Yeah, I’d say so. Going down the line:
- Speaks: has a long ways to go, has shown improvement
- Nnadi: starting NT, shows potential to start there for foreseeable future
- DOD: current starting dime linebacker, only guy who can cover a running back whatsoever, which is exactly what he was drafted to do
- Watts: flashed playmaker skills early, got hurt
- Smith: one of the best kick returners in football, has upside at corner
- McKenzie: redshirting as he learns a new position, has starter potential with a chance to be really good if he gets technique down (LDT like)
So all things considered, I’d say he’s done fine. Most draft classes with 1st round picks are much thinner than that even at this point in the season.
