So Your Favorite Team is Picking Late in Rd 1....

[SetfreexX]

I swear some of you guys really make me scratch my head…we were a playoff team last year, we were selecting at 25 of 32 picks. In past drafts once you hit 15-20 nearly all of the top tier talent is gone. SIX offensive linemen were taken ahead of our pick, one directly prior at #24, the team staff cannot impact how the board falls.

If you saw, or read the presser transcript Gettleman says to move up (where they were considering) it would’ve cost a 2nd. I’d much rather take the BPA per OUR team, not an analyst who looks at a weak area on our team and just inserts . Basically every mock had us taking a tackle, but when all the 1st round tackles are gone, do you want us to take a 2nd round guy there at the bottom of the 1st? I don’t see anyone outside the top tackles making an immediate impact anyway for us.

Gettleman, and Rivera are already talking like Shaq is gonna be the starting WLB, after Blackburn, Klein, and the kid from last year I’d think we’d be excited to have ANOTHER sideline to sideline LB, who can cover, and tackle. Like the staff mentioned when teams go two TE’s we can stay in our base 4-3 and be in position to stop the run, or pass.

We have 8 PICKS LEFT, find your chill, Gettleman said in the pre-draft presser that the receiver group last year was special, and it this was more like 2013, the value is in rounds 2-5. If you guys don’t think we’re adding to the receiver stable you’re just looking for an excuse to b****. We have TWO MORE DAYS, and six rounds of drafting to go. There are still developmental tackles, and no. 2 caliber receivers still on the board.

People whined when we took a MLB at number nine when we still had Beason, scratched our heads, when Star, and Short were taken in back to back rounds 1st and 2nd, when we took Kelvin we said he couldn’t run routes, and had no hands, then we drafted Ealy a defensive end we didn’t need in the second when we still needed a tackle….I’m pretty sure this regime knows what they’re doing, all the analysts and huddle members balked and yet here we are looking like geniuses behind those QUESTIONALBLE non-need based picks.

So sit back, crack a beer and watch our team do work over the next 8 picks.

Your lack of paragraphs make me scratch my head more than some posters not liking a draft pick. I mean this only happens with every fanbase with every pick in every round in every draft that has ever occurred. Not sure why some fans are so confused by this year after year. And this is coming from someone who fully trusts Gettleman and doesn't mind the pick.
