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.  

Thank you. At least someone in here isn't looking for excuses to bitch

Good riddance. He was given a long leash by some here for being a UNC guy but he is not a NFL safety. Worst cover safety we have had since Nakamura.

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. 

This is his 3rd year and he had done nothing to have any confidence in.. You made the bad comparison to KB not me.. And please lets not act like udfa haven't played in their 1st season here..

I was talking about the 2014 draft as a whole not just ours. 2014 was a bad draft year for telent. Just look at the list a few good players and tons of JAGs

I swear, fans...

Y'all really think humble pie was served for a roster that recently went 15-1. It sounds like y'all are the ones who need the humble pie. This cut simply means Ron is ready to move on and Marlowe is heathly.

For a roster that went from 15-1 to 6-10 over night? Yes.

Aren't you a Shula Hater anyway? Cant brag about 15-1 for Gettleman and dismiss it for Shula.

Watch every press conference this offseason. Gettleman has admitted his mistakes himself out loud and admitted several times. He never talked like that before this offseason.

If Gettleman truly sits on what we have now, then we'll know safety means nothing to him. But I think we'll bring someone in. And anyone is better than Boston

if anyone is better than Boston we are a year too late in making a move...at least

Had some flashes but he disappointed more than he impressed. There was no reason why he should've started last year

Wtf, he was great depth at the very least, another head scratcher

We went 6-10 because we were injury plagued and our team became mentally weak after losing to Denver. 

No, I can, because Shula had nothing to do with it. If Shula were responsible for 15-1, he'd be a HC by now like Shanahan and we would have won the Superbowl by making those simple little adjustments.

Ok man. Good have a good day!

My brother saw Boston in Dicks at Northlake yesterday. When he asked him how workouts were going Boston said he hadn't gone because they weren't mandatory and now this.
