That is a pretty low expectation level. When the Giants won it they nailed something like 7 picks.

I said quality starters. That Giants team got contributions from 7 or 8 guys, not 7 starters. Also, that was a serious exception (which was why it was talked about so much), not the norm for a "good" draft.

GMScud is right. The Giants got 7 contributors, not 7 starters, out of that draft. They also had 10 or 11 picks that draft and we had about half of that this year. No one starts 7 rookies unless they are the Lions.

If every team got 7 starters out of every draft, there'd be even more turnover in the NFL every year.

Two starters is a reasonable expectation and we may have gotten two.
