Last year we had 6 draft picks who played over 25% of the offense or defense snaps (not counting special teams). Lawson 42%, Mixon 40%, Glasglow 36%, Willis 31%, Evans 27%, and Malone 26%. That is very rare for us. In fact it is the same number of rookies playing over 25% as from our previous 4 drafts combined ('16 Boyd 68%, '15 Kroft 33%, '14 Hill 47% and Bodine 100%, '13 Bernard 54% and Eifert 59%). The '17 class production is even more impressive when you consider we got ZERO from the first round.
If we get that type of contribution from this year's draft and Ross becomes a starter we will be in pretty good shape.
