Reading this R2-R4 picks argument have no impact players, mediocre records argument...
Well, isn't that special...sound like SATAN to me... Let's look at some R3 picks in the about the last ten years, shall we... Curtis Martin, RB, Boston (NE to the rest of you) Tedy Bruschi, LB, NE Ronde Barber, CB, Bucs Mike Vrabel, LB, Steelers (now of NE) Jason Taylor, DE, Dolphins Hines Ward, WR, Steelers Olin Kreutz, C, Baers Joey Porter, LB, Steelers Laveranues Coles, WR, JETS Brian Westbrook, RB, Philly Jason Witten, TE, Cowboys Lance Briggs, LB, Baers Kevin Curtis, WR, Rams Ricky Manning, CB, Panthers Angelo Crowell, LB, Bills (And Haslett picked Cie Grant earlier in R3, Swell) Huggie Bear Fargas, RB, Raidars Chris Simms, QB, Bucs Matt Schaub, QB, Falcones (Brett Favre, Schaub, Gotta Love Those Falcon Choices on who to keep) Chris Cooley, TE, Redskins Bernard Berrian, WR, Baers Frank Gore, RB, San Fran Justin Tuck, DE, New York Giants Ellis Hobs, DB, NE Nick Kaczur, OL, NE James Jones, WR Green Bay Took about 5 minutes to cut/paste these guys while eating a piece of cake being forced-fed by my daughter, really... And Joe Montana was a Round 3 pick...sooooo.... the R2-R4 picks argument has no impact players is pretty much right there with the Earth is Flat Theory... And granted, though the Draft is somewhat a Roulette... I like what Grant Hill said of the famous/infamous ending to the Duke/Kentucky elite 8 game, "Luck favors the Prepared Man" Do your preparation... Bet as many numbers as you can... And the magic will happen... 90% of NFL front office jobs are for elite country club types who see less stress than a Cruise Director, but a select few take their jobs seriously, appreciate the game of football, and display a forthright work ethic that gets results... Man, I miss Jim Finks... As far as this On/Off year thing, the Saints need to gain picks as after their Off Year both at the draft and on the field, they better get it On are the fan base will turn, especially with only seven games at Da Dome this year... |

So theoretically, of all the picks in the third round, 2-3 of the players would be in the same status as the 25 guys you named. Again, value can be found all throughout the draft whether the value of the player is a franchise, all pro player, a quality starter, a career backup, or a special teams ace. Value is certainly available in the middle rounds but the chances of a guy turning into a quality starter isnt always so great. |
