Graham has probably been the best from the 3rd round. I don't care where we find them (draft, FA, street) whatever just get us some hungry players that want to play. We don't have that now. |

One good draft in the last 10 years is as bad as it sounds. |

Re: Another one bites the dust hey yay ya ya ya - Tavon Rooks
Looking at that list - remember Chip Vaughn and Stanley Arnoux
Came out of that vaunted wake forest Defense that was incredible, Chip Vaughn barely made it out of training camp and Arnoux lasted half a season on the active roster. |

Re: Another one bites the dust hey yay ya ya ya - Tavon Rooks
Well said rez. It seems like we have quite a bit of negative nancies on here lately. So what our team didn't make it this year, there are 24 other teams in the same position right now and when it comes down to it there can be only one champion. That doesn't mean all hope is lost, it just means this team wasn't ready. Prime example is the cowboys. Last year they sucked, and this year they look like Americas team again. Though it is my belief that the NFC championship will be packers vs panthers. Anybody else have a prediction?

Re: Another one bites the dust hey yay ya ya ya - Tavon Rooks
Jimmy Graham, Cam Jordan, Mark Ingram, Akiem Hicks, Kenny Stills, Kenny Vacarro, Terron Armstead, and Brandin Cooks come to mind within the last 5 years. I'll even throw Malcolm Jenkins in there. John Jenkins has shown flashes. It really hasn't been that bad. Like I said, the draft is hit or miss. This isn't Madden. You can't scout the players overall rating.
