The Future is Bright (Rookies)

[GrimCoconut]

What are you talking about? The '13 draft class is terrible.

1st round Elam, boarding on bust status; 2nd round Art Brown, dressed for 1 game, bust status; 4th round John Simon lost off PS; 6th round KLM 2yrs on IR, Ryan Jensen on PS.

 

Fortunately we got B.Williams in the 3rd and R.Wagner in the 5th that are starters. So 25% success rate from 8 picks is not worth crowing about in the Raven nest.

Actually, it's excellent. To get Rick Wagner, Kyle Juszczyk and Brandon Williams where we did and with the impact they had is absolutely superb. That's three starters right there, and you expect that but it rarely ever happens in a draft class. Furthermore, if you review our history you will see that we normally don't even get that many starters from our drafts. We primarily get role players and those role players do well but they're situational and get signed by other teams. 

 

Honestly, I would love to come away from every draft class with 3 starters but that's really hard to do, especially when these three starters are very very good.
