You listed drafts with 1st round picks.
We will be lucky to get 2 quality starters from this draft
And I`ll take that!
Well, Paul, you and Alyo seem to be a bit at variance on the possible starters from this draft.
If I read him correctly, he thought this draft was deep enough that we could find starters (or starter quality players) available through at least round 4. Maybe even round 5 at some positions. Our 5th rounder is practically a late 4th, after all.
Besides, it's not as if we need to pick Pro Bowlers in order to get starters on this roster at many positions.
Depending on whether or not they make the "right" picks, the following seems doable to me, at least:
CB
TE
WR
C
Edge, LB, or S
In some order or another, anyway.
I'm impressed by the personnel moves of Snead and this staff so far. Both in terms of players released, allowed to walk, and acquired (including the Groy attempt).
I see NO reason not to expect a smart and effective draft from these guys. Therefore, 3 or more starters seems doable to me.
We'll see...
If Les Snead can land 4 quality starters from this 2017 draft with no 1st round draft pick, I say give them man a huge raise and long contract extension immediately
