Reflecting on Chuck's earlier comments about our draft choices:

1. Clowney - injured. Due back soon.
2. Su'a-Filo - MIA. Have seen extremely little of him.
3. Federowicz - Blocks well, drops passes
3a. Nix - Filling up two spots on IR I believe.
4. Savage - third stringer.
Blue, Pagan, Hal - Making plays on special teams and backups.

Chuck is flustered by this 3-1 start and needs something to whine about like a baby needs it's blanky.

But Chuck is still right that the first 3 rounds of this year's draft class do not look very good right now.

We all know it is tough to grade a draft class after four weeks into their rookie seasons, but yes, the early round picks do not appear to be slam dunks. Clowney, when healthy, does, but questions about his ongoing, long-term ability to stay healthy seem valid right now.

Couple that with those like me who wanted to see a QB (ahem, Teddy), and the early rounds seem even more depressing.

There have been some great late round and FA pickups this year though, which tend to be decisions made less by committee and more by the scouts, I would presume.
