It usually takes a few years to get a really good objective look at a draft class. You typically can’t judge a group of players until they’ve been in the league for a couple of years and either developed or washed out of the league. This is especially true for late-round picks, who usually have a hard time getting on the field for meaningful snaps that help them develop.
