Gettleman said there haven't been a plethora of great RBs in

recent years. Said it is a deep RB group this year.

Getts doesn't fluff. He gives you the answers...if you just gettle-listen

[chknwing]

hes not taking a player in the first 2 rounds unless they will be on the field in the fall.

DG is a Gurley man.

Gettleman now talking about the "connors", a.k.a. "corners".

 

Says 11 of the 54 know how to backpedal.  Says college scouting now much more difficult.  You have to project.  These kids aren't NFL ready - they aren't asked to do these things in college - you have to figure out who you can teach the necessary skills.

of you make mistakes."

How can anyone hate this guy?  The man just knows football and how to work a front office.  I've got a total chub for this guy.

 

You G-man haters are just retarded.

After about 10 picks into the 2nd round, that's when boards get blown up.  That's where everyone's values are all over the board.

Agreed.  The guy is very confident, but seems likable at the same time.
