Just how things have panned out the past few seasons I believe this draft is condition critical !! They have to get some solid contributors on this swing of the bat.

Why do you feel the 2024 draft was so bad?

Mims looks to be a very good to great RT. Jackson and Jenkins produced.

I would argue only our 3rd round pick Burton is a major concern. I loved the Newton pick in round 5. Anthony showed potential. Ali was doing very well until injured. Lee and our 2nd TE McClachlan toosoon to evalaute. Johnson showed some positives as well.

It is a huge win to get 1 very good starter in year 1. We have a chance for the 2025 class to be very good in next couple of years. Again, coaches need to develop these athletes. Other than Burton, I did not see bad rookeis.

Our FA signing of Rankins was the worst addition of the year. Keeping Cappa was the worst move keeping a player who had digressed starting in 2023
