Drafted Players


Recommended Posts

During the draft last week I was noticing how they would show teams with 14 and 15 players on the roster that were drafted.

 

Not Counting the recent draft I counted 19 players that were drafted (and an amazing 10 UDFA) that are on our roster.

 

This shows that our GM is hitting more than he is missing on our picks and UDFA

 

Alexander, Frank  

Benjamin, Kelvin 
Benwikere, Bene .
Bersin, Brenton 
Boston, Tre 
Brown, Corey 
Chandler, Nate 
Davis, Thomas 
Ealy, Kony 
Foucault, David
Glanton, Adarius 
Horton, Wes 
Johnson, Charles 
Kalil, Ryan

Klein, A.J.
Kuechly, Luke 
Kugbila, Edmund 
Lester, Robert 
Lotulelei, Star 
Newton, Cam 
Norman, Josh 
Nortman, Brad
Norwell, Andrew
Reaves, Darrin 
Short, Kawann 
Silatolu, Amini
Stewart, Jonathan 
White, Melvin 
Williams, Brandon

So many UDFA made our team, is it really good news?

It's nice to see that there's a young core, but I would take things like this with a grain of salt until Gettleman has a few more years at the helm.

A good portion of that list was drafted or acquired in some way via Hurney, so IMO it just shows that this is a team still in transition and somewhat of a rebuild. Given the expectations for this season, the success has been impressive given the circumstances.

14 out of 29 belong to Gettleman that is nearly half.

 

Take that fact that this is through 2 season compared to 11 for Hurney.  

 

I would say Gettleman's team building skills are better than Hurney,

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
    • I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
