Whiffing the Draft has finally shown up

2017 Draft was gangbusters. Since then

Our 1st Round Draft Picks have been :
Marcus Davenport x two #1’s
Cesar Ruiz
Payton Turner

Our 3-6th round picks have been depth contributors and ST players like they at least should be. But our 1st Round picks have been misses. Flat out. You can’t miss that bad that often and sustain Championship Football. Our 1st Round guys can’t get on he field (Davenport and Turner ) or have been reserve level performers ( Ruiz)

2021

Calling our drafts out as anything other than good is terrible.

We have a collection of drafted AP and Pro-bowlers over the past 5 years and Davenport is arguably the best DE in the league when healthy.
