If this thread was started 3 years from the draft when most of the picks made the team and were regular contributors then this thread would be well deserved.

Barring injury, two players are locks to be studs: Kerrigan and Jenkins.
Another two are likely to be studs: Helu and Hank
Then you have four guys with promise: White, Thompson, Gomes, and Neild.

Not to mention that Shanahan has relatively rigorous standards to make his teams compared to those fellas running the show in 2008.

Helu yes, Hank, let's hold off on that -- DT and MK were supposed to be studs as well but little things kept them from getting to even serviceable players. Right now, hank has got the 'little thing' bug - namely, catching the ball which is kind of a big thing for a WR

Only due to shoddy analysis and "hope" were Kelly and Thomas ever deemed to be serviceable from the get-go. Thomas was known to be raw and project and Kelly was known to be "cursed" with injuries.

Besides likely is around 60-80% in this context. I already considered the possibility of failure.
