We still don't know if 75% of these guys drafted over the past few years are any good or not. The core and best players on this team were layup picks (Burrow, Chase) and free agents (Hilton, Reader, Awuzie, Orlando, Karras, Cappa).
Drafted by us: Burrow (1), Mixon (2), Chase (1), Higgins (2), Boyd (2), J. Williams (1), Volson (4); Hubbard (3), Wilson (3), Pratt (3), CTB (2), D. Hill (1); McPherson (5), Robbins (6).
14/25 starters were drafted by us. 7/11 on offense. 5/11 on D. And 2 of 3 of the specialists. If you want to include the returners, both of those (KR: T. Williams/Evans & PR: C. Jones) were drafted as well. 16/27.
FA signings: O. Brown, Cappa, Karras, I. Smith; Hendrickson, Reader, Awuzie, Hilton, Scott; Adomitis. 10/25 (27). 4/11 on O, 5/11 on D, 1/3 (5) on specials.
Trade: BJ Hill (subsequently re-signed).
Bates (drafted) & Bell (FA) obviously big parts of this team as well. As Burrow, Chase, Higgins, Hendrickson, Wilson, & Pratt get paid, we are gonna have to rely on rookies more.
