Who knows, Von Bell could be the next Earl Thomas, Rankins the next LeRoi Glover , yada yada. It will be a few years before we know the answer on how well of a job the scouts did.

Meanwhile ...RELAX.

questioning the decisions of leadership that has made poor personnel decisions and poor draft choices is justified. Not everyone is making an assumption that things will turn out negatively, but we also know the recent history of poor drafts and we aren't going to run around pretending it is all sunshine and rainbows.

the reason for the board is exactly for these type of discussions. No one is pretending, at least i dont think they are, that we know more than guys that have tpsent their entire lives in the sport. Not at all, but since decisions like this have been made in other drafts and they have proven unsuccessful people can question them.

At the end of the day we are all fans and we all hope it is the best draft clas ever
