Rob Ryan even said a couple of weeks ago(again), that he was a project and they knew it when they drafted him.

That Nebraska played a whole different coverage scheme than Rob Ryan does and that it would take him a year for Baptiste to get where Ryan wanted him...

Which is what I see wrong with our whole draft process

While other teams draft NFL ready players, we spend a SECOND rounder on a guy that's played the position for nearly 2 years because he MIGHT develop into something decent

Look how that's turned out for us.

Yeah, he may be a 6'3" beast of a corner next year....(you/we have no idea) Anyways, I'll trust our "professionals" involved in the draft process over anyone spouting off on here.

There's a reason they have the job and why no one here is employed by a team...

I wouldn't trust the people we have drafting...

Not saying we know ****, but if I were as bad at my job as they are... I would be looking for other employment. Our scouting department is among the NFLs worst, when is the last time we have had a stud come out of the draft? When is the last time we hit on any rookies? Your answer is 06... pathetic.

Jimmy Graham count? How about Brandin Cooks? Vaccaro count(sophomore slump excluded)? How about Armstead? Hicks?

or does this one season where nothing went right dictate the rest of their careers?

In all fairness, Jimmy, Vaccaro and Hicks all got hyped up because of one decent season

None of them are anything special, hicks has been invisible all season, Vaccaro has been so bad its hard to miss him and Jimmy is all mouth, no results - much like junior galette.

Remember when Jimmy got in the Seahawks players face last season before the playoff game, he ended the game with 1 catch for 6 yards and 3 drops, big time player right there...

In all fairness; Jimmy has been at the top of the receiving/TD lists since he's been in the league as a TE...

Vaccaro(2nd year) and Hicks(3rd year) are still way young into their careers, I guess this season defines the rest of their careers in your eyes though...

I guess that means Byrd will be horrible from here until retirement too then? I mean if we are only going off this year...

Byrd played well until he was injured.. lead the team in tackles and turn-overs through 4 games.

Vaccaro is your stud that got beat out by two guys not even on the practice squad to start the year lolololol.

JG is the only one since 06...

Can't count Cooks (who we gave a 1st and 3rd for, when we could have gotten Kelvin), if you want to count KV that's fine but he is a bust. Armstead? Did he play this week? Oh that's right he is apart of this **** o-line... Hicks lol ... really Hicks.. lol that's a reach...
