Is Atlanta taking Keanu Neal last night as bad as the Saints taking Kenny Vaccaro a few years ago in almost the exact same spot?

That's where most people had Shaq last year and they called it a reach.

Gettleman openly gushed about Garnett in his pre-draft press conference.

Difference being, Dave Gettleman is a bauss.  Thomas Dimitroff is an idiot.

the difference is that they could have gotten someone else, and still gotten Neal in the 2nd. they missed on an opportunity to get 2 players they rated at 1st round talent. that's why Gettleburger rules the school.

Quinn is cuckolding Dimitroff like Fox cuckolded Hurney. The power dynamic should be GM > Head Coach. Dimitroff should be picking pass rushers, not secondary from Quinn's college coaching days. This tells me Quinn wants what he is comfortable with, and building his secondary is his priority.

That's fine with me. Keep ignoring the D-line and finish last in the league in sacks again. The saying in politics that, "If your opponent is committing career suicide, don't get in his way" applies here as well.

It was a reach but it doesn't mean Neal can't be a good player. I think Quinn is thinking Kam Chancellor, but who knows.

Worse.  At least Vaccaro was supposedly the best, or at least second best, Safety in that draft.  Neal isn't even in the top 3.

huge reach. this is why you don't let needs define your draft strategy. if he blows up they're further fuged
