The value wasn't there at #8. It's really not hard to understand. There are guys that will be drafted tomorrow that are comparable to the edge guys getting drafted right now. There aren't WR's that can compare to T-Mac that will be available tomorrow.
Once Graham went off the board there wasn't a defensive player worth that pick. I respect Dan for choosing BPA and not reaching for a defensive player just for the sake of it.
Great pick. Thielen won't be here next year and our WR will be set for the next few years. This draft is deep on defense and the drop-off is significantly less on that side of the ball well into the middle rounds.
Of course he's involved to an extent. He OWNS the team. Most owners are in the draft room. As long as he's not overruling the scouts and Morgan that's not an issue.
The guy showed zero emotion or imagination. I'm of the belief he didn't really care and wanted the easy paycheck before retirement. Matt Rhule wasn't a good coach but I never felt it was from a lack of effort. Maybe the third time was the charm for Tepper.
As recent history should show you, there are no guarantees in the draft. Give me actual tangible victories any day. Jerking off to draft position doesn't do it for me.
