great pick, but he did not have an immediate impact.

We want our OL to flourish and keep Joe clean. No need to force players into starting roles until they are ready, hopefully many of them by the end of the year heading into the playoffs are playing lie vets.
