Are we the worse at picking second round picks or cursed?

Seriously.. after the Brooks News just broke i had to think.. when is the last time we hit in the second round?  Off the top of my head the number of second round busts from Clausen to mingo to Marshall to whoever else you want to name is sickening....

what's crazy is most teams find starters in the second round or atleast contributors.. we have 3 that should be on their rookie contract either not on the team or out of the league.

Let's think about what the second round often is. Guys you may have had a first round grade on fall. Other teams see issues you don't and pass. He reaches you. You get giddy and jump on him. Those issues others saw are real and now you're left holding a lemon.

The deeper in the draft we go, the more it's like "ok this guy here makes sense". The first round and 5-7 are often pretty easy. 2 and 3 are where your gambles happen. We suck at gambling.

Ryan Khalil would agree. He's the last 2nd round pick I can remember worth a damn.

Donte Jackson-Curtis Samuel-James Bradberry was a decent stretch.  Compared to our usual, anyway.  Too bad Samuel was always hurt and Jackson was inconsistent as hell.

Still though thats 2013...lol. Hopefully Brooks has a great career and this was a small hiccup before it started. Also makes extending Chuba a little easier to swallow. But damn it never seems to fail with this team. We just cant seem to get it together

I blame Sir Purr. He's cursed. Should change the name to the Carolina Reapers.
