2016 draft now one of our worst drafts ever


TN05

Recommended Posts

1st - Vernon Butler (Jury is out, but has done very little)
2nd - James Bradberry (Regressed last year)
3rd - Worley (Wasn't good and now is gone)
5th - Zack Sanchez (Practice squad player, doesn't look like he's doing much)
7th - Beau Sandland (Never played a snap)

Very possible Bradberry and Vern turn out to be great players even as soon as this year. Too early to say about this draft class and Worley had and still has potential too. Hurney trading him away doesn’t change that. Wait until we have a large enough sample size before making dumb claims.

OP was just dying to post this poo

Do you have anything to indicate otherwise? I want to like Bradberry but he played like poo last year. Worley was even worse, and Sanchez and Sandland did nothing. We still have no clue if Butler is any good.


This draft isn't looking good.

This guy was just waiting to bash Gettleman and praise Hurney. Not worse than hurneys infamous 2011 draft. Let's also remember it's kind of hard to screw up the number 1 overall pick. Hurney was also drafting at the beginning of rounds opposed to end like Gettleman.

1. Cam

3. Terrell McClain

3. Sione Fua

4. Brandon Hogan

5. Kealhoa Pilares

6. Lawrence Wilson

6. Zachary Williams

7. Lee Ziemba

the clown didn't even draft his franchise QB one weapon. But wait it gets worse. How about 2009?

2. Everette Brown-traded a future 1st

2. Sherrod Martin

3. Corvey Irvin

4. Mike Goodson

4. Tony Fiammetta

5. Duke Robinson

7. Captain Munnerlyn

keep pushing your agenda man, but just know you're wrong.

The fact Hurney had bad drafts obviously means you can never criticize Gettleman for bad drafts? Interesting "logic".

You really shouldnt judge draft classes this early. Wait about 5 years (for all the players to get through their rookie contracts) and THEN evaluate it. 

Using that criteria, its 2018 so the last class we can evaluate well is 2013. 

2013 draft:

  • Star : HIT
  • Short : HIT
  • Kugbila: Miss
  • AJ Klein : HIT
  • Kenjon Barner: Miss 

3/5 good players , although likely only 1 left on our roster in 2018 in Short. Klein is still balling on the Saints, and  Star is going to get massively paid by someone.

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
