Not to mention the gems we've uncovered who weren't even drafted. I just don't get the dislike, especially after the putrid drafts of years past. To each his own.

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.
