Quote:Joeckel and Cyprien are average players in the NFL.

 

Neither will get confused as one of the better players at their positions. 

 

When those are your first 2 picks in the rebuild, you expect and hope for much better.  It has to be much better in order for your rebuild to actually finish strong.  

 

You don't rebuild by tearing everything down and then drafting guys that are average at best. 

 

I think if you asked Dave Caldwell and Gus Bradley, I think both would have to tell you they are disappointed in how Joeckel, Cyprien, and Gratz are playing thus far.  That is concerning because they "should have" made big improvements from year 1 to year 2.
