Thank the stupid GM's

I'm surprised that so many GM's are plain stupid. We should be thankful that we got Star, but people made a lot of stupid picks.

Jets chose Richardson when Star and Jones were on the board. Chicago panicked and could have gotten Watson or the Kentucky guard, both them are a lot better than Long. Browns and Mingo - just LOL. A lot of potential, but what a disappointing college career. He's has a high bust ratio and Dion Jordan too. He hasn't done anything in college. He was third of his team in tackles for loss. I rather pick players on their tape/play than on unfulfilled potential. (Cam had both). Even the Giants panicked with their Pugh pick. He isn't a first round player and they had a lot of holes in their defense. Jerry Jones is going to be Jerry Jones.

Lets hope that the stupidity continues.

i wouldn't call it stupidity. it's not like this draft is filled with top tier stand out players. overall most of the talent is on a pretty equal level. it boils down to which player best fits what you're looking for. for example, richardson is a better fit than star for the jets because they flat outright lack a pash rush. star isn't a pass rusher. star is a space eating run stopping double team commanding anchor...exactly what the panthers need to free up their pass rushers.

As to Jordan + Mingo, did you see Bruce Irvin play in the NFL? that's what they're trying to reenact.

Irvin is a good player, but nothing special. He produced a lot better and more in college than Jordan and Mingo. Jordan ticks off all the boxes psychically, but he didn't really produce. Mingo was an big underachiever at LSU. Why would you gamble on a player who wasted his talent in college to be reliable playmaker in the NFL? Mike Lombardi is an idiot.

      Post Draft takes

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I loved this draft. I think we have 3 starters out our first three picks. Maybe they take a year to develop but I don’t see them taking long.    I think Etiene is going to be a good back up. He’s only 20 so he has a lot to improve on.  I think we will see him be used on special teams this year. He won’t get many reps unless an injury happens because we got two 1,000 yard rb in front of him. I could see Ransom starting but I think he will probably be a back up, maybe playing special teams? I think hes probably got the lowest ceiling of all our drafted players. Cam Jackson will be a back up, probably not a lot of snaps this year. Could end up being a solid player for us.   I love the Mitchell Evans pick. He’s got potential to be our top TE. He had two different injuries that set him back in college but I think if he was healthy he would have been one of the top TE in the draft. I have even more faith in him because ND makes great tight ends. I don’t know if he will play much this year unless an injury happens though. Probably just a blocking TE this year.

      Tet isn't Evens. He isn't as quick or uses his body as well, something Evans was known for in school. Tet catches well but he won't be the threat Evans is unfortunately IMO. It was like drafting Bryce and thinking your getting Wilson. Evans ran a 4.53 40, 7.08 3 cone, 4.26 shuttle and at the combine and not his proday. He was also 12 lbs heavier. If your expecting Evans your going to be disapointed unless you give Tet a bit of a discount on expectations IMO. Lol now it's saying they had Tet as a 4.48 at his proday when people were reporting 4.6+ at that time. It's going to be interesting to see what is real and what is BS. Proday numbers are so rounded in positive directions.
