The number of starters we passed on to pick undersized nickel backs is classic hurney. I hate for people to lose their jobs but hopefully the new owners have seen enough.
I just don't get this. I really don't. This kid's a monster and has played at an elite level since his clearing with NO dropoff....at all. If he doesn't end up on a roster, the NFL has officially lost it's collective mind.
Not much new news. People putting bids together and figuring out how many billions to go.This Carter kid isn't good. Yes, he led the team in tackles for 50 years but he also led the team in yards allowed after contact. I can't count how many times this kid got steam rolled in the games I watched.
Looks like we are quickly back to the same old same old. What's the word on new ownership groups up there anyway? It sucks being down here in FL now and not able to keep up all that easily.
like i said typical hurney. projects and undersized guys with a couple of reaches scattered in.
I think we are going to pick up a free agent RB. I'm not exactly sure who was cut vs. who is going into free agency (which makes a big difference since we shouldn't be willing to lose our third round comp pick). I'd love CJ Anderson as a Stewart replacement, and he was a cut.
It's funny. The one pick that people seemed most upset with was Gaulden in the third, with tons of people saying that Hurney sucks after the first (I ventured into reddit, holy #### those people were angry).
People were upset because Gaulden was a reach. A big reach. His highest projection was 6th round. Making that pick and trading our other 3 rd rounder for essentially nothing while skipping on several players that filled positions of need that were projected starters makes me upset. Oh and never venture into Reddit. It's ugly over there.
Hurney drafted Josh Norman in the 5th round, and although it took Norman until his 3rd year to start playing well, Hurney saw something in him and he was right that he had the potential to be a great player. Greg Hardy was a 6th rounder and Captain Munnerlyn was a 7th rounder.
2nd rd - Everette Brown, Sherod Martin, Jimmy Clausan,
Yup...the experts are raving about this draft. Talking like Gaulden was one of the best picks of the draft and a HOF lock.
I'm thinking more OLB and try to get him in on some 3-4 defense looks. They picked up a DL, his name escapes me, that is really a 3-4 nose tackle type so maybe that's in the cards.
Moore has very good body control and his speciality seems to be catching balls thrown behind him which Cam does do.
I'd like to see him and Jackson blitzing off the edge at various times in games. Could be very effective.
You can't control someone turning into an idiot. Hardy was one of the best DEs in the game until he went off the rails. Norman should have been playing earlier than he was...I remember tons of fans begging for him to be on the field more earlier. If you get one All-Pro season out of a sixth round pick, that's a win anyway.BassNBrew said:
Well actually no they didn't. Because he never lived up to his draft position. So they got it wrong and missed on someone more productive. And it isn't just me or Bass saying it was a reach numerous professionals said the same predraft. I don't really care where other teams had him. There were legitimately higher rated needs position players available that were passed on for a slow safety. And then we traded our next pick to draft a bunch of part timers and raw project players. This is not going to be remembered as a great draft IMO.
