General Manager Notes: early draft class 2089 look
Yay, rookies arrived, the staff has made a first report on our five draft picks.
1.9 DT
Darien Fletcher
Overall grade: 45/65
Our staff sees Fletcher potentially as being in the top 10 pass rushers. We're already loaded in that regard, but Fletcher also brings the endurance and run stopping ability to be an improvement of the D-Line.

1.13 QB
Brandon Bell
Overall grade: 10/50
Yes, we somewhat reached for this kid. He's clearly more of a second round value guy, but at this position you can never know when or where he flies off the board. Has this kind strengths? Not really. Does he have any weaknesses? He's green and scouted to be worst in short passes. He can avoid sacks, his intelligence came back as a 1/100. Yeah...

6.7 CB
Andres Provo
Overall grade: 30/50
Initial look doesn't make me wow on him, but what would you expect from a sixth round pick? His zone defense is okay, man to man and bump and run slightly lower than I wish to see here. Endurance is a good thing. Probably lacks the skills to make several picks in a season, will be just an ok option on running downs.

7.9 WR
Harris Wilkerson
Overall Grade: 30/50
So, what has to give here? How did this kid fall to the seventh round? The obvious part: lack of route running skills, seemingly. Complete void might me more precise. But otherwise, this kid looks pretty promising. At the very least, we'll have a special teamer again that we wouldn't mind to occasionally see enter the field on offense.

Mel Kinney
Overall Grade: 15/50
Green, but potentially a complete blocker. Not the stand out guy our OC claimed he'd be, but still promising. Yet so green...

Overall, we got five players with potential very close to 50 on a 1 to 100 scale. Fletcher is the clear exception. The current development of these kids is on a wide range from very green (Bell, Kinney) to ready to play (Fletcher). We have four mentors on roster: QB Moe Sheldon, KH/QB Karsten Muchnick, DT Francisco Burgess and C Butch Pearson. Both coordinators are very good at player development and young talent. On top of their play calling skills.
