possibly, but does that matter? they drafted 4 players that will likely play a large amount of snaps year 1. That's a pretty big deal. If we can do it again in 2025, they'll be ina  good position for the next few years.

Agreed. The first 3 picks definitely are going to get a lot of playing time and even starts.

Yes…it matters!  You don’t draft non starters in the first 2 rounds.

I don't think i've ever seen you this positive lol

I'm generally positive when I have reason to be and negative when I have reason to be. I think it was a solid draft for depth given what we walked into it with. I have concerns about where our elite defensive players for the next 1-3 years are going to come from, but we weren't in much of a position to do anything about that this year. I would expect next year we'll have to focus on a couple of playmaking defenders. I anticipate needing at least a dominant pass rusher and corner, if not a LB too.

You do when you draft 28th and the talent isn't there. The Safety will be starter this year, just maybe not "day 1". The WR will likely get 60% reps - that's starter level even if he starts the year as "WR3". The RB will likely get 30-40% snaps - that's a significant role. The DT will likley get 40% of the defensive snaps. Does it really matter if they dont get another 10-15% that the "starter" gets?

The biggest deal is at the safety spot where whoever starts will have 80-90% of the snaps.
