With the exception of BC, that was a pretty awful draft class.

Side note - SJB was recently picked up by the Ravens.

wasn't that RR leading the way?

Yes we are. One of our main problems on offense is we have 0 players that can stretch the field.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson - that was my pick. A boring old line man to protect Drew. I was not sold on what we had believe it or not. hind sight Bush was the right pick.

Short list that year
D'Brickashaw Ferguson
A.J. Hawk
Reggie Bush
Michael Huff
Haloti Ngata

i remember (my self included) many fans being disappointed in not getting Williams. I am also glad that no one listens to me. and why i rarely chime in. I have a fondness of our (perspective wise) recent string of Running Backs in the post winning a play off game era. From "Run Ricky Run" to having two TWO RBs in the pro bowl. and I love the as a color commentator.

I disagree 100% with this thought! Stretching the field is Ginn's forte and with Coleman, Thomas, and Kamara's yards after the catch ability we have the opportunity for big plays spreading the ball around rather than looking solely for Cooks...

I want a taller version of Cooks. Ginn has amazed me but he is not the shiftiest route runner out there,

I really like how far Coleman has come

billyt81 · 12-23-2017, 04:21 PM

Coleman has had some great plays. He really blocks and he breaks tackles, something our other WRs including Thomas have not done.

Which is 100% OK with your 4th WR.

We need a solid #2 or #3 guy to scare defenses.

Ginn is that guy this year when healthy.

We basically need a younger version of Ginn to solidify the WR position.

Nothing wrong with Coleman, he's a solid #4. I'm more disappointed with Snead. He looked like the ideal #2 or #3 guy last year, but took a huge step back this year.

I think he's the most disappointing player on offense so far this year.

Our offense is missing a solid Tight End.
Even when Fleener was playing earlier in the season, that 4th threat was available and the offense was more dangerous.

I hope we draft a tight end this year or bring in a vet in offseason.
