There are very few ways that we could've gone that I would've hated more than the draft that we had. Two LBers? Really?

 

Plus we finally had a draft with a lot of picks, finally after all of these years. So the logical thing to do is trade them all away, right?

 

Only pick I like is the Oklahoma dude. Sorry, just really don't like this draft. Hope I'm proved wrong.

I think this is a draft where Gettleman really needs that 4th and 2nd pick to work out. We used 6 draft picks on 2 players, those players need to work out. He said the comp picks gave him the flexibility to do that but then we used those picks on running back and linebacker. We only got 5 guys in this draft and Gettleman needs three of them to be quality starters in the long run.

 

I'm not doubting Gettleman, I'm just saying he made bold moves and that raises the stakes.

Today/Overall: B-/B

 

Definitely a different approach than the last few years for Gettleman.

 

Felt a bit like a Marty Hurney draft.  Using our picks to move up several positions. 

 

To Gettleman's credit the picks given up were later ones from this year as opposed to early picks from the future.

 

Due to the limited talent available, it seems to make perfect sense. 

 

Plus, with the success of the last few drafts, the team now has less holes to fill and more depth than they've had in several years, if ever.  The later picks likely stood little chance of making the team under those circumstances.

 

Still, Gettleman seemed to go against conventional wisdom with some of his picks and may have reached for a few of these players.

 

Time will tell, but his strategy based on the limited talent seems sound.

 

Today: B-

 

Overall: B

If Mayo is a ST ace then we all should be extremely excited. Getts knows mort than all of ua combined. How can all the wannabe GMs here seriously say Mayo was a bad pick? We will find out about it in a few months. I like ouc draft class a lot and it could be that we get three day one starters out of it. Awesome.

The kid from William&Mary

He's definitely more talented than any of those 3

 

You mean the guy that still hasn't been drafted by anybody with only fourteen picks left to go in the 7th?

 

Oh, yeah.  Instant starter there.

Brown wasn't drafted, Ginn was a 4th string receiver and no one wanted Cotchery

Everyone had McBride as a 4th or 5th round pick, but he's one of these diva receivers

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
