Stormy Weather Moonbeam’s Draft grades
Ok Gator, you say fix the problem. Well, lately you think the problem has been Haslett and Brooks. I just have a few questions that I hope you don\'t mind answering.
1. What\'s 2-3 players do you have in mind that could fix our problems through the draft? You can use how everything went down as a crutch, but I\'d like to see what you have to say anyways? 2. Is it really Haslett\'s fault that half the defense was hurt at the beginning of last year? Or was it his fault Deuce was hurt at the end of 2002 and we became one demensional? 3. Aaron Brooks is one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL and yet you want to get rid of him, why? He has been improving his passing every year by the way. 4. I bet when we gave up the farm for Ricky Williams a few years back, you were jumping for joy because we couldn\'t run the ball. Were you willing to do almost the same thing for Hall, Robinson, or Vilma just to fill a need? Another thing, everybody wants to trade up to get an unproven player in the draft, which costs a trade of first rounders and a second (at the least), but are still unwilling to give a mere 2nd rounder for a proven corner like Ty Law. I just don\'t understand that. Also, I do agree with Haslett and other experts when they say rotating your D-linemen in and out make you a better defense. Look at the Patriots and Panthers. As far as our overall draft is concerned, I like the fact that we drafted talent and athleticism. It was also glad to hear these guys are intelligent, good people, and have instincts, basically intangibles you can\'t coach. I remember we aquired Rodgers via trade last year after the draft and he panned out pretty well for us. I feel the Saints will do the same, but for a corner this year. All I am saying is you just have to be patient. The regular season is a long ways away so there still is time to add depth and maybe talent at corner. Things could be a lot worse right now. |
