I will say that Little is a far worse pick than Butler. The draft capital we paid for Little was a little more than the pick we used on Butler. Also, the 2019 draft was chock full of OL and a much better draft than 2016. Butler didn’t live up to his pick but the dude actually played and contributed. His last season with us was actually a good one. 6 sacks for a Non starting DT is really good. 

That’s a fair point but on the flip side I think we need to give the same time to little also then and let him play out his rookie contract. Not all players come in ready to play. 

likely? Probably not but you never know if little can find a way to be serviceable

The 2016 draft was horrible. If not for Bradberry (who we didn't even resign so that makes it even worse) it would have probably been the worst draft in team history . 

I was immediately incensed when we picked Vernon Butler and then proceeded to draft 3 CBs in a row . 

To his credit Gettleman had a much MUCH better final Panthers draft in 2017. Mccaffrey Moton Samuel all hits . Although Samuel didn't end up being a game breaking WR he had some decent contributions especially near the end of his tenure here. 

...this is when i knew gettlebag didn't know his azz from a hole in the ground.

I'm just grateful Gettleman is gone. When you're missing at the top of the draft it's just brutal, and he was bad in later rounds as well. And his free agent signings should have landed him in jail. In 2016 Gettleman's draft was horrific:

Round 1: Pick No. 30 – DT Vernon Butler - OMGGGGGGGGG

Round 3: Pick No. 77 – CB Daryl Worley - Couldn't guard anyone and drew PI penalties left and right.

Round 5: Pick No. 141 – CB Zack Sanchez - Cut quickly and looked high school quality.

Round 7: Pick No. 252 – TE Beau Sandland - Who????

Hurney:

Round 5, Pick 143: Josh Norman, CB

Gettleman:

Round 5, Pick No. 141 – CB Zack Sanchez

 

But yes they were both bad.

A single pick comparison doesn't really establish much as far as drafting talent. Hurney whiffed far more in the 2nd and 3rd where it really matters than Gettleman. It will be interesting now to see how not having JR influence will affect our new GM.

Yes I said they were both bad. I just made that comparison because it popped into my head. No point behind it.

Little and Grier were both terrible. Gaulden was terrible. And then going back Armanti and Pickles were both inexcusable. It wasn’t just a whiff when Hurn-dog missed it was a catastrophe.  I really never felt that way about DG’s picks. I guess at least with his misses, I could understand the logic. The one I didn’t care for was Funchess but I still understood their thinking.

Really? I don’t think I could disagree more. The obvious issue was the Kalil signing but I really think JR had a hand in that.

Norwell, Ginn, Mitchell, Oher, Coleman and Tillman were all excellent signings.

There were quite a few decent ones like Love, Allen, Harper, cotchery, and Florence and Finnegan as well. 

I guess Boykin and Shepard kind of sucked but I don’t think their contracts really hurt us.

DG’s strength, mAybe the only strength, was pro scouting. He has a career built on it.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
