Quote:Not sure what to make of this. 

 

Our draft the past two years have been universally lauded.  I don't see how we could have two back to back good to great drafts and still have the worst roster in the league.

 

Seems to me one of four possibilities-perhaps some combination:

 

1.  The experts were wrong about our drafts.

 

2.  The experts forgot about our drafts when writing their analysis.

 

3.  The experts are wrong about our roster now.

 

4.  The talent was so lacking, that even two good drafts can't overcome it.

 

You're putting way too much thought into this. 

 

Ultimately, these "experts" (you're being generous by labeling them as such, but I'll go with it) are simply lazy.  That allows them to laud the drafts and other personnel moves made by the team, but then completely shelf that and focus strictly on the records the past couple of years.  They don't care about any tangible improvements the team has made, and they're not going to spend their time researching a team that has a media market that doesn't register on their radar.
