A lot of F's on that report.

Good to see Will Clapp make the most of an opportunity.

It just shows how much of a crap shoot the draft actually is. It is, of course, a necessary means to keep a roster going, but there is always that very large degree of uncertainty. A team can go from an incredible four starters in one draft year to none the next, and then back up to a couple the following year.

I'm probably one of Ireland's biggest fans but 2017 was his best year. He's been kind of hit or miss since then. We absolutely have to stop drafting these players just to move them to a new position. It does not work! Sometimes we are too creative and out think ourselves.

This isn't high school math where you average grades to get a final score with F's dragging down the over all average. Just looking at 2018 as presented 3 out of 7 draft picks contributed to our recent successes, that's 43% success by my HS math. Isn't the league average in the 30's?

We've won our division 4 years in a row, not a lot of holes to fill.

Boston Scott turned out good too, for the Feagles once he got cut. The rest... meh!

It's around 35% that end up making rosters. As you pointed out, the better the returning roster the more difficult it is for an incoming rookie to make that roster. For many that ends up being their only shot.
