I wanted to take a look myself. Outside of Addison, you're right, It's not great. In his first 2 drafts, they had a total of 16 picks, but only 4 remain on the roster.
It's kind of astonishing how many guys/picks they've traded.
Btw I totally forgot that Khyree Jackson was killed last year (rip). Auto accident. What a bummer.
Yup as of right now Addison has been the only good pick. And to be honest, that pick was kind of just handed to them. WR depth was a massive need and Addison was the last WR left with a 1st round grade and was the 4th straight WR taken at the time. So that was more of a, hey he’s the last one left, no one else to take.
But ya 4 drafts in, 3 starters (essentially 2 rookies so we don’t know how they will turn out). And 2 rotation guys in Nailor who is just flat out awful and only playing because we’ve had no WR depth and Turner who couldn’t beat out Patrick Jones last year.
This really is as bad of a start as you can get as a GM and drafting. And again none of this is mentioning the fact they had Kyle freaking Hamilton sitting there at 12. Decides to trade down to get a different safety, with a division rival, they get freaking Jameson Williams and we trade down to get Lewis Cine. That move alone will always having me wanting Kwesi fired
