With Worley done, the 2016 draft looks like one of our worst ever


TN05

Recommended Posts

1. Vernon Butler
2. James Bradberry
3. Daryl Worley
4. Zack Sanchez
5. Beau Sandland

The only two left on the roster are Bradberry and Butler. Butler has done next to nothing, and Bradberry is... fine. Worley was never that good, Sanchez is on the practice squad, and Sandland never played a down for us.

This is just after two years and it's this bad. Butler might be gone in a year or two, and Bradberry isn't even a given for being a long-term starter either.

Is it really too early to say, or are we just loathe to admit it was that bad?

2 years in is too early to say especially when the players have showed flashes. Most corners don't get fully up to speed until year 3 or 4, Bradberry can still very well get there. He's way ahead of where Josh was this far in. And Butler hasn't even gotten a chance yet and has dealt with injuries. No it wasn't a good draft so far but things can easily change in a year or two.

I really don't think it can turn into a very good draft. I appreciate your hopefulness, but it's not very realistic at this point.

I also completely disagree on him compared to Norman. He's nowhere near the level of shutdown corner Norman proved he could be by 2014.

Depends on Butler.   He played fairly well at the end of last season.  If he improves, and becomes a player, then its not a bad draft.  In reality, keeping 2 out of 5 is about par for the course for most NFL drafts.

  At what point in 2012 or 2013 did Josh Norman prove anything resembling a shutdown corner? Is that why he barely played in 2013 and didn’t even start until mid 2014. What about that is proven?

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
