Revisiting the Historic 2012 draft

You remember the draft---we got Luke out of it.  As these players are now in the midst of their prime, lets check in and see how they are doing:

1. QB Andrew Luck (retired)

2. QB RGIII (From a starter in Washington for several games to 20 miles away as a scrub in Baltimore, he is done)

3. RB Trent RIchardson (even though he was in the pool of available players recently, he was not drafted---by the XFL)

4. OT Matt Kalil (He gave it his best shot, if you are talking about SUCKING)

5.  WR Justin Blackmon (What in the hell is this list?  last seen in 2013 pulling up to a crack house with an ankle bracelet on-joke)

6. CB Morris Claiborne (another NFL substance abuser, a current free agent. Oft injured, he has only started 59 out of 128 games in his career.  Still, after Luck, this guy is the second most successful player.)

7.  S Mark Barron.  (This is actually the player I wanted--has transitioned from S to ILB (Steelers) to salvage a career.  Never lived up to the hype.  Pittsburgh, the last stop in a weird career of bouncing between the Bucs and Rams, just terminated his contract last month. )

8. QB Ryan Tanneyhill.  ( Well, he sucked for good while and had a good year in Tennessee. Who knows?)

9.  MLB Luke Keuchly (retired.  next stop, Canton.)

Noteworthy:  For all you inspiring GMs needing some hope that you too could become an NFL GM, the Browns not only selected Richardson in the first round, they had a second pick---Brandon Weeden.

Feeling good about the PANTHERS after this?  Round 2?  Amini Silatolu.

lmfao its even funnier because  this is coming after the 2011 draft, which was a top 3 draft this millenium. to be fair to rg3 though, he was a great  player and superemly talented, he just had injury issues and the redskins kept forcing him to play injured and now he's a shell of his former self. he probably got the cam treatment worse than cam did. (sound familar?)

Horrific 

I mean, this is the result of countless hours of watching film, interviews, combines, intelligence testing, visits, interviewing high school and college coaches and teammates----------there are people who are paid a lot of money to find the best talent-----and this is the red carpet? 

Without looking, I could have throw darts at a board or pulled names out of a hat and bested this.

Haha exactly. I honestly wonder if a twitter poll would do just as well. Could save the league millions.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
