Just for fun, here's my quick take on the BEST possible "somewhat realistic" outcome from our draft:
R1 DeVante Parker WR 6'3" 209 -- wins starting spot -- solid rookie year 900+ yards 10TDs. Excels at contested catch and shows surprising big-play potential. Needs to work on strength and sharper routes. All rookie team candidate.
R2 Jordan Phillips NT 6'5" 329 -- used 30-40% in rotation. Proves to be a dominant space eater with good agility and surprising quicks for such a big. Needs to work on stamina (cardio) and shed some baby fat. Battles with S FL heat. His back is a non issue.
R4 Jamil Douglas OG 6'4" 304 -- excels at pulling and lands a spot in rotation @LG. Needs to work on pass pro. Needs to add core strength. Solid rookie season with lots of upside relative to his athleticism. Positive impact for OL.
R5 Bobby McCain CB 5'9" -- gets on the field as slot CB. Demonstrates essential football toughness and competes well. Excels on teams and handles work at KR and PR.
Great attitude and work habits. A coaches favorite.
R5 Jay Ajayi RB 6'0" 221 -- knee proves to be "stable" -- he gets 10+ touches a game. Excels in 3rd down package at both pass pro and receiver out of backfield. Good compliment to Miller. We feature a trio of backs based on D&D and matchups. Adds very good depth @RB. Contributes positively to teams.
R5 Cedric Thompson FS 6'0" 208 -- solid backup with potential to challenge for starting spot in 2016. Very solid on teams. Aggressive with surprising nasty streak.
R5 Tony Lippett WR 6'2" 192 -- very solid on teams and adds overall "athletic depth" to the roster. Conversion to CB is big project. Consummate "team" player.
