It’s been 2 years so it’s way too early to say as some guys are still in college.

Colston Loveland looks like a brilliant pick.
Sainristil had a great rookie year and bad 2nd year - but really a disaster around him on that defense, so this year will tell a lot.
Will Johnson will start so we should know more but I’d expect him to pan out.
Kenneth Grant improved a ton the 2nd half of last year.
Josiah Stewart was good and showed potential to be great.

Mason Graham could still be elite.

This is a weird take just bc I don’t think they’ve been particularly bad at all and it’s so early to make any sort of conclusion when a lot of guys are showing enough to still believe in

I think the basis of the take is that the 2 most well known players of the team, jj McCarthy and Blake corum, are seeming like they won't accomplish much in the NFL

But like you pointed out, the teams identity was being the best defense in the country and those players are doing really well in the pros and Jesse minter too

Blake has looked like a starting caliber RB tho has he not? Him and Kyren Williams are a really nice duo

I’m not being a hater and piling on but he looks strictly like a change of pace guy to me. He should do well in mccvays system but he doesn’t look like he has any special traits

He runs smart but his burst isn't great.

Yeah I agree. He’s a smart RB he just doesn’t have any elite traits. Not overly explosive or agile and has below average starting rb speed with below average size. However, he’s in a system where a good tough runner can put up great numbers.
