If we agree that the 2013 draft was bad due to the lack of players we wish to retain beyond the 4 year mark, can we also agree that by that same standard, the 2014 draft was at least good, based upon credible arguments to be made that Lee, AR15, Linder Telvin Smith, and Hurns have either all been re-signed or are likely to be re-signed, and that Bortles still has a chance to fall within that category?

 

the 2014 draft was much better.

 

I see us keeping Robinson, Linder, Smith, Hurns (he's already re-signed).

 

We will see on Bortles, but I personally don't think he's back with us in 2018.  

 

Unfortunately (at least right now), the 2015 draft also doesn't look very good.

 

Fowler wasn't very good but we have to give him time.

Yeldon was a big reach.

Cann has been poor after a solid rookie year.

Sample is injured nonstop and probably will end up being a bust for that reason.

Rashad Greene started off promising but took a major step back last year.

Bennett never plays.  Sterling looks like he could contribute.

 

I think Caldwell's future really hinges on the 2015 draft class.  If Fowler turns to a 10+ sack guy and a real impact player, then Dave doesn't look so bad.

 

If Fowler ends up behin Ngakoue and becomes a rotational player - I think that also turns into a terrible draft.
