Funchess was a pick I always had issue with. I liked the KB pick. I just felt that once we had KB, Funchess was too redundant. You have to pair big and relatively slow with speed. It's a time proven concept. When you don't have a field stretcher it makes the job of the defense a lot easier and you start seeing those DBs creeping up making the running game tougher and those short to intermediate passing windows tighter.

We all bought in to the big guys let you compete mantra but it was a little too simplistic

Right and he was selected with what pick?

edit: that makes it even worse...I forgot about the other 2 picks.  JFC what a turd!

You trolling or something?  We drafted Jonathan Stewart in the 1st round, then we moved back into the 1st using our 2nd and 4th, plus a 1st in the next year's draft.

1st + 2nd + 4th = duhzz.

No, we selected Jeff Otah in the first round with what is known as a draft pick.

Thats 1.

To obtain the 1st round pick in which we drafted Otah, we traded a 2nd a 4th AND next years 1st.

Thats 2.

 

2008 1st

2009 1st

Maybe I misheard, but I thought I heard the announcing team say that Butler performed well last night, or maybe he performed well in camp.  Can't remember which it was.  

"Performing well" for Butler at this point is simply not getting cut. I don't think he's at all a lock to make this roster.

Really is time to let go and let the bills have him.

If he ends up on the outside looking in for a roster spot, I fully expect both of those organizations to get a phone call about possible trade interest before we outright release him. Both are in the top 10 on the waiver wire, but both might be concerned about the other making a move on him (assuming that either would potentially be interested to begin with).

He was dominant when on the field.  Talent wasn’t the issue with Otah.  A straight up monster in the run game.

I still think about what could’ve been... Imagine a healthy, prime Otah at RT opposite Gross in 13 instead of Bell...

2016 offseason was a poo show

It would have been hard to dismantle a SB team faster than Gettleman did...

Atrocious draft (outside of Bradberry), arrogantly letting Norman go for nothing, and refusing to spend money to bolster roster spots that needed addressing

I'm trying really hard to follow your logic here...

So how does the fact that we traded a 2nd and a 4th for that 1st round pick make it worse?  In either case, we simply "used 2 1sts" by your logic.  Seems like you're conflating actual draft pick usage and draft capital and you're confusing yourself and creating inconsistencies.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
