On your typical NFL team the first 3 picks normally make the team. And I'm quite sure ours are locks this season. Given our LBer issues ADG is like 99.375% a lock.
I believe they were after Kareem and I'd say there's a good chance he makes the team. Pretty much same thing with Adeniji. They targeted him in the draft and really like him ! I'll be very surprised if he doesn't make the roster ?
So that leaves Bailey. And given where we're at with that group I wouldn't consider him having no chance.
I think all 7 might have made in 2016 (WJIII, Boyd, Vigil, Billings, Westerman, Core and Fejedelem), 2005 (Pollack, Thurman, Henry, Ghiaciuc, Kieft, Tab Perry and Fanene), 2001 (Justin Smith, Chad, Brewer, Rudi, Levya, Riall Johnson and TJ), 2000 (Warrick, Roman, Dugans, Keaton, Bean, Rackers, St Louis) - which were the last four times we had a single pick in each round.
There's probably some IR (Kieft) and players who were cut and re-signed in amongst that list though.
It does seem that having fewer picks concentrates the minds. Every other year this century there was someone who was cut, often multiple players!

Glad that wasn't just me!
