Combine Expectations

Now, there are going to be at least 3 future stars, who's teams will suffer because they will be having to sit out and heal during OTAs, rather than building chemistry and learning their team's various schemes and systems.

While these injuries are tough for the kids, does this in turn become a benefit for Cincy? How far does both Queen and Shenault drop? To our 2nd and 3rd rounder perhaps?
