Meaning that there will be no immediate starters and that the players picked will be intended for a one year development cycle/ NFL strength training before taking on starter status?
I’m thinking that it could well be so, maybe even the new strategy.
The 2018 draft was a redshirt draft and it’s looking like a pretty smart one with the benefit of hindsight.
Then there’s the fact that we pick late. Very, very late. And have no 2nd rounder presently. Not to mention that our roster is fairly loaded except for maybe a couple of starting positions.
That sure seems like a recipe for a redshirt draft to me.
If I had to guess, and assuming that we stay at #31, I really see only 2 likely positions that any 31st pick would remotely become a rookie starter. DL and interior OL. That’s it. And of the two I think DL would be easier to crack the starting lineup.
The days of getting 3-4 new starters via draft every year are over, y’all. We is now much more like the Patriots than the Cardinals. Lol.
I love it!
