Well, in ‘17 Kupp and JJ were clear HR’s. Especially where they were picked, respectively. Everett looks promising as he enters his 3rd year, to say the least. And Reynolds could start for some teams. Neither Everett or Reynolds are HR’s (yet), but they may be doubles or triples don’t you think? BTW, Ebu was a starter in his 2nd year, sooooo...

In ‘18 it’s not so clear. Noteboom, Allen, and Kiser are all projected ‘19 starters on an elite SB level team. All drafted in the 3rd round or later. Not yet with the lofty status of a Kupp or a JJ, however. In addition, JFM and Joseph-Day are expected to be strong rotational contributors, if not outright starters. Demby appears to be well positioned to be first off the bench for our OL, maybe even a potential starter at RG. Very impressive group, to say the least, but no HR’s.

Way too early to judge the ‘19 draft class, of course, but what Ram fan isn’t excited about the potential of Rapp, Long, Henderson, and Gaines? I mean, for THIS year, maybe? And nobody better go to sleep on Evans and Edwards, either. One, or both, could be starters as soon as the ‘20 season based upon Kromer’s track record. Looking like a great draft class at this point, huh?

Helluva start by Snead and McVay. Two clear HR’s already and quite a few triples and doubles as well in this small sample.

Hard to know the answer after only two years. Hard to hit a Homer when you traded your high draft picks for players. Cooks trade gets a triple. Some might say HR but, because his high contract and not being a true #1 WR I go triple. Talib is a triple because of short term contract while Peters is a double. Fowler to be determined.

Kupp and JJ are the only ones so far.

Everett is a little bit of a mystery. He has had some production but, not enough for his draft position. He is a stretch double. He needs to play more.

Reynolds is a double considering a 4th round pick. I'm not sure where he would fit in around the league.

This year could clear things up for the 2018 draft class with Noteboom, Allen, JFM, SJD and Kiser. While 2019 looks good with expected early contributions from 4-5 players.

I remember when a whole Rams draft class would never see the field. So yes, I am liking what I see from Snead as a GM.

For a 4th rounder, like Reynolds, to contribute as much as he has is at least a triple. You have to take into account the player's draft position.
