2009 NFL Draft


Rags

Recommended Posts

Our worst draft ever?

Everette Brown - No longer on the team, currently on San Deigo Chargers

Sherrod Martin - Still on the team, Starting, is completely awful

Corvey Irvin- No longer on the team, currently on Jacksonville Jaguars

Mike Goodson- Still on the team, was benched then placed on IR, could be a starting caliber player but fumbles a lot

Tony Fiametta- No longer on the team, currently on the Dallas Cowboys

Duke Robinson- No longer on the team, currently a free agent.

Captain Munnerlyn- Currently on the team, was a starter before being placed on IR, pretty solid player, shouldn't be more than nickel

Not to mention trading our 2010 first round pick (the 17th overall pick) for two players currently doing nothing for the team/not on the team

has nothing to do with anything and I was doing research for a much more relevant thread I was going to make and noticed how bad we were this draft.

With that sad having as bad of a draft as we did that year and being as young as we are it's surprising we're a 6 win team.

Anyway discuss. Or don't. Whatever.

I know everybody on this hate Martin thing now but I still think he gets another chance with a better front 7 next year. So wait on your judgement of him.

Everyting else is pretty on the money.

our front 7 has nothing to due with constantly being out of position.

2010 wasn't all that great either

2011 outside of Cam looks pretty weak as well

last three drafts combined our only premier impact player has been using the #1 overall on Newton. thanks god we didn't wiff on that at least

Lafell and Gettis look solid from the 10 class. And Hardy could be anywhere from decent to good. Stafford has shined in moments when he gets a chance too.

it's way too early to say on the 11 class. Of course Cam has looked great, and hopes it stays that way, Pilares has had his moments, and McClain has looked okay at times (and a future probowler according to zod), Fua looks hella bad though.

Exactly. I made a detailed post about our recent drafts and they look pretty weak. Which is why I think it's silly when people say Hurney drafts well.

In the first round the man is solid. Has hit on all of them.

wish it could be said about rounds 2-7.

i dont know about worst, i would have to compare it to other drafts, but it did have some decent players. the HUGE mistake was trading a 1st rounder for Brown, that move was a risky and it wasnt worth it. Sherrod Martin is still here and while he's not great, i dont think he's the worst defensive player on this team. dont know what happened with Goodson, but i think he can play when healthy, Fiametta wasnt bad, but he wasnt really what Rivera wanted which is why he's gone and Munnerlyn in my book is a good 3rd cornerback, we need a good 2nd cornerback.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
