I can't remember a draft like this in a long while where so many rookies have contributed. Beyond that, it looks like we have multiple players that could be true difference makers moving forward. All of this without a 1st rounder!!!

Was this Sneed flexing a bit after being under Fisher's thumb the last few years? Was this McVays/Wade Phillips influence on Snead's draft? Or were we just due to hit on a bunch or picks?

2nd- Everett
3rd - Kupp
3rd- John Johnson
4th- Reynolds
4th - Ebukam

I left Smart and Price off the list because we don't REALLY know what they are yet. The five listed above here I think have all shown that they will be legit players in this league. Maybe a few even better than that.

I don't think any team is "just due to hit in a bunch of picks"...I tink it's Ahead and McVay being in the same page with regard to
what this team needed to become competitive..Turns out that they've been even better than anybody could have thought they would be...I do agree that Snead being unshackled from Fisher is very important...
 
Let's not forget about Sam Rogers. He should be on the team next year with a full year in an NFL weight room.

Also, Snead is responsible for unearthing several key UDFAs in Justin Davis (RB), Johnny Mundt (TE), Jake Eldrenkamp (OG/C, and Omarius Bryant (NT).

Imagine what McSnead can do with a first round pick next year.
