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

Gettleman said yesterday in the press conference for Funchess that "9 draft picks making the team would have been dicey" 

 

I'm not normally a blatant kool-aid sipper, but my goodness, with his draft history here, hard to see this draft unfolding any differently.

I concur.

This will be Gettllemans hallmark draft.

Why?

Because these are unquestionably Daves guys. He has placed his bets on his own skills and drafted whom he graded out.

I'm all for the confidence he has shown.

Maybe it will trickle down to the coaching staff and then to the players.

That's exactly what people said last year. They said KB was a reach, that Ealy was a stupid pick, and were whining that we didn't get a OT when we picked Turner. We shall see though.

I drove the KB bus, even called him the best outside WR. Id say around 60% of the huddlers didn't like KB at all. I didn't agree with early pick, but totally believed it was the best value pick in 2nd.

None of those thoughts are shared with this years draft. We'll see, again I'm giving this group til they have a full season and full nfl off-season.

I'll support them, regardless.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
