NFL AM worst NFC draft


Moose Hoover

Recommended Posts

I remember the last couple of years when the "experts" raved about Hurney's drafts because we filled out our needs from round 1 to 7. All that left us was a handful of starting rookies and busts.

The draft is not the end all be all of the offseason. There's multiple ways to fill holes. Drafting is good for BPA and depth. You fill immediate holes through FA. So far, I think we have dropped the ball on that in regards to the RG spot. Drafting Kugbila was fine but I'm worried he might be too raw to start week 1. Of course, there's still time, but I would like to see at least more one vet guard signed before we head into training camp.

One QB drafted in middle of round 1, 3 wideouts drafted in round 1, none top 5 or sure things, and 0 rbs in round 1. This should tell people about the quality of offensive weapons in this draft. We drafted players from positions of strength. Not the strongest players in positions of weakness. We couldnt make the team better going offense this year. So we made the team better through defensive line and depth moves. No shame in taking what ur given.

THIS! Think of how many drafts we've gotten so excited over thinking we had solved all of the teams issues and addressed our needs only to have it all look like garbage 3 years later. I remember how excited I was the year we took stu and otah. Everette brown. Jimmy Clausen. The constant let downs at receiver by guys like Keary Colbert and Dwayne Jarret.

Seriously what makes anyone think taking a 5th or 6th round receiver is going to come in and win a job given our past history taking receivers.

The media dont like I draft because it is unsexy, we drafted a half ton of meat to go to war in the trenches and then we added developmental players like AJ and KenJon that will be back ups and maybe even future replacements were we are already strong at.

Next year it will be easier to go after the sexy picks when we have less and less holes to fill.
