We can't fix everything in 2 drafts, but we are well on our way. |
Who is our franchise back?
RE: Impact players - I think you mean 'potential'. We don't CURRENTLY have a top 3 center, OR a shut-down #1 corner. We have two guys that might become those players.
We have 2 starting WRs - for the Browns, which isn't saying much when you look at our recent history. My question is would either of our starting receivers be #1 and #2 receivers on top teams in the league? Right now, I would say no, but they've only had one season, and I'm not expecting them to perform at that level yet.
TJ Ward has yet to play the first regular-season snap, as do any of the guys we just drafted.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
