2012 Draft Class
Round 2: Derek Wolfe
Round 2: Brock Osweiler
Round 3: Ronnie Hillman
Round 4: Omar Bolden
Round 4: Philip Blake
Round 5: Malik Jackson
Round 6: Danny Trevathan
This is the fine wine of draft classes; it only gets better with age.
Just think, a year ago (even a few months ago), Brock Osweiler had done nothing but hold a clipboard, Ronnie Hillman was considered a likely training camp cut and Derek Wolfe‘s most memorable achievement was getting suspended for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
Today, Osweiler is the starting quarterback of a 10-2 team, Hillman is having the best season of his career and Wolfe has transformed into an absolute monster. And that’s without even mentioning Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan, both of which have gone from late-round picks to Pro-Bowl caliber players.
Hell, even Omar Bolden has made some big contributions this season.
And sure, would drafting Levonte David over Osweiler have been a better selection at the time? Probably. But Trevathan has done pretty well for himself, too.
Right now, this looks like pretty great draft class, but in the end, it’ll all depend on what the Brockweiler actually becomes.
