Shaq Thompson - Number 1 Gettleman Bust?

[Jeremy Igo]

A guy who is a multi year starter and very productive as a late first rounder is a bust?

 

That's a weird definition.

 

A bust wouldn't be in the team still.

I guess he meant subpar. 

I was high on his coverage skills but it hasn’t been working out in clutch situations. Need to draft ball hawk safety similar to Malik Hooker.

For a guy that cares nstantlt talked about you can’t “reach”. Everyone of his first rounders were a reach except star. I love CMC but even he could have been had later

Wouldn't Benjamin a reach. Shaq, Vern, CMC were definitely reaches.

I wouldn't say a bust but when you draft a first rounder you are expecting him to be a starter.   Shaq and Butler don't and haven't started much since they have been here.  

I get the hogmollie thing but if you know they are going to be behind Star and KK than he should have drafted a player that could be a starter.  

By the time TD retires Shaq will be at the end of his time here.   I think TD has one more year left in him.

I guess a first rounder that isn't a pro bowler is a bust. 

 

Yall are spoiled.

Didn’t Gettleman draft Amini?

Nope, that would be the Hurn dog.

Hurney had 8 of his 11 first round picks reach the Pro Bowl at least once.

Nice to have plenty of top 15 picks.

We needed a safety and Gettleman chose Thompson over Collins

Gettleman had zero and had 2 of the 5 below 15 and 2015 draft was because we made the playoff and bumped us to 25.

The only people who justified that pick are Gettleman nut huggers 

 

I remember a bunch of draft analyst gave us an “F” for that pick and rightfully so. 

Remember when the huddle gave the Falcons an “F” for apparently reaching for Keanu Neal...

These guys don’t have a clue as to what they’re watching.

At the end of the day we needed a safety and Landon Collins would’ve been the correct pick. I was happy with the Shaq pick because I was under the impression he would play safety because well... it made sense

People don't understand it makes a difference where in the first round the pick comes from. Comparing a #1 pick to like a #28 as equals.
