Worse draft in the Burrow Era

Anybody claiming this draft is a bust or a success is just projecting. We won't know for three years. Personally, I think this is going to turn out to be a fantastic draft. Stewart will become a wrecking machine, Knight will shore up LB play, Fairchild will take the left guard position and hold it. Between him and Zeus, Joe should not feel pressure from the blind side. The RB we drafted seems to have a lot of potential. But realistically, we won't know until we know. 

I've watched South Carolina Gamecocks Defense vs ... on youtube desperate to see anything that could sell me on Knight and just don't see it in Knight from the actual game film. If you are watching highlights maybe you can sell yourself on the pick.... Certainly not a 2nd round grade. Certainly many more players that could have made a difference. 

We needed a revamped defense this offseason to turn it around in the division, and while folks are trying to stretch the draft and adding TJ to make it seem like we got the revamped D we all said was needed at the close of the season, it just didn't happen.  

I've sold myself on the other picks but just can't see it in Knight. I've tried. 3 picks on Defense, 2 LB's in the first 4 picks. Just not what anyone expected when dreaming of a revamped defense flushed with new talent heading into 2025. In one of the best dline draft classes in 2 decades.
