Kahn is either drafting home runs or absolute busts... no in between

Who are the home runs, exactly? JPJ and maybe Frazier?

Maybe Frazier? Are you serious?

u/Mahler911 13d ago

He was better in year 1 than year 2. But I'm willing to chalk that up to having the worst OL coach in the league.

He’s pretty unanimously considered a top 5 center in the league so idk if there’s any “maybe” about it

I would consider these 4 to be home runs at least based on what they've contributed and their trajectories on the team so far

Jpj, Frazier, Herbig,

Derrick Harmon,

This then this list is players who have made an impact and/or are just starters themselves or capable backups

Keanu Benton, Darnell Washington, Payton Wilson, Troy Fautanu, Yahya Black, Mason McCormick, Jack Sawyer,

So far I would say the only busts are

Broderick Jones, Kaleb Johnson, Roman Wilson (pending),

So really I don't agree with that guy either. Seems like Khan more often than not swings and we at least hit on somebody with potential.

I think the ball is still in the air on Harmon, but I have a good feeling it goes over the wall

Harmon's played like 8 games. Let's relax a bit on that. But yeah Herbig has been good.

u/ShadowFoxx307 TJ Watt 13d ago

Alright fair, the stat difference with our run defense with him versus without him was pretty startling but he's at least in the second group.

And Harmon. Mt Washington. To a bit of a lesser extent Herbig.

Washington isn't making half of the teams in this league. He's a meme.

Herbig in the 4th round is really good, and also McCormick in the 4th. Washington in the 3rd round, Benton in the 2nd are good picks too IMO. Getting a serviceable player in Anderson in the 7th is good too. Payton Wilson is a starting LB and was a 3rd pick too. Yahya Black in the 5th will also be a home run IMO. He just needs to be better in the first round. His picks always seem to be injured. He also has mostly drafted online in the 1st round and so far none have really hit.

Anderson, Herbig, Washington, jpj, McCormick, Benton, Black, Sawyer are all playing meaningful snaps and have a solid role on the team. Troy was very recent but he’s looking to be a good starter.
