He's gonna need to be.

WILL start right away.
Flowers might challenge for a starting CB role
What? WILL start right away.
Charles should be a good change of pace from LJ as a backup
Yes.
Cottam was the best TE in the draft, IMO, and should be a good replacement for Gonzo if he's not around.
We'll disagree on best TE but I'm glad we got him. He needs to work on blocking.
Morgan is a little rough around the edges but has huge upside. Should be a good Special Teams contributor this year and possibly a starter in the future.
Franklin, Physically gifted but has a learning disability,poor route running and isn't agressive enough when a catch is challenged. Still, his prototypical build, speed and decent hands make him a solid pick in round 4.
I like his speed for his size and I'm a Mizzou homer but I've seen him drop some passes he should catch. My fear is if he does that with us, he won't be on the roster for long.
looking at the rest of the draft it looks like they picked up the player with the best physical makeups for their positions that were availible. They will all need extensive coaching and technique work but all have prototyipcal measurables and you can't teach that.
