Re: Grade Our Draft!

Any way you look at it the draft is a crapshoot, and there's no such thing as a guaranteed pick. So, ML and SP decided to make some risky picks this year around, which does make the likelihood of all of the picks panning out somewhat more unlikely. But if they do hit gold with some of these guys, they'll be hailed as masterminds.

So, all in all, it's a good move by them since most are not expecting much from these lower picks, and they can always point to the injuries as one of the reasons why they didn't deliver as expected.

If you've noticed I haven't bought new jerseys yet lol. I am just not prepared to yell at paint in tubes, is rather wait until the canvas has been painted. There are articles literally saying out roster and starting lineup are set! Well sh1t Jerry, all we need are 53 at camp then.

Sean does a lot with UDFA's, Loomis states that before the draft.

Is it worth a 7 day depression to get so upset about something entirely out of your control? Seriously, members are attacking other members telling them what they "can't come here and say"...

Re: Grade Our Draft!

You grade drafts based on the potential and quality of players you picked, not on whether they addressed some perceived need.
Don't knock the players we picked just because they don't play Center.

Coach Payton already said there were only a hand full of Centers and their value didn't align with our draft picks.

Reach for a Center and the parade starts lining up, reach for a WR and here come the fire and brimstone.

Re: Grade Our Draft!

Fourth in defense even with all of our injuries is what I'm sayin'! We were fine especially with our FA pickups. We could be so much better than last year with a little help for the offensive side. My draft order was:
WR
OL
Trade away
OL
WR
OL
K

But hell, we needed somebody in this thread to throw a fit. Everyone else was being way too calm. It wouldn't have been Black and Gold. com without that.

Oh yeah, and now I have to throw out some stats and tell all of you how uninformed you all are or something insulting just to round it out.

Ummm, don't really have any stats and my weekend was way too good overall to pick any fights so I guess I'll call it good, duct tape the teeth marks on my couch and say, "Who dat?"

Now when do the training camp debates start?
