Our 2016 draft class

Has this ever happened before?

Last year came close, but I think Alford was put on the practice squad for the beginning of the year and then the year prior, Westbrooks didn't make the team at all.

I wonder what that says about our team. Does keeping your entire draft class on the 53 man roster/IR mean that you're drafting that well that every pick, even those in the late rounds, are extremely good? Or does that mean that we aren't as deep as we think we are?

What are your thoughts on this?

I think we just had a really good draft class. The only one that I didn't think was going to make it was Fej, but I think the only reason why he made it was because our depth at safety isn't that great. If you look at every other pick they have played great so far this preseason. Our first 4 picks were all amazing picks IMO, and our 5th and 6th rounders were very good picks as well. Westerman and Core both have easily outplayed their draft positions IMO (5th and 6th rounds).
