[QUOTE="RepStar15, post: 693664, member: 10721"] I have been hearing a lot of negativity about the draft selections of the past 3 years. I thought the same thing initially until I looked into it a little more. Compared to other teams (like the Patriots to name one) have 1-2 starters or solid 2nd guys in from the past 3 drafts. Lets take a look and give a quick (arguable "grade" to each selection). I based mine off of where they [I][B]fell in the draft and how well they have produced thus far[/B][/I]: 2013 (5 starters/solid 2nd guys in) 1. Datone Jones: D+ 2. Eddie Lacy: B- 3. David Bakhtari: A 4. JC Tretter: A- 5. Johnathan Franklin: F 6. Micah Hyde: A 7. Josh Boyd: D+ 8. Nate Palmer: C 9. Charles Johnson: F 10. Sam Barrington: B 2014 (4-5 players are starters or solid #2 guys in): 1. Haha Clinton-Dix: A- 2. Davante Adams: A- 3. Khyri Thorton: F 4. Richard Rodgers: C+ 5. Carl Bradford: D 6. Corey Linsley: A 7. Jared Abbrederis: D 8. Demetri Goodson: C 9. Jeff Janis: B+ 2015 (5 players are starters or starting caliber level): 1.Damarious Randall: B 2. Quinten Rollins: B- 3. Ty Montgomery: A 4. Jake Ryan: A+ 5. Brett Hundley: D+ 6. Aaron Ripkowski: A+ 7. Christian Ringo: F 8. Ken are Backman: F 2016 (obviously too early to really tell, but took a stab at it anyways) 5 starters/starting caliber-level/2nd guy in: 1. Kenny Clark: C 2. Jason Spriggs: B 3. Kyler Frackrell: C+ 4. Blake Martinez: A- 5. Dean Lowry: B+ 6. Trevor Davis: C-? 7. Kyle Murphy: ? Whether you agree with the grades or not, overall we are averaging that 5 players a draft are solid contributors to the team in some form. Really not a bad stat at all when you compare to other teams drafts. [/QUOTE]
