Dude has been here 3 years now and hasn't played a down... Not even special teams..

But great comparison??

2,000 yards and 17 td's compare to 0 snaps played..

Hahahaha

2 years. Rookie year he was a UDFA that made the roster, last year he got hurt. This will be his third year. 

I'm just saying, you're misinformed on how oft-injured you think the guy is. 

Also, you are presenting a strawman argument based on playing time. I was comparing time injured based on years in the league.

Don't think they tried during the draft?

Man 2014 wasn't a great draft period. Looking at the list there are a few gems but overall it was a terrible class. 

I think sometimes we are too hard on a draft when you look at the remaining players from a particular draft on a team after a few years.  That being said, you couldn't call 2014 an overwhelmingly success.

But, I wouldn't call it a failure either.  I think if you were to judge a draft in its entirety 3 years later, getting 2 starters from the draft that are still on your team is mandatory to it not being a failure.  DG did that with KB and Trai Turner, who has been a Pro-Bowler.  So, with that alone, I don't think you can call it a failure.  Don't believe me- look at the rest of the league and the 2014 class.

Still, Ealy was a bust.  No getting around that.  There are no other players from that draft that are now still with the team.  Most of the time you aren't going to find a long-term starter after the 3rd round; however, you should have depth pieces.

However, the one massive wildcard from 2014 was Andrew Norwell.  Even though he was undrafted, he has become a long-term starter and comparable to a 2nd Round pick in terms of quality.  It's not a complete picture to slam DG for the later rounds & Ealy w/o taking Norwell into the equation.

So, IMO, forgetting draft rounds at this point, you ended up with (1) 1st round worthy pick in Trai Turner, and (2) 2nd round worthy picks in KB and Norwell.

When you take everything into account, I would give the draft a B, maybe B- at the worst.  Not great given the fact there are only 3 players on your team 3 years later, but those 3 picks are all starters with above-average potential.

I don't know but reports came out during free agency period that teams were calling for Boston

can you hear me now?

I'm sure we kept a hold of him through the draft to try and trade him. When that didn't work we cut bait. Must have some safeties in mind or this doesn't make sense.

Also I prefer us cutting guys early than too late. Yeah it sucks when draft picks don't work out but sometimes they don't develop or you find better guys through FA
