Dave Gettleman is quietly putting together a better draft than last year.

I would be shocked he was rated at one point the 7th overall RB in this class

Grading a draft when none of them have played a single down...

[x djdrew x]

Gettleman said yesterday in the press conference for Funchess that "9 draft picks making the team would have been dicey" 

 

I'm not normally a blatant kool-aid sipper, but my goodness, with his draft history here, hard to see this draft unfolding any differently.

Playing the comp pick game is something I hope this team becomes accustomed to. Hardy very well may have fuged it up for next year...but getting a couple of decent comp picks a year gives SO MUCH versatility 

[Sloth]

Shaq is a good player but I wasn't huge on that pick. I've had a raging boner since round 2 though. I love our draft overall.

[Peppers90 NC]

So are the Jags. Thankfully we play them early

[UpstatePanther]

You can't coach 6'5!

Am I right?

Mike Davis.

 

DAMN SKIPPY!!! to both! haha

 

Yeah all of our picks are massive except Shaq, he's actually pretty small for a LB.

 

good thing he's gonna be our joker/bandit db.

[TheRed]

I believe its been a awful draft.

 

[juliosantos]

Loving this draft

[L-TownCat]

I concur.

This will be Gettllemans hallmark draft.

Why?

Because these are unquestionably Daves guys. He has placed his bets on his own skills and drafted whom he graded out.

I'm all for the confidence he has shown.

Maybe it will trickle down to the coaching staff and then to the players.

We won't really know for a couple of years, but could be

Way too early to say that imo.

That's exactly what people said last year. They said KB was a reach, that Ealy was a stupid pick, and were whining that we didn't get a OT when we picked Turner. We shall see though.

I drove the KB bus, even called him the best outside WR. Id say around 60% of the huddlers didn't like KB at all. I didn't agree with early pick, but totally believed it was the best value pick in 2nd.

None of those thoughts are shared with this years draft. We'll see, again I'm giving this group til they have a full season and full nfl off-season.

I'll support them, regardless.
