We are clearly in agreement re: BL. Right now, those who criticized him as a potential "tweener" may have a point. Still, there's hope.

(5) Dustin Fry: Fry was a fifth rounder, not a fourth rounder. It is concerning that he hasn't been able to see time with all our injuries, but he hasn't shown me anything to qualify him as a miss just yet. Work In Progress.
True enough on the round selected. If the O line had been healthy this year, I'd probably call him a Work in Progress. But, with all the injuries, the fact that he could not crack the lineup concerns me. Ultimately, he's right on the line between M and W.

That puts my count at five hits, eight WIP's, and five misses. I think that's a solid first two years.
I agree that the first 2 years have been solid (meaning good, but not great).
