⁵Good debut for what it was. I dont know how much of the returns are concrete. I do think Marshall would translate no matter the class of competition. 

Phil Hoskins was pretty good also.

Chubba has some explosion to his step.

That said, it was an impressive draft class premiere. 

Only gripes this game was the from the left side of the oline, run defense and mlb. Fisher did some work today too, I just wish he was a little faster. 

If Fisher makes the roster we're in trouble. He's not an NFL level athlete, unfortunately. 

The game isn't played in a phone booth anymore - he can't make up for his inability to go sideline-to-sideline with instincts / toughness / football IQ. NFL OCs would absolutely abuse him if he saw any action.

It also helps Rhule coached the senior bowl and got more looks at talent.

We got a gm who traded and traded and traded some more got some slick talent.

At the very  least they showed they belong. Solid first outings for all it seems

I am very pleased. I wholeheartedly believe Rhule and co. are rebuilding this franchise the right way.

I really think Christensen has a chance to be a solid starter, just not sure what position yet.

He looked way better at RT than LG, doesn't have the lower body power to handle DT bull rushes. They should give him some LT reps even tho "His arms are 3/4" too short" or whatever. It was his only position in College and we have nothing else there besides moving our primary RT over there. Depends on which way CMC likes to run the ball because if I'm him I'm running behind Moton over Brady every time

Remember people crying about the starters not playing

Horn, TM Jr, cbubba, Tremble and Nix will all be starters, or at least rotational players. 

And Christianson, deonte brown and Keith Taylor will probably ly be starters within 2 more years. Shi Smith will also be a good backup or special teams player.

I can't remember us ever having a better draft... but to keep things in perspective, this was a bad team that had lost a lot of starters and is rebuilding too, so we had tots of holes to fill.

2001 - Morgan, Jenkins, Smith.

Three All-Pros.

Hoskins was the surprise for me.... Really got a lot of penetration.

God I love penetration.

I think there's a group of people waiting to see how Darnold plays...I mean not many were crying to see Horn out there...but yeah this draft class looking pretty good.

I can't wait to see more of them but man Terrance Marshall Jr. looks like he is going to be special. I hope he lives up to his promise.
