Everyone here knows how much PP loves us.

His grades are as follows:

C - why not Lee?

D - why DE?

C - why not OT?

C - no reason

C - no reason

I don't have a link as I used the CBS app for iPhone.

Love Ol Pete, no concept of value or acceptance that the GM's didn't agree 100% with his board or thoughts.

Josh Katsowitz seems to agree, lol.

If you can't see the value in the Ealy pick then you're just an idiot.

 

there were some decent tackles available at 60, so that's probably why we've been given such poo grades.

 

i'm not saying it was a bad pick, only time will tell and i haven't exactly followed ealy, but i wouldn't call anyone an idiot for disagreeing with the pick.

we're going to get Cs and Ds across the board for this draft so be ready for that

 

The reasons being we didn't address areas of need when players that could were still on the board. Like it or not, many guys had Lee above Benjamin on their boards, and some had tackles that were available ahead of Ealy. 

 

I hope to god these players work out for us, but at first glance, after looking at a bunch of mocks all offseason, our draft does not look as good on paper as others, especially considering we haven't addressed the OT position. I'm really trusting in Gettleman and believing in his talent evaluation and value of the players we have chosen, because what he has done so far is different than what many others expected.

not trying to change the subject, but this is the way to think about everything with DG. This is just his second offseason in complete control. No way I will start freaking out on everything that is done and said until I start to see major f*k ups year after year that screw up the team long term. 

 

Hurney has been gone 2 offseasons and we still have at least 2 more to go before we get outta his sh*t.

There really weren't any OTs that were even close to Ealy's value.  I wanted Turner, but he wasn't a first round talent like most thought Ealy was.  All the Moses hype was just empty media driven BS.  He was never worth a first or a second.  He was what people thought he was at the end of the college season, a third rounder.

I don't see how anyone can grade the 2014 draft now.  It will take 2-3 years before we know if the 2014 draft was a success.  In 2001, Seifart used a 3-round pick on an 'under-sized punt returner', and everyone questioned this.  Nobody, and I mean nobody ever could have predicted that Steve Smith would become the best WR and all-time Panther WR in the its history.  Sometimes you just have to wait and see how these draft picks will work out.  And in reverse, thought Jeff Otah would be the starting RT for many years, and we all know how that turned out.  These so-called talking head experts don't know everything.  Patience.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
