I'm always enamored how it happens all the time but people always act surprised when rookies struggle and then get a lot better the next year or two.

Because of the rare exceptions when a rookie comes out producing at a high level right out of the gate or shortly thereafter.  It shouldn't take 5 years on a rookie, but it might take up to 3 before they become what they are.  You'd like to see signs in year 1 or 2 though.

Sure and rbs it's not great when they do poorly because it's somewhat an easy position to play (sorry guys).  TE has historically been a slow position to implement, although with some of today's slot receiver type TE it seems to be getting easier to be productive in a pass catching situation.

Team has come a long way since 2020. Didn't realize Diamond Dave had 12 picks that year.

Baalke really inherited a mess. Hopefully his picks from last year and this month pay off.

Man that was a bad draft. Even looking back four years. DaVon Hamilton probably the best player?

Actually that is possible to do. May want JPJ in the center slot however..  Can dream can't we?

Jenkins at 48.  Been thinking that for a while anyway

All of the above moves are possibilities. Especially Jenkins at 48 and especially Zinter at some point.

I'd be ok with that, I'd take JPJ in the first if he's there pretty much no matter what. I think he's going to be the best center in the game in two seasons and potentially one of the best ever.
