I’m conflicted here because I really like this draft class.
Emphasis on ‘most exceed’ here.
My choices are as follows and in this order of likelihood:
Tre Tomlinson. I’m trying to not get carried away here but I genuinely think Snead hit a HR here. I project Tomlinson as a 1st year starter, probably by opening day.
Zack Evans. If Akers falters at all, this kid could become our starter for next 4 years.
Davis Allen. Helluva 5th round pick on a team starving for quality TE play. TE’s don’t usually play early, but the need is so great that I think McVay force-feeds him and we’re all gonna be pleasantly surprised.
Warren McClendon. The ‘alpha male’ on that Georgia OL. Don’t be surprised if he’s in the thick of that battle for starting RG as a rookie and actually wins it. Great value pick, imo.
Stetson Bennett. He’s not gonna supplant a healthy Stafford, but I expect him to continue to exceed all expectations and be a quality backup this year and possibly our starter when Stafford finally hangs ‘em up.
As an aside, I didn’t list either Avila or Ethan Evans because expectations for both are already sky high and this thread is about ‘most exceeding’.
Thoughts?
