Gettlemen led us to believe we would draft 2 immediate starters

[jarhead]

Who are they? I know Star will start but after that it gets fuzzy.Is Short better than DEdwards?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO FIND OUT

lol

The way they want to handle the DL rotation Short will basically be a starter, yes.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

he'll get plenty of snaps

Rivera said something about reducing Dwans snaps, I get the feeling Short will start and Dwan will play mainly in packages.

[Rags]

Dwan might spell Star on some passing downs, Dwan isn't really a run stuffer.

[top dawg]

It is just my personal belief that 4 out of the 5 could start if that's what is necessary. Luckily, barring injury, it appears that we have the depth that will allow them to gradually make the transition.

3 starters from the draft, plus possibly 1 from UDFA

WHat does it say about the talent level of the team when a GM can say he will get 2 starters from a draft with no top 10 pick?

[CatofWar]

Or the talent level from the draft. Either way its win/win.

Nothing.  Every team in the league has at least 2 roster spots in the starting rotation on the field at any time that could be elevated through the draft.  This team does not lack overall talent and you know that.

Pick the top 10 teams in the league and tell me which ones will be starting their second rounder

Several teams, possibly.  

 

1. Bengals - Giovanni Bernard

2. 49ers - Tank Carradine and Vance McDonald (depends if you consider a 2nd TE a starter, but they ran the 2TE set a lot with Walker)

3. Ravens - Arthur Brown (depends on McClain but I think Brown wins)  

4. Packers - Eddie Lacy

 

 

Our talent level isn't dramatically worse than other teams just because we would start two draft picks.
