With our rookie draftees, I was braced for disappointment upon seeing each guy's "consensus" ratings, which both looked weaker than my scout's. So it goes, but neither looks awful. I think long term both will remain useful, but instead of nabbing a CB1 and TE1 for the next decade, I suspect they will be more like CB2 and TE2/1. Both are conspicuously lacking in maxed-out ratings, rather are plentiful in the "useful range of relevant stuff" which is fine for your 3rd round pick, but seems disappointing with guys from the top 40 selections.

(edit to add: Just so disappointing with this FB/TE guy... my staff is really good at scouting, and they see several MAX ratings for him - PassB, RR, 3DC, End, ST. Now that I get my sneak peek, I see the real assessment is that he projects in the 70s/80s in each of those...basically the low end of a wide range. And with many of those grading out like RR at 21/77, he might actually top out at only, what, 55 or 60? Sucks)
