Ben's algorithm rates our rookie class #27 out of 32. That's not adjusted for draft position, it's not "value," it's just quality of the picks by a fairly reliable metric that I don't understand. Ben's Falcons finished #1, despite drafting from the #25 slot.

So, that's probably a fair assessment of how we did in adding talent.

From my eye:

DT Broomfield looks fine, but nothing special, i.e. no maxed-out ratings - ought to be a rotation caliber guy for some time, and will be a chem monster (36 leadership, 99 personality) which helps (and is impossible to forecast in the "improved" FOF game)

LB Lincoln looks like he should be pretty good, I think, I like that pick now, though I don't think he's the Sam we were hoping for, but he may be our Will for a long time

My other defensive picks all look... meh. Even if we get a couple of these guys show some signs of life in preseason (that fickle move from 24/36 to 29/41 from a guy like CB Hakeem) it will still be tough to see anyone truly earning starts to get plugged in as a long term asset.

Yeah... bad draft overall, probably. Fairly typical.
