What if I told you our draft went like this....

Bradberry was going in 3-4 round, a lot of teams and scouts had him in the top10 corners in the draft with a higher grade then media sites gave him. 

 

Worley was a slight reach, but if they had him graded similarly to Bradberry then so what. He was expected to go in the late 4th early 5th. 

 

Both are fantastic fits and extremely athletic and talanted, just need technique refinement.

In 4 drafts Gettleman has rebuilt the interior of the defensive line to one of the best in the NFL, rebuilt the receiving corp with 2 good young receivers in KB and Funchess, drafted a DE in Ealy who could break out into a Pro Bowl year if he plays like he did down the stretch last year, drafted/signed 2 stud guards in Turner and Norwell, and has now hopefully rebuilt a secondary for the long haul instead of piecemealing one every year. What more can you hope for? Other than having a better option if Oher goes down (but Darryl Williams could potentially play either Tackle spot), there's not much more you can ask for IMO.

Furthermore, Gettleman has turned the worst cap situation in the league into one of the best. We have won 3 division titles in a row and went 15-1 and to the SB.

Other teams are competing too. And while none of this happens without Rivera and Newton, Gettleman deserves a lot of credit too.

mods sticky this and post it everytime someone bitches about G-man

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
