So how many legit starters did we get out of this draft?

Did we get 4 total from the previous 4 drafts combined?

Much more.

2016 - Bradberry

2017 - CMC, Samuel, Moton, Butker

2018 - DJ, Donte

2019 - Burns

There's probably another 4 or so contributors in there with guys like Corn Elder, Ian Thomas, Dennis Daley, Marquis Haynes, etc

Being forced to play because there is no other choice technically does not make one a "starter" quality player.   But most are showing promise at least.

This! Just because we are depleted doesn't mean they are good.

Looks promising but let’s pump the brakes a bit. Remember in 2014 we thought we had KB, Bene, Tre, and Ealy all as legit starters... Wound up being zero from that draft. 

I still would have loved to see KB if he didn’t blow his knee that preseason. From all reports he was dominating camp before it happened

Yeah I remember him looking amazing that camp but honestly I doubt it would’ve ended much different for him. He never had an NFL work ethic. The knee injury may have expedited his decline but I don’t think he ever would’ve become a star like he could have based on his raw talent.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
