I usually don't get very upset about draft picks because I don't follow college football closely enough to know what players are very good, but I do get irritated about cases of obvious need based picks or bad positional value. Examples would be taking Fournette in the top five and Etienne in the first round. Taking running backs in the first round is dumb, taking them in the top five should merit a sniper taking the GM out before he can call that pick in.

yeah, my comment was mainly tongue in cheek.

There's usually a few guys each year that I fall in love with and really hope we land, but otherwise unless we're doing something boneheaded most of the time I can find a reason why they went with their preference over mine.

Stupid Baalke. He's been in the league for how long now, and he doesn't understand that you can only take one guy with the pick.

No wonder we're always so turrible
