We drafted Greg Little giving up 1st round value. We drafted Brown over Wirfs and Wills and we drafted Horn over Slater. We took Marshall over Humphrey and a long snapper over Smith. We have no effing clue how to draft OL.

Hurney gave Little a 1st round value. Anyone that watched the combine had him sliding to day 3 or UDFA.

No one is arguing that. The point is QB is the MOST important position in sports. If you don’t have one and one you like in available in the draft you draft him. Fix the OL with other picks/FA/next year. Priority one is getting your QB. If there isn’t one yoyu like that’s a different story. 

You also can't make 1 happen where there isn't 1..

We'll see if it holds true. Because damned if the Bengals ain't in the SB with an OL as bad as ours. Sucks going up against Aaron Donald with a porous IOL though... 😂

Bengals can run block Atleast our Oline couldn't even do that..

This. After the Combine I'm pretty sure I said I wouldn't spend a draft pick on Greg Little. ANY draft pick. It's impossible to overstate how trash he looked doing those drills.

If that's really his strategy then either they had some serious dirt on Fields or Fitts ain't callin' the shots.

Incidentally, I agree.  If you find a QB you believe in, you draft him if he's there.  Doesn't matter where you are in the draft.

I agree with everything Fitts said... and that you said. The Panthers passing on Fields and Slater to take a CB... yeah, that doesn't line up with what Fitts is saying here.

He also states that CBs are a game changing position.  My guess, they thought Horn had a lot better chance of becoming a great CB than Slater did of becoming a great LT so they went with Horn.

In regard to Fields, they simply might not have liked him for whatever reason.  Teams can vary greatly on QB evaluations.  Also its possible they liked Fields but didn't feel like QB was a need because they had just traded for Darnold.

It sounds crazy to us fans, but I think once they traded for Darnold, drafting a QB was pretty much off the table, for all we know if the trade for Darnold hadn't' happened we might have took Fields or Jones. 

My guess is they convinced themselves (probably Fitts included) that none of the QBs that were likely to be there when we picked had as good, or better, chance of Darnold being successful.

It has been said that Hurney wanted to trade up to get Herbert in 2020 and was voted down because they did not want to give up picks.  No telling if this is true or not but thought it was interesting that Fitts mentioned Herbert. 
Hurney certainly had his faults and stayed way past his time, but he did get Jake, Matt Moore (great backup career and undrafted) and Cam. Obviously Jimmy was a bust but I believe it when I hear Hurney wanted Herbert. We got Brown instead.

    • Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.
    • Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy
    • Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
