Kug to have back surgery Aug 8th, done for year

We had 5 picks in 2013, and no 3rd rounder. That whiff hurt us a lot more than in most drafts.

 

And remind me how we did in that one playoff game? And remind me who we have starting at LT? And remind me who we have starting at RT for that matter?

 

Naw, he's doing a bang-up job.

 

12-4 and a first round bye after not having a winning season in five years is pretty 'bang up' to me.

 

Still too early to judge how good he'll be long term, but early returns are pretty good.

If valid, it's kind of a Chicken-Egg argument.

 

Maybe the reason guys are going to smaller schools is because bigger ones didn't trust their durability.

 

maybe thier frame filled out later too. . genetically I would think the guy that already shows girth in the 11th grade is superior to one that doesnt show it until sophomore year in college. Not sure bout that though

it's also valid to say the reason he went to a smaller school was because he's from Africa and couldn't adjust quick enough for the SAT's.

 

which was the valid point. for god's sake nick saban gave the stamp of approval on this guy.

What a fail pick. Hopefully Gettleman learned his lesson.

The majority of picks in the draft are fails.

I would say he went 3/5 that draft. Any team in the league would happily take a 60 percent success rate in the draft.

Hopefully he not only learned his lesson but can also repeat it in the future.

Of course you can say that most draft picks don't pan out. That's like saying most start-up businesses fail. But the point isn't that he missed, it's that Getts made a pick that was almost certainly not going to pan out when we had (and still have, may I remind you all) glaring holes on the offensive line. You have to give yourself a chance, at least!

We did. We didn't want to give up our 4th 

 

We traded our third rounder the year before for the Frank Alexander/Joe Adams picks.

 

Unless you are arguing we should have traded up to draft him, we were in no position to draft Allen.

 

That is over and done with anyway. Time to move on.
