I'd feel great. But I'm realistic about rookie expectations. I don't expect "impact players" immediately. That's mostly a fantasy....while it can happen,it's rare for rookies, especially when you're talking about late 2nd and 3rd round picks.

I'd be fine with that level of progress and expect a bigger contribution in their 2nd year and beyond.

I feel the same as you.

As an aside, since I expect bigger contributions in year 2, if some of these players are getting the vast majority of the snaps such as Burgess and Akers, then that means that the 2018 draft looks a lot worse. It would call into question the Long and Hendo picks.

Ultimately though, we just want productive players at those positions.
