Drafted Players


Recommended Posts

During the draft last week I was noticing how they would show teams with 14 and 15 players on the roster that were drafted.

 

Not Counting the recent draft I counted 19 players that were drafted (and an amazing 10 UDFA) that are on our roster.

 

This shows that our GM is hitting more than he is missing on our picks and UDFA

So many UDFA made our team, is it really good news?

It's nice to see that there's a young core, but I would take things like this with a grain of salt until Gettleman has a few more years at the helm.

A good portion of that list was drafted or acquired in some way via Hurney, so IMO it just shows that this is a team still in transition and somewhat of a rebuild. Given the expectations for this season, the success has been impressive given the circumstances.

14 out of 29 belong to Gettleman that is nearly half.

 

Take that fact that this is through 2 season compared to 11 for Hurney.  

 

I would say Gettleman's team building skills are better than Hurney,

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
