I have yet to see the perfect draft...

This is what it look like in case you happen to stumble across it in the future:

Who knew? Perhaps the greatest pick in NFL history is a 6th round comp pick. If that doesn't underline the crap shoot nature of the draft, I don't know what does. How many General Managers fuged up that day?

Moore was an easy decision. Just like Cam at QB or Star at DT, our need at WR was so obvious and the love from Norv was as well.

Also, if we keep Kalil another year, that’s on Marty. There is no more difficulty getting rid of him. He’s sunk costs since we did the option bonus let year to save cap. Paying $7.25m more for garbage play (similar to $5m for a WR4 in our offense) is on Marty and if he does it because he’s scared then that’s on him.

Amazing how every time we discuss Hurney’s moves Gettleman comes up. I already said we whiffed on Hall with guys like Eddie Jackson available (although we have a stupid fear of drafting them, like Justin Reid this year). Gettleman made lots of bad moves, get over it. That’s not a defense of Marty’s moves. Just like Gettleman in 2017, it was a good draft but both easily could have been amazing if we didn’t go for projects in the 3rd and 4th. Hurney continues to do that and he’s got to stop. We’ve got another extra 3rd, don’t waste it on a guy who doesn’t fit or has to be exceptional to overcome a deficiency. There’s too many good potentional OL/DL guys in this draft.

Just so you know, unlike others (perhaps even you) I know how to praise and criticise Gettleman and Hurney. When Gettleman was the GM, I gave him plenty of praise. Plenty of it! There were people low-key assuming that I was a G-man nut-hugger. I gave him time and was extremely patient to wait and see how his plan worked out. As time went on and he began to make obviously questionable decisions, he got the criticism that he deserved. When Hurney extended Jake, at the time I thought that was just about as bad a decision as any in franchise history. You didn't hear me crying and whining when he was axed. It was time for change. Now that he's back, after hopefully learning something (and there is evidence to that fact, and @MasterAwesome has a post in the other thread alluding to that opinion), I'm going to give him a certain amount of time before and if I become highly critical of his second tenure. To me it's just fair, and simply a more thoughtful perspective.

As for Kalil and whoever else, or whether Moore was an easy pick, we just see things differently. No need to continue going around in circles.

The positive if Smith is at least there is a vet guy on the roster. We arent forced to do anything. At any point this offseason a better option becomes available we have instant $5 million available. There was literally reason not to opt for the second year

Comp pick we could have gotten or canceled a signing out. That’s how Patriots get so many comp picks. Make the last years of the contract an option so when you don’t exercise it, they are eligible. Smith now is not. Since his value seems to be well above 5M, we could have gotten a 5th.
