"Trent Williams w/best Pass Blocking Efficiency score for LT's.  7 pressures allowed on 263  pass blocks.  2nd = Cordy Glenn, 3rd = Joe Thomas"

 

 

That one kinda stung a little when reading it.  Should have been the pick.

where was he selected?

[Mr. Scot]

where was he selected?

After Silatolu.

[PhillyB]

well dammit

[DaCityKats]

the pick directly after Amini

[thefuzz]

where was he selected?

 

 

The very next pick after Amini....again, I screamed.

I'm wondering just how much input Rivera has on these picks.

 

Hurney picks a division 2 guard early, then the next year Gettleman picks a division 2 guard early. Hmm.

same scouts too

[PantherFeez]

Thanks Obama!

[TheRed]

That is true, and I really still don't know what to think of that. What GM wouldn't want his own scouting staff? Especially a guy as seasoned and with a long history in the NFL such as Gettleman? I know people want to believe he is making all the decisions, I just don't buy it.

That was part of the evidence I cited in my "Trouble with Rudys" post.

I believe Rivera lobbied for those guys based on his soft spot for less talented guys who 'try harder'.

He can't be else Rivera would have been out too...

 

JR has his hand in this stuff.

 

We really, really need new scouts.  It's pretty obvious.
