This year's draft picks...

[Mr. Scot]

Just one preseason game in, but the early returns look decent.

[Jon Snow]

This certainly seems to be a fruitful draft.  Early returns are promising.

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.

Yeah it’s super early, but looks very promising. I think Marahall goes to WR2 when Robbie leaves next year and Shi Smith takes over the slot.

[LinvilleGorge]

So far so good.

[bythenbrs]

Wow.  Two very good drafts in back to back years.  [Last years’ strong draft must have been Rhule’s influence.]  One or two bad contracts to roll off and the Hurney stench may finally be gone from the front office.

[BlackPanther21_]

Agreed, especially thought Marshall, Tremble, and Hoskins looked really solid. Plus Fletcher recovered the fumble. 

[Panthercougar68]

It goes back to the Seattle philosophy of trading down

If you hit on 3-4 player in a single draft it’s a good draft but getting more picks increases your chance on getting those 3-4 players….sometimes you hit the lottery ie Saints 2017

[Jared Patterson]

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

[FearTheCats]

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

I remember when Colbert looked good. I’ll hold judgment for now. 

[MasterAwesome]

Every rookie flashed to varying degrees…it really was very encouraging. They all look like they belong in the NFL so far.

You do that.

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.
