Dave Gettleman is quietly putting together a better draft than last year.

Sorry Gettleman doubters, this year's draft has been pretty genius. 

 

The NFL gives him 9 draft picks, but thanks to last year he really doesn't need that many. Solution? Turn the 9 picks into 5 picks and target your guys. Address areas of need (WR, Tackle) but also draft a guy that will change the entire defense for you in Shaq. And he STILL has 2 fifth rounders to select. 

 

It is like watching Michelangelo in very high coaching shorts paint the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

Our good late round and UDFA picks last year really helped us out, giving us the ability to do that.  I'm really beginning to like the depth everywhere on our team sans offensive line and safety.

I'm thankful that someone else sees the brilliance in this draft. Gettleman has earned the right to take risks like this.

    • But that would run counter to a lot of basic logic.  Frank Reich largely had an ideal QB he had worked with…and Reich world people were beating that drum loudly during the draft process that CJ Stroud fit what Frank would want/need.  And reporting also was signaling there was a split in house and Tepper wanted Young. We ended up with Young.  
    • There's more to coaching than play calling, even down on the field. Madden isn't going to simulate how your WR1 had a big fight with his wife the night before the game and is stiff from sleeping on the couch. It's not going to simulate that the fight was because the QB's wife was flirting with the WR and now, because she went full on ballistic that the QB now knows about it. It's not going to simulate that questionable bucket of wings your o-line shared three hours before the game is now causing cramps and gas. It's also not going to simulate the real wear and tear of the season and how about December even the moderately good teams are about halfway spending their brain power on picking their January vacation destinations. But for a video game, it's pretty good.  
    • Last Madden I played was 17, got this for like 10-12 bucks a few months ago and its a great improvement imo. I havent had to touch the sliders much.
