Yes, it was a good Draft class alright besides Robbins who is a pretty bad Punter. Murphy started showing his athleticism and even some
moves late in the season and got a lot of pressures for a rookie not getting a lot of snaps. Turner plays hard and has to adjust to how WR's
play him and learns to be more instinctive in his 2nd year. Battle was a stud late, he is a great tackler and has good instincts and is smart.
Chuck Sizzle didn't get a lot of opportunities but he had a nice Punt Return for a TD against the Ravens and had a big play against the
Chiefs if I remember right. Iosivas could be good if he learns to hold onto the ball through contact better, good size, speed combination.
Chase Brown shown some blazing speed and he can get up to speed fast which helps the OL not have to hold their blocks very long. Love
me some Chase Brown who is also a good pass catching RB out of the backfield. I like DJ Ivey too who I didn't initially like as the last pick
of the Draft with some TE's still available but Poison Ivey shown some good things.
