The three players selected right after Ealy

I know you can do this for every draft, but Ealy was a WTF pick even at the time. I thought FOR SURE we were douple dipping on WR's (like previous year with DT's) and nabbing Arob. I was so hype when it was our pick because I seriously thought we wouldn't be there. Oh well, at least Getts is man enough to admit mistakes and get something out of it, unlike Hurney.

Just stop, this is stupid

Gettleman isn't perfect, so, yeah, he fuged up! But, I don't know of one GM that never misses. Indeed, Gettleman has done pretty well for himself picking up talent. He perhaps could stand to sharpen his maneuvering of draft picks, but I think it's laughable to suggest that he's done a bad job at drafting. At worst, he's above average. There are analysts saying that he's near the top.

It was the best WR class in NFL draft history I was certain we would double dip. But Ealy happened

You and me both. The Kony pick was out of left field. When Arob kept falling and falling, I was so sure he would be our pick.

His point is you can find players at any position in any draft that would have been better picks then who we drafted.

You can actually go back to and find many articles and mock drafts about us drafting Robinson and Landry. We worked out Robinson as much as any player.

This isn't hindsight 20/20 we had those two in our sights and after releasing every WR on our roster that offseason everyone thought we would draft two

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
