1. - Wirfs has been pretty ridiculous...

2. - Winfield has been really good as well...  he has some great instincts.

3. - Keyshawn Vaughn hasn't had much playing time and has been up and down.  He had some costly mistakes in a couple games.

4. - Tyler Johnson looks good but is not getting playing time because its a crowded room.

Most people graded the NE draft class in the bottom 5 this year (us included).

It's been one of Bill's stronger classes. Onwenu is a ridiculous steal, Dugger has established himself as a starter as a roaming S/LB, Uche has shown good burst off the edge, Herron has had starts at RT and done ok as well. The TEs are disappointing, but been deliberately kept back

Graded it a C-, now it should be a B+

Curious to see what happens with Uche he looked like an interesting prospect.  I know he looked pretty impressive at the senior bowl.

As a Hokie, even I was shocked Keene went in the third. That said, I think NE is a good place to develop a swiss army knife.

Steelers had a very good draft class this year.

rd1: Micca Fitzpatrick - Not technically a draft pick but he did cost them the first rounder for 2020 so...

rd2: Chase Claypool - 62 Rec, 873 yds, 14.1 y/r, 9 TD receiving 2 rushing Putting him 4th among the rookie WR in yds and rec. 1st in TDs

rd3: Alex Highsmith - Exception showing for a former walk-on 3rd round OLB.  Has shown the talent to terrorize QB and OT in the future.

rd4a: Anthony McFarland Jr. - Showed some speed but was limited due to crowded backfield and a lack of a running game.

rd4b: Kevin Dotson: Able to step in wk 1 and play OG at a high level.  Very good showing for a player not invited to the combine.

 

The rest got participation trophies.

Chaisson has been flat out bad. Really think our scheme is doing him no favors but you'd hope for a flash here and there.

 

I had high hopes for Chaisson.  I thought he was one of the better OLB prospects in the draft.  Always looked like he was shot out of a cannon for the jump he would get on the snap ( in college).

Definitely jumped the gun. We played him out of position at DE as we run a 4-3 but the light definitely came on the past 5-6 weeks of the season.
