Early Vision For Chauncey Golston?

I can feel myself getting overhyped about this rookie crop.

Could this draft class exceed the contributions of the "dirty Dozen" draft? How about the cowboys defensive draft of 2005?

Many Super Bowl teams can look back to that one draft that was the turning point of their franchise.

For the Steelers, it was the 1974 draft that gave them four HOFers in their first five picks. They included two WR's, their MLB and their center.

For the Ravens, it was their very first draft when their two 1st rounders were HOFers Ray Lewis and Jonathan Ogden who combined for a total 24 Pro Bowls and 11 1st team All Pro selections.

For the Packers it was their 1958 draft when three of the first five picks were HOFers Jim Taylor, Ray Nitschke, and Jerry Kramer. Six of their first seven picks made at least one pro bowl.

It would be beautiful to have that historic draft, the type that turns the page and begins a new dynasty...…..

…....Okay, I'm back. Anyway, yeah, excited about Golston and the rest of the rookies, hope he can contribute something.

There was apparently a long-term plan for Golston and Odighizuwa when they were drafted. Patience may be required to see that plan pan out.

I think these were considered stable picks -- players who are supposed to be ready and able to contribute now instead of just having long-term potential. Essentially high floor, low ceiling. Doesn't mean they won't grow and develop, but maybe we were looking more at the short term than the long term when we took them.
 
I don't see much of a future at all for Golston, honestly. He's Crawford-esque in that he lacks the speed to threaten the corner at DE, so OTs can sit on his power moves and just shut them down. Craw was a zero rushing from DE, and Golston's cut from the same mold. He's got a quick first step that might play at 3T, but I think both Diggy and Craw were better athletes.

His tape screams #4 end to me. Bottom of the roster guy who you can flex to either end or tackle if depth gets dicey, or bring in as an extra body on goal line packages, but you never want to see him starting for 80 snaps. He's about the same caliber talent-wise as Armstrong and Anae, and I like both those guys better for their little bit of edge rushing juice.

I've got no clue why we picked him in the 3rd... this is a guy who should have gone 5th or 6th round.
