With the way we whiffed on Foskey, Turner, and Davenport I would not worry too much about the possibility that an oline pick may not contribute immediately. At least some of our first round oline picks have been able to hold down a starting job the first year. When is the last time we drafted a dline who did that?
I don't believe we have "whiffed" on Foskey or Turner. Turner has looked good when he has been out there. Foskey is still young and could still develop into something good.

I might be wrong here but don't first and second round draft picks usually have high expectations? Should our picks develop sooner? Uhmmm......Yeah!!!

+1.

Detroit 2023 draft picks - Jamar Gibbs, LaPorta, Brian Branch.

GB - Jayden Reed (see Saints game), Karl Brooks

Texans - CJ Stroud (ROTY), Will Anderson (DROY), Scruggs

Rams - Puka (5th rounder), Avila (started in all 17 games at guard)

^^ all rookies, all impact players coming out of camp.

I mention these teams because we took L's from every single one. You better start hitting on your draft picks, otherwise it's not going to be pretty.

It depends upon the position. Linemen commonly take longer to develop from everything I have read and heard. Especially since the NCAA rules have changed and the offenses have been dumbed down due to lack of allowed player access time. Twenty hours per week ... total! And that includes all gameday activities including lunch and breakfast.

The flag football at the Pro bowl is better than the game. Maybe it's the future.

Yeah, Paul Anderson, the great line coach, has mentioned several times recently how ill-prepared the players are these days coming out of college.

Not sure about Foskey but Turner just needs to get and stay healthy.
