Loomis has been asked about Rob Ryan several different ways. Keeps repeating that evaluation is ongoing.
Loomis wouldn't confirm departure of TEs coach Terry Malone and WRs coach Henry Ellard.

Hey Mickey......maybe you can stop drafting useless DBs in the draft?

Yeah expecting a guy you drafted in the 2nd rd to beat out some UDFAs is pretty unrealistic. We need to scale expectations back a bt.

are you saying we should also expect our 4th round picks to make the team?

Yea, that kind of grinds my gears.
You shouldn't be taking project picks like that in the 2nd round. It doesn't mean he won't ever pan out, but that was a complete failure

Would be so funny to see him actually develop. You kids are so hormonal.

Red shirt year...
I mean brown was a big project too and we saw how that went. It can go both ways...

This is why I try not to be over reactionary with things. He could be a pro bowler next year (or the year after) but people are already saying he's a bust without giving him a chance. Or he could be a bust but we won't know for a couple of years.
Graham was a project that took a while to develop and that turned out great (minus the injuries). Brown was the flipside. Ingram was a bit of a project(also with injuries) but now you can see his explosiveness (when the line actually makes holes).
How about we wait until year three before we call this. Obviously they see something in him, and he never got cut and put on the PS. If he was that bad we would have seen that happen.
Now Fortt was a bust due to work ethic, and Rooks was a "bust" because if you aren't good enough to play in front of Harris you probably aren't that good.
Cooks, Sunseri, and Powell are all on the right track.

Rooks was a known raw project that they loved his athleticism

I don't mind Projects, But last years class was freaking loaded. I feel liked we were robbed of a really great team because of those reaches. I'm good with 1 pick as a reach, but they seemed to use that whole draft as projects.

Well if you looked at the roster most rookies weren't going to get serious playing time (barring finding a real gem). Only the first rounder was going to get serious play (minus being a bust).
So in that scenario you could play it safe and take much lower ceiling players that might never crack the rotation or you take higher ceiling project players that could make big impacts in year two or three.
Just so happened whenever we picked we liked the project players better.
Now we couldn't predict injuries, players regressing, and Bailey not working out at all. If we could predict that we may have reached for a center (they wanted one but the grades never matched) or took a more ready CB.

Loomis blew this entire draft. Cooks is the only exception, but I don't believe he was worth jumping up in round 1 for.

Cool. I didn't know that. Where did you get the inside info that Loomis makes all decisions on who CSP and Rex get in the draft?

At the end of the day it's his decision

Is it?
So Loomis could move up in the draft and pick Winston cause in the end its his call?
Neat.
