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.

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

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
