Crazy how he and Tunsil are from the same draft and doing so well. Kinda cool

very much so although it did take until last year for Tunsil to get in high gear. That being said they are both performing really well now.
idk that draft was one of the most loaded at the top drafts for a while with high quality prospects - elite talents at the top and that included at least 2 (but maybe more offensive lineman)
but the talent in that draft overall was crazy...
Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, Joey Bosa, Yannick Ngakoue, Ronnie Stanley, Jalen Ramsey, Kevin Byard, DeForest Buckner, Chris Jones, Xavien Howard, Michael Thomas, Hunter Henry, Tyreek Hill, Laremy Tunsil, Jaylon Smith, Myles Jack, Jack Conklin, Ryan Kelly, Cody Whitehair, Zeke, Derrick Henry, Jared Goff (???), Jacoby Brissett, Will Fuller, Tyler Boyd, Austin Hooper, Kenny Clark, Sheldon Rankins, Jarran Reed, Deion Jones, Joe Schobert, Keanu Neal, Vernon Hargreaves among many... many... others

all those 4th round picks
we could have done better. A lot better, all things considered.

We did pretty damn good for day three picks if you ask me. Chris Moore is one of the better special team players in the league and still gives us a decent 4th WR. Tavon Young is an exceptional slot CB. Matt Judon was in the 5th Round and Maurcie Canady was in the 6th round. We've gotten more out of Canady than a typical 6th rounder. BTW, Chris Clark was also a 6th rounder in a later round.
I hate to tell you Sami, but you have to have depth players on your team and some of our day three picks have been good enough to start on many teams.
Remember, there is a salary cap.
tbf we got tavon young and matt judon as well as stanley - we could have done better but that's 3 would be cornerstones of the 2019 team (if tavon were healthy)
and at least 2 players from that draft are getting 2nd contracts
now obviously there were severe missed opportunities - the entirety of day 2, that 4th round looked incredible for a couple of years and now is more like a work of art - "the anatomy of a disappointing draft pick" - the special teamer, the talented but injured RB, the talented but injured CB, the talented but injured and then bad DL, the mediocre but injured OL...
hmmm...
we got canady in that draft too i think
that first bit is true - but i think we were all kidding ourselves about that 2nd bit - he's been a mediocre 5th receiver this year and that feels about where he should be

he has totally disappointed this year, but that's because we need him more than we should.
so frustrating - yet inevitable - looks like the day 2 miss trend finally ended in 2018 but who knows - its been going on since... 2013 (but our day 2 picks in that draft were arthur brown - epic miss and brandon williams...) - the last draft where we hit on all our day 2 picks might have been 2009... but only because we only had 1 pick on day 2 which turned into Paul Kruger

Missing on so many ballers in 2016 we could really use now.

It was the same last year. He doesn't know how to run routes. Makes a play every 7 games on average.
last year I was hoping he'd get on the field more. Now I'm hoping he isn't on the field much at all.

Good thing is, we finally have cap room to pay our own best guys

Damn you’re right. I forgot how loaded that class was. Wow.
