That is who they want to give snaps, and if they have guys they want to develop they will want to give them the snaps.
I think we are in year two of the rebuild.
I wish they could have fixed everything, but there just wasn't enough draft picks. It will take another draft.
The biggest thing I wish they had done was take a chance on Hurst. That heartbeat problem must be pretty bad.

Ya, when they said 3 yr rebuild most of us assumed we was starting year 2.... but they clarified and we are only in the 1st year of rebuilding.
Did you trust Pagano and Grigson evaluating player talent? Hello bowling ball of butcher knives Trent Richardson.
Henry Anderson was cheap talent still playing out his rookie contract and a much better player than the 7th round talent we drafted. Even if he is injury prone we have these rookies to do heavy rotations to keep them all fresh and less likely to get injured.
This draft was a C, maybe C+ at best when we had all those top 75 picks. There were a lot of great players that fell to us in the 2nd rounds where we had 3 picks and we drafted a 3rd round guard instead of a true difference maker.
Ballard doesn't get to claim he drafts talent above team need anymore. Pure and simple. Because there were loads of more talented skilled players than Braden Smith, and in positions of need to boot.
We got a few high risk high reward players, hopefully they pan out or this draft was more of a bust than a boom.
