Way too early I know. I’m still hopeful for Saldiveri and Perry. Love Miller when he is able to play, think Bresee has done fine considering his position. Worried about Foskey admittedly.

Not a bad class so far. Most of the 7 picks have produced or shown promise. That’s mainly what can be hoped for in rookies. I’m glad we at least nailed the 1st round pick.

2 definite starters, 2 good future key contributors/starters, 1 decent complimentary player when healthy, and an intriguing developmental mid round QB. Foskey’s the only pick who hasn’t panned out so far as a 2nd rounder but hopefully he’ll settle in after a 2nd pro offseason.

B+ for the overall class’ ceiling. C+ for their rookie production.

If Bresee, Howden, and Perry weren’t splitting snaps or playing behind 5-10 year vets, their first year production would be even better.

Don’t disagree with anything you wrote. I’m only worried about Foskey, Howden and Perry are my faves of the class so far. Whether it be right or wrong I enjoyed the read.

Really don’t understand the grading system here…..Perry is a 6th round pick who not only mad the team but in his first action immediately contributed and scored a TD…..and he gets a C? Makes zero sense…..

Yeah, and the article also said he was stuck behind Tre'Quan Smith for seven games...
