While we continue to suck, and make no moves. Packers suck, and trade for Knile Davis.

I don't see it as panicked because the draft wasn't only about this one season.

Per his own statements, Gettleman was tired of patchworking the secondary and wanted to try and  build a unit for the future.

They expected early struggles, but mistakenly thought the pass rush would be good enough to mitigate that while they were learning. So far, it hasn't, but the rookies are legitimately improving when they're healthy.

The notion that this draft is somehow awful because the rookies aren't pro ready from week one is both silly and short-sighted.

We escaped last year with weak DE play because of a good units everywhere else...that included having a vet secondary featuring an All Pro DB. 

So I simply never have bought into this defense of Gettlemen's draft. 

pretty sure no one argues rookies aren't expected to be pro ready...that is just a  Gettlemen defense.  Going into this season, I expected our secondary to be awful and our DE to stick out as not good enough (that is a reciprocal relationship). Most people believed that....and I disagree with heading into a season with that off a Super Bowl year.

Yeah, I don't get how anyone genuinely thought, much less Gettleman, that the pressure of the line was somehow going to make a couple of rookies---possibly even three---good enough to sustain success in a division with Jones, Evans, and all of Brees' men. When you look back on it, it was asking for trouble, especially when there were valid questions as to whether our ends would even create the desired pressure even if we had some quality vets in the secondary. It was a gamble to say the least. 

I just don't like the results (then and now) of the past draft because I believe we  reached and paid a premium on players we could have gotten at a spot more in line with their perceived value. By doing it Dave's way, we lost out on a player or two that really could have helped us this season.

This is from the same guy that trades his best fantasy player because he had a bad week.

I hate trading fantasy players.  Unless it's a can't miss trade, I never trade fantasy players.  Too many injuries happen over the course of a season to trade away great players.

Yeah, Morgan Moses is actually really solid.  

i don't care about that because he was fuging useless 2 years ago and everybody was clamoring about how he would've helped us then when he really couldn't, because if only Gettleman does this or that. The same debate is going on now with Knile Davis except Davis doesn't even have an upside.
