people expectations on hits with draft picks are not realistic. Love to see a percentage of hits by round by team across the league to put more realistic expectations.
I do know the foundation of Quick Gurley Quinn and Austin is something that many teams do not have.
I do know that 3 of these 4 are down a little right now, but I believe that will change.
Quick was 33rd overall, Or very close to a 1st round pick. He is a miss. And as far as a foundation guy, I wouldn't bet on him being resigned.
Austin was 8th overall - In a previous post I mentioned Green, Jones, Beckham all drafted around 6, all hits. Austin is an overpaid gadget player. Not a true #1 WR that teams gameplan around. Miss
Gurley - He might be a miss or a hit, but you know why we cannot tell? because of all the misses on that OL.
Which brings me to:
Greg Robinson - Miss, there is just no way around it. He has time, but he has a bad rep and he hasn't shown me anything that leads me to believe he will get it mentally.
As far as Quinn, cannot count him for Snead since that wasn't his pick, and as far as a foundation piece he better figure a way to stay healthy because 7 sacks over his last 16 games is not exactly tearing up the NFL.
Listen, I gave the Snead/Fisher combo a very good hit % as far as defensive picks. I have no unrealistic expectations about draft picks and where they are drafted. I spend the better part of my winter focused on the draft. I stand by my statement that they have missed repeatedly on the offensive side of the ball and it shows when year in and year out the Rams have a bottom 5 offense.
