Trade for Morgan Moses?

james hurst got shredded against the colts too

 

3 sacks, 1 hit and 3 hurries. Worse than Bell.

Again, in regard to the future, having a good player buried on the depth chart isn't necessarily a bad thing. In hindsight, if Gaffney hadn't gotten injured, he might be starting right now.

I wouldn't have minded on taking a flyer on a late round OT, though. I agree with you there, if for no other reason, to let Bell and Chandler know that they could be replaced any day.

your bottom statement is pretty much what i was getting at everything else I agree with to this point

There are some rookie OL playing well. 

 

Juwan James, Justin Britt, Joel Bitonio, Jake Mewhort, Zack Martin, Trai Turner etc

 

Just a matter of having that eye for talent, skill, and potential.

I'm not making excuses for the front office, I would have loved to seen a tackle took somewhere in the draft.  I'm just trying to point out some of the issues with drafting a tackle, especially for a team that has a lot of holes to fill.  Just because we draft one that doesn't mean the line will improve.

 

I know alot of people around here (especially now with hindsight) wish we would have took Hurst instead of Gaffney but I don't think that was as clear cut as some would have you to believe.  The fact is once you get into the later rounds the chance of landing a starter are actually really low.  People around here love to name the few that do make it but they often leave out the majority that don't.

 

 

 

There are starters drafted in every round and even starters in UDFA. 

 

Yes it aint easy to always find them, but that is what the scouting offices and GM's are getting paid to do. 

 

Hurst over Gaffney was a no brainer assuming Hurst checks out medically.

I wanted us to draft Hurst also but to call 11% a no brainer is a bit of a reach.

Weeks ago rumors were that the Skins were trying to get something for him, and if not, releasing him. May have just been rumors, but wouldn't doubt it. His name was actually THE most prominent name in mock drafts for our FIRST round pick. OMG. Moron Marc James formerly of WFNZ lambasted GMan all over Carolina airwaves after the draft for not taking this guy. Scary.

 

That's why the media geeks,as well us fans need to leave the draft process to the GM,scouts and coaches.

Moses predraft analysis was really pretty bad and so far it has turned out to be correct. Look it up.

It is only 11% drafting blind. If you are a superior talent evaluator than chances are higher than that. 

 

At the end of the day, the bottom line is there are starters to be had in every round. No one cares about excuses. 

 

My comment for the FO would be to step their scouting and evaluating game up and find those diamonds in the rough.

So the league must be blind.

but who was accounting for differing scouting abilities? 

 

but on a serious not, yes the league as a whole is no great at finding gems late.
