Quote:I don't think that draft was even that bad. Branch, Marshall and Anger are all servicible to good NFL players.


Blackmon you could argue either way possibly.

 

It's quite the statement that a draft in which the team has essentially one guy left contributing in only the most marginal of ways and a punter selected WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too high is what we consider "not that bad" around here. It was an awful draft, and it only seems better by comparison to the rest of the landfill hauls of Gene Smith over his time picking players. I think you're really exaggerating to call any of those three "good." A great punter is still just a no one for any good team, and Anger isn't even great as punters go, he's just pretty good, which makes him pretty much an afterthought.
