Gettlemen led us to believe we would draft 2 immediate starters

[L-TownCat]

Yeah, What he said^^^^^^^^

[OchoNueve]

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

 

Packers will start Eddie Lacy and I would assume Swearinger will start for the Texans although that isn't concrete.

I think it was more of a goal than a promise....

 

But Kugbila could end up the starter.  He's got physical tools Hangartner just doesn't have.  If he shows up to training camp and learns the assignments and does well he could very well start the season as a starter like Silatolu did last year.  Just cuz he got low SAT scores doesn't necessarily mean he's dumb.  He is from a foreign country, that is a factor on standardized tests...

I dont care where Gettlemen gets the starters from. Hell he could find one at iKea for all I care.  The guy knows talent so if he says they can start I'm good with that.

Deleted from life or the forum? I don't want to die...

Lester could end up stealing a safety role...

Star and Short will contribute in big ways

[Jackofalltrades]

Kugbila could end up starting.

 

Barner could "start" as an ST'er.

[Rags]

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.

 

To add on to this

 

Andre Dobson with the Patriots

D. J. Swearinger with the Texans

Jon Bostic with the Bears

David Amerson with the Redskins (Might be a S.)

Le'Veon Bell with the Steelers.

Short is pretty much a 1st rounder

[jamos14]

Short is pretty much a 1st rounder

 

 

Not really, he was the 44th pick. ~  Middle of 2nd round.

[rayzor]

we'll end up with three. maybe not immediately, but in the next couple years. star will start right away. short will rotate in behind dwan for at least this year. kugbila will probably rotate in behind hangartner...probably on rushing downs and goalline situations, but in thevery near future kugbila will be starting at RG. blaine won't be starting unless we lose two starters,but even then he'll be ok. barner all depends on what we do with deangelo.

all in all, we got a very solid group of picks. no scrubs. all are good enough to be solid contributors.

Yea really, talent wise he's a 1st rounder.

[AceBoogie]

If this team is so talented why was Hurney fired and not Rivera? Questions that make you go hmmmm
