I just dunno, man.
We're so used to seeing 3-4 instant starters from these S&F drafts.
Even ROY starters. All Pros, even.
But this year? Not so much, huh?
Goff. Still looking for his first real game snap.
Higbee. A single reception for 2 yards.
Cooper. Hurt. No real snaps yet.
Thomas. Has played well on ST, but been invisible in passing game.
Forrest. Has shown some potential, but he's relegated to 3rd LB status and will be on the field 35% of time, at most. Good pick, however.
Hemingway. Slight ST contributor only.
All have potential yet to contribute this year, of course. Goff, Higbee, and Cooper might be significant contributors this year, actually.
But if we're gonna be totally honest, we've received virtually zilch from this draft class. At least so far. And we just passed the season's quarter pole.
The reality is that you should not plan on getting any significant contributions from players dratted after the 3rd round. There is a reason these guys were 4th rounders and lower. Sometime you get lucky but more often than not they either don't make it or take a lot more time to develop because they have a lot more warts than 1st and 2nd rounders.
The Eagles has only one pick in the first 2 rounds and they only have one starter from their draft. Guess who? Do you think they are whining about it? LOL
Two things, max.
1) Yeah, it's unrealistic to expect too much from players picked after the 3rd round. But I've been spoiled by picks such as Gaines, Wichmann, and UDFA gems too numerous to mention.
2) Geez, why did you have to pull on that Wentz string? Dang! Lol.
