Great post…I think there’s a significant gap between Rhule and the rest of the field…although that division’s not exactly scary and Carolina does have some talent. But having to start a third-round rookie QB (or San Darnold) in a make-it-or-break-it season doesn’t bode well.
i think Stefananski may be a dark horse. The Watson experiment is going to go up in flames, and all those who thought it would be a good idea to make a known sexual predator the face of the franchise will pay the price.
I also think Mr Clean deserves a mention. After the Jets “killed the draft”, expectations might be a little too high in NY, and if Zack Wilson can’t rebound from his disappointing rookie year…
CB and WR are the two most significant position groups…teams generally have three of each on the field…both groups were very strong. I would say it was a good edge class and also a good OT class. Also a great safety class. RB was good. And DT wasn’t even bad…it’s just a devalued position.
People love to badmouth draft classes for some reason. It’s true, this was a bad QB draft, but what other position groups were weak? D Tackle, maybe, and that’s about it. Otherwise, it seems to me it was a very solid class, with a lot of depth.
I’ve thought about that too, but it seems to be off the table…once you start doing that, you’ll end up with only a handful of picks next year, and you might really need them.
