OTA's....Godfrey limited....Kug not so much

[Ricky Spanish]

When I see Kug not even being able to get on the field it kind of scares me moving forward. If Benjamin and Ealy are the only permanent starters 3 years down the road then we need to do well in free agency.

 

You should realistically only get 2-3 starters every draft, that's the first three rounds and then if you are lucky, one of the other 4 (minus extra picks but you get what I'm saying) will develop. Anything after round 4 is a crapshoot, it really is. it's where the guys with potential lurk but they aren't guaranteed starters due to off the field issues, measurable deficiencies (height, weight, etc.) inexperience, and overall flaws in their game. There is no formula, but I think you think that there is. The later rounds, 9 times out of 10 are for back ups and special teamers. Very rarely do you wind up with a superstar from the late rounds. It's not as common as you would expect.

 

Wikipedia has breakdowns of every draft for each team and it's actually pretty cool to look at to see where and when some guys went:

You can see that while they have hit on some late round guys, they have missed quite a bit on some early rounders as well, which is more detrimental to your team than missing on a late rounder. They aren't perfect. So yes, we haven't found a superstar in the late rounds (other than Hardy), but we have nailed the first pick quite a few times. 

 

What has hurt us over the years is not getting the 2-3 starters every year due to our second round drafting. We have failed there quite a bit, and there is no reason to fail as consistently as we have in the past. Hopefully, KK and Ealy will right that ship and we will be able to say our new GM is one of the best.

I'm guessing you have a lot clue. You're like the clueman.

 

You know, in my four years of being a member of this website I've never actually put someone on "ignore"....

 

 

 

until you. Some of these trolls here are somewhat entertaining to laugh at and make fun of, but what you say makes no god damn sense. I feel like my IQ drops whenever I read your posts.

I know it probably isn't too politically correct to say. But, damm that hits it pretty well.

Long, stressful days at my new job tend to bring out the bluntness in me.

this one time when I was a kid, I was playing on this retaining wall with my friend and I leaned over too far and ended up flipping over the edge (because I was a kid and stupid) and I did a full front flip and landed on my feet. That was not a failure and I couldn't do it again if I tried. Twas dumb luck. 

 

 

yeah, umm.....

 

 

I just pied this because jayflip did and I thought that was funny in a lucky kind of way....

 

 

and if you are going to slam a scouting department be real and pick an uninjured player.  We and every other NFL team have those.  Mostly to keep posters like Hapless happy.
