Sure right now. Look back at their previous 5-10 draft classes and let me know which ones were amazing outside of mostly their first or possibly second round picks.
I will give the Chiefs 2020 draft was really good. The rest are just par for the course. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Lol. Interior dline was just as bad as need as interior oline was. You are always stuck on position. If the player is worth it take him especially on the dline, hopefully they are. Double dipping on the dline is not close to double dipping on LB. If half of our picks were WRs you would be stoked about it.
The key to being good in the NFL. Have a good QB and don't bomb your first round picks. All the rest is just get lucky every now and then.

Trying to find better talent where others overlook whether it be smaller school guys, players coming off injuries, etc... If it works out you're a genius but if it doesn't you're a fool. At some point it'd be nice to find a guy who just drafts players that were really good college players that played against good competition and who fit the philosophy of the team we are trying to build. Bro. Pittsburgh just missed on a qb.
I challenge anyone to just go to profootballreference and just look through the picks made in previous years. Very few are special. Most of those teams just did a much better job of keeping their guys. Our draftees did fairly fine, a lot of multi year starters just several for not the Jaguars.
The franchise is a mess because instead of paying Ramsey we traded him for Chaisson and Etienne I believe and replaced him with cj Henderson. Those are the mistakes. A lot of teams like the Eagles seem to have their draft boards follow the posted draft boards (consensus) so every year they get annointed as these great drafters. But look back at their drafts 3-4 years later and there isn't much difference between them and almost all others. Especially if you just look at good teams.

If not, then what the heck were you thinking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD0O-Yc9094 We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

He knew his worth and didn't have to put up with it. I don't condone his method, but understand the why.

I try to do that in my life. (Don’t always succeed.) Even if I thought I was smarter than everyone else in the room, it would be dumb to assume that if everyone else doesn’t see it my way, I’m the one who’s right and they’re wrong. Draft is all about probabilities. You won't hit on every pick. It's impossible. But not all draft strategies are equal. Over time some teams, such as the steelers, for example, are better than others. And it bears out in their record. Only one losing season since the turn of the century. The absolute first criteria, especially for early picks, should be were you a really good college football player. Were you rated highly based on your performance on the field and not because you tested well. If you weren't a really good college player that's just one more variable and unknown you have to speculate about. Our first rounder was a good college football player. Our second wasn't. Maybe the injury set him back who knows but he wasn't that good. Our third was solid but the testing shot him up draft boards. Maybe the tape didn't tell the story. Maybe his flaws, such as bad tackling, can be fixed. But again it's all about the probabilities. Any of these guys could end up a hall of famer but what are the odds. ________________________________________________ Scouting well is all that matters. Draft philosophy is all fluff.

According to ESPN, he had 3 INTs and 5 passes defended. He's always been overrated. By comparison, Darious Williams was 13th ranked. 4 INTs and 19 passes defended. Having good corners is important. Having "elite" ones is not. ![]() Fix the O-Line!

Again he isn't missing in the first round, which is the goal, but neither is Baalke. The other game Id like to play is which teams past three drafts would you straight up trade for our last three? That's not counting this year because we know nothing on this year. 21, 22, 23 tell me which teams draft over those three years you'd straight up trade. I'm sure there are some im just curious which.

I like Williams, but he aint Ramsey and it isn't close. But I know your really dumb hate for a football player will stay clouding your judgement. https://twitter.com/elitetakes_/status/1...6939222136 https://twitter.com/CameronWolfe/status/...0358040014 (04-28-2024, 09:10 PM)rfc17 Wrote:(04-28-2024, 07:51 PM)jj82284 Wrote: Bro.

Maason smith was an elite Hs prospect had a really good freshman year and then tore his acl. Not to mention, his DC Is on the staff. The characterization that he wasn't that good us specious. I already mentioned Devon Foster. Top ten pff tackle with an 85 rb score, that probably projects as your starting RT next year. We show less advertisements to registered users.

I just didn’t like them being taken rather than the OL help we desperately need. If UFDA signing Jones from Oregon pans out, I’ll take feel a lot better about the draft.

You put Noah gray in there. And there is no argument Fortner is a contributed. Dude started for three years.
