Quote:Additionally he could only build from what was available.

 

I can't think of someone he's missed out on taking so far.

 

It's not like Andrew Luck or Randy Moss were available in the 2013 draft, and I think he did really well with the 2014 draft, too. Still, none of the guys taken this year will probably be immediate impacts.

 

You can't think of someone he's missed out so far? Its still early and these guys careers can change, but if we're going to play hindsight (like we love to do with our former GMs)

 

1 - Ansah > Luke

2 - Bernard, Alonso, Lacy > Cyprien

3 - Mathieu, Allen > Gratz

5 - Stacy > Robinson

6 - Ellington > Evans

 

 

Quite frankly, the top of last year's draft was all promise rather than impact. Luke's season got cut short, Cyp started out slow before turning it up in the 2nd half, and Gratz was in and out of the lineup due to injury. That's our top 3 picks last season. Ace was probably the best pick in the 4th round. This 2013 class lives on "hype" of what they can be, rather than what they actually did last season.
