Quote:If Bortles develops from the promise he showed in preseason, this draft could be one of the best ever in NFL history.


 

Colvin and Smith were huge steals at their slots, and played up to that. Lee, Robinson, and Bowanko have outplayed their slots as rookies. Linder is far better than I ever hoped. Storm Johnson is the only disappointment so far, and there's still a chance he could have a breakout season in the future.

It speaks volumes that a 7th round pick represents a draft's only "disappointment."

 

My hopes now are...

 

1.  Olson, Hackett and Co Can develop Blake Bortles into at least a good QB in this year.

 

2.  That Lee, Robinson and Hurns all pick up the new offense quickly.  Now that they've had a season to go up against NFL defenses and coverages, to learn how NFL DBs play, and how to attack coverages, hopefully it'll translate into learning the offense more quickly and more effective play.

 

3.  Linder and Bowanko can play effectively in the new blocking schemes.  Linder I'm confident can fit in almost any scheme.  Bowanko, I'm not so confident, thugh he played well last year.

 

4.  That Colvin and Smith keep doing what they did last year, only more consistently and over the course of a full year.
