Okay, early free agency is over, we get a first look at the rookie class.
Ben's robots rate ours #13 overall, basically commensurate with the draft position at 21. We had to use an extra couple picks to get there, but that's affirmation for me, as I am pretty often down in the dumps with my drafts.
To my eye, now that we get a look:
-RB Hector Schwartz looks like who we thought we were getting there, not much at Hole Recognition, though, so maybe he's useless. On paper, a nice versatile RB2.
-Two receivers look like end-of-bench types, disappointing for picks in rounds 2 and 4
-T Ben Norris might stick if he projects as a chem asset, but likely never earns any starts (he could be a candidate to bump up, I guess)
-K Hayden Cogan looks good enough
-DT Christopher Hancock looks like a solid pure DL...none of these dumb coverage bars, and that stuff, but if he lives up to his bars (and early signs are good there) then he should be a full-duty guy with 70+ pass rush technique and high endurance. Given our needs and planning, happy with this pick.
-other defensive players look marginal
