Guys like Boyd are good, but we haven't had enough "hits" lately, and that's a huge reason why we've missed the playoffs 3 years straight. The roster just isn't what it was from 2011-2015. We haven't replenished talent.
I get that people are in a feel good mood with Marv gone, and I'm not trying to be overly negative here. I just feel that questions about our drafting (over the last few years) are more than fair. We've had some major whiffs and not enough big time players drafted.
I would say Bates, Hubbard, Mixon, Lawson, WJ3 lately is pretty good.
We will see about Price and Ross who i believe just need to stay healthy in order to become what i think they can.
Ross is a boom or bust player and both Price and Ross have lots of talent and upside.
Willis is another player i would like to see come around like i thought he would. Just saying it is a bit early with some of these players and for people to think that Bates and Hubbard were not great picks is a bit nutz to me. Couldn't of expected more out of these two rookies last year. They played hell a good right off the bat and that doesn't usually happen with 2nd and 3rd round picks.
Billings man, this is the guy i really want to show up and play well along with Price and Ross.
