The thing about drafting new players is you never really know if they're going to be great players until they're actually great players..
I wish I had a nickel for every good college player projected to be a great NFL player that didn't..or a nickel for everyone who ever thought that having the number one overall pick in the draft was going to win a championship or for every player labeled a bust their first few seasons that turned out to be pretty good after all..
I'm in no way predicting these guys are going to be great players down the road, but drafting replacements year after year carries no guarantees of success.
