No argument from me at all there.
Nico Johnson was probably the only guy in that group that we didn't draft knowing full well that he was a special teamer or not gonna make the team at all. Ramik Wilson
might have been taken with an eye on eventually being a starter.
But no question - just about everyone in that group was taken as a special teamer and the squad almost certainly never considered them potential starters.
But like I said - the only way to make the exercise sporting was to give the team the benefit of the doubt. And even still, it's a
rough lot.
