Looks like there is enough talent there-but the big thing is the mental aspect. Can they stay out of trouble once they sign for big money? Can they learn the playbook? Did they really learn from past mistakes?
This really is a Boom or Bust draft. History always favors the Bust side unfortunately.

Yeah.
Given the history of these kind of players, on our team and across the NFL, we're looking at Nicolas, White, and possibly someone like Robinson not sticking around the team for a full rookie contract. It's reasonable to expect Murray and Ehinger to be solid depth pieces. Hogan is one giant wild card-- honestly, I don't think he has the talent to be a reliable primary backup. I think we've got Murray around for that, and if another team pays him too much after his contract is done, we'll give Hogan a try, but I'm really not that big of a fan of him.
We're depending a lot on Jones and Russell to make this draft class sing. If they can become good starters, this draft class was a pretty decent success. Both players have a reasonable shot at being just that. I like them a lot. Any other guy from this class who surpasses expectations is frosting on the cake.
And I'm not even going to factor in Tyreek Hill in this analysis, because he will be a paraplegic some time around early August when the weatherman pays him a visit.
