Overall

Let’s talk briefly about each of the players with incomplete grades.

Bryce Love has a chance to be an explosive, dynamic runner if he can stay away from the injury bugs.  Some analysts think he can have a good impact for the next three years or more.

Wes Martin is likely on his way to being a journeyman guard in the NFL and out of the league in three years – give or take a bit.  In only his second season, Martin needs to prove that he belongs.

Ross Pierschbacher is probably going to bounce around the league for the next two years or so and see his NFL career end at that time.

Jordan Brailford will probably spend this season on a practice squad (perhaps the WFT) and could be out of the NFL prior to the 2021 season.

The 2019 draft is very difficult to judge at this particular time.  The grade will obviously change in the next few years and we’ll be there to let you know all about it.  Before we end this series, there are some final thoughts and opinions as we finally close out the last decade.

Grade: B+
