re: Was our draft a success last year?

Since you won't breakdown the draft player by player, and you seem to completely dismiss the talent we did draft, here you go:

Peat 1st- starting olineman. solid player. should develop well.

Anthony 1st- Possbily the best rookie LB in the league

Kikaha 2nd- great player. lots of upside. Looks to be a solid compliment to Anthony and Jordan upfront. He finished with 4 sacks and 4 forced fumbles

THEN:
PJ Williams 3rd - we'll see. but i dont hate the pick. Very impressive collegiate career culminating in a INT in being named the Defensive MVP of the National Championship Game.

G Grayson 3rd - our HC is an offensive coordinator and a QB coach. If he wants this guy, i'm not going to argue.

Tull 5th - injued, who knows, but he is a 5th round player, so we'll see

Tyeler Davison 5th - depth and a backup. Thats what you do with a 5th round pick. He did get some playing time and get 2 sacks.

Swann 5th - injury problems, but solid depth player

Murphy 7th- started on special teams. needs to get his hands checked. who cares. 7th rounder.

------------------------

I mean. what do you want? You cant see that's a solid draft and our best in years? Our first three picks are solid starters. The later rounds we used for depth and took some chances.

Explain what you would have rather done.

Explain why 3 or 4 starters, 2 guys we havent seen yet, and 2 solid backups is a shitty draft.

Can you give me an example of a team that drafts 2 or 3 sure fire impact players to play for decades every draft? ANd you know of their absolute dominance after watching their rookie season? Or a future HoFer in every draft?

This was our best draft in a long time, Jeff Ireland is a proven scout, and he'll just get better with more time and resources with the organization.

We have 3 or 4 starters out of this draft.

Kikaha, Anthony and Peat look very promising.

We added some much needed depth.

What did you want?

If it was possible to draft Randy Moss, Brian Urlacher, Ed Reed, Champ Bailey, and Gene Upshaw in every single draft the NFL would be a very different product.

Well said Breesus. Couldn't have said it better myself. PJ Williams and Damian Swann will be great corners if they come back healthy, and Davidson is a very high motor guy who will give us depth. Kikaha, Anthony, and Peat will be great for us too. That's all you could really ask for. It's not like every single player in every single draft is going to make the pro bowl for us. This OP is out of his mind.

Original poster is a complete a total fricking retard.

I am the only person in this thread to mention him so far. WHich is unbelievably depressing.

While reading through this thread I kept thinking why everyone wasn't talking about Anthony. Thought I was going crazy.

Wow, I totally brain farted on Anthony.

Are you kidding? It was our best draft since 06 easily. Almost every pick played extensively outside of a backup QB and two guys with a lot of promise that went to IR. Not to mention what, another 2-4 UDFAs that played?

---

Yep. We got 3 guys on the Dline that played some...Bobby Richardson, Kaleb Eulls, and Tavaris Barnes. We also signed Willie Snead, Delvin Breaux & Max Unger(trade), Hooman(trade), & Tim Hightower. Combine those guys with the draft class and that's a pretty elite offseason. 5 or 6 starters and tons of depth.

Exact opposite on FA signings though. Pretty underwhelming to say the least.

Who did I ignore? Do I have to name Tull and that QB that we got... Do I even need to learn the QB's name?

Are these the center pieces I left out?

Lets see his # is 50 and he had a pretty good Rookie season, matter of fact he made the all Rookie team..

STEPHONE ANTHONY does it ring a bell...

Your condescension is like a soothing salve for my arse. Been riding horses all day.
