Ehhh last year we didnt even have a pick until #58 and Veach turned it into three studs. We have four picks inside the top 63 this year and plenty of ammunition in later rounds to move up if they choose. It is an extremely important draft I suppose I have high expectations.

I mean, we should probably define "starter" because Bolton only played 58% of the snaps last year and we all consider him a starter.

If last years draft is the measuring stick people are gonna be disappointed
If you can get 2-3 players from each draft you’re fine |

As I mentioned in my previous post, Bolton only played 58% of the snap last year. He's not really a "starter" and I think that kind of contribution is more realistic for anybody we draft, especially at WR and DE. |

Let me ask it another way:
The Bills last year took Rousseau and Basham. Rousseau played about half of their total defensive snaps and Basham about 40%. They combined for 7 sacks. By most accounts, the Bills did good drafting those 2. Would you consider that good? Because I think that's precisely the kind of scenario we're looking at. |

Bolton, Humphrey and Smith were all named to the Pro Football Writers All Rookie team. Veach didnt trade one of the most dynamic wide receivers ever for a damn box of chocolates. Make no mistake Veach has to nail this draft. I expect some misses but with all the draft capital I also expect several hits.

Yeah I think we draft 2 DE’s. One with one of our three picks in the top 50 and then one in the third rd like Isaiah Thomas

For some people, I think that would be considered a failure at worst and a push at best. I think people think we're going to draft two guys and they're going to play all the time - that's just not going to happen unless they play a position like RT. |

And they'll all finish with 3-6 sacks or so. Are people going to be happy with that? Because that's EXACTLY what I expect to happen. |

I mean I dont have a scientific definition for you. A bonified and unquestioned starter in the NFL. Im not saying I expect 4 dudes showing up on the all rookie team. Its a huge draft though and we better make some hay. Think Zach Greinke trade for the Royals and turning that into Cain and Escobar two pillars in a World Series run. You better cash in on the Tyreek trade with those picks.
