As you are frequently quick to point out when defending MJ, Willis has shown nothing to get overly excited about as of yet.  Glasgow is a nice backup.  Evans is a work in progress and is another player that will be a good ST player, but hasn't shown enough to be penciled in as a starting-caliber player yet.  I like Brandon Wilson.  Ross is an enigma at this point.  I liked the pick, to be honest.  Like you, I also am a big fan of Malone.

Other than Mixon, which one of those players is a surefire starter for the next 5 years?

2017's crop will go a long way if it's as good as you seem to think.  If that's the case, then there should be zero reason to retain guys like LaFell and MJ when you have players like Willis and Malone waiting in the wings to pick up where they've left off.

I agree.

When Lawson bulks up and becomes a 3 down player, then we will see. Maybe he will do that this year, but until he does.....

Some folks post information on the number of snaps that the '17 picks played. That's is not a barometer of quality.  

If Ross and Lawson pan out, then this draft will be a great one.
