We do have (had with Rankins) four 1st rounders on the DL
Rankins 12th overall
Davenport 14th overall
Cam 24th overall
Malcom Brown 32nd overall
3rd rd
Hendrickson 103rd overall
4th rd
Onyemata 120th overall
Tuttle, Roach, Grandy UDFA
I do think Nielsen is a good coach. He has some talent to work with too. Even as 3rd and 4th rounders, Hendrickson and Onyemata had great physical attributes at their pro day. Just small school guys

And Hendrickson went later iirc because he came from a smaller school and was seen as a pass rush specialist/project, and Onyemata because he played in Canada and not many people went to go scout him (seemingly only us and Green Bay really saw him).
So all of these guys are really talented.
But that's not to knock Nielsen. He's getting them to play up to their full potential. Bill Johnson seemed to only get average to above average ability out of similarly talented guys, and they were a lot more inconsistent.
