So that whole thing of not giving up a sack for over half a dozen games or so (I forgot the final total) was accomplished by a blocker who's "not good"? 

You must have been watching different games than I was. I saw him beat, quite often. If a sack wasn't given up, it was due to Sam or PJ escaping. I didn't say he wasn't good.  I said he wasn't good in pass protection in big moments.

Go back and watch the last quarter of the Tampa Bay game.

We didn’t have a lot of picks to be honest after Ickey

My question is who is mostly responsible for our draft picks last year, Rhule or Fitt? Rhule was supposed to have control of the roster and draft picks. It'll be interesting to see Fitt's draft this year. Maybe it's too early to judge a draft class just one year but look at the Chiefs, they had a lot of rookies who contributed to their superbowl run. Draft smart and find players who can contribute immediately is the fastest way for a turnaround. We couldn't even find players who can contribute on a relatively talent depleted team.

We nailed LT after years of poo play from the position, and people are downplaying it. 
 

If you aren’t satisfied with Icky then I’m concerned with you. Can’t imagine walking around with that level of stress and anxiety.

So by my count Fitt has hit on 3 picks.  Icky, Horn and BC.  Granted its early but as we sit today after 2 drafts those are the 3 guys that are starters and contributing.

It would be hard to imagine anything less useful then a grade on a 1-year-old draft.

The grades they do right after the draft.

If we had Ickey in SB50, we win.  That's how good of a pick he is.

I'm eager to see how Fitterer does with the keys unequivocally in his hand. But man some people here are fuging blind homers. When Hurney was here derping it up his picks were assessed by most here after one season. It's funny how standards change because some people have an affinity for Scott.

No he was watching the Carolina Panthers 

Sam didn’t start until late November. That would be mainly Baker with PJ starting some. You just make up poo and present it like facts. Still waiting on us to sign Glass’s UFL coach as OC and sign Glass to a contract…

I like where this thread is going...patience is being emphasized and restraint is being employed before judging draft picks after one year. Just curious on how long to give them before they're confirmed as busts or not? Is it less than three years?

Not sure Fitt really gets any credit for the guys drafted prior to this offseason. 

Rhule was the GM so he does get the bulk of blame/credit. 

The reality of who was mostly responsible for each pick will likely never be known. What we do know is that from now on Fitterer is "The Guy."

I understand the feel to do these articles, it may be spot on…but it is too early. I wonder what the grade was for Kansas City in 2017 when Mahomes was drafted. He sat that year behind Alex Smith. Corral might turn out to be decent, no one knows this early. 

[top dawg]

I mean, Rhule was what I'll call a "holder backer," and day 3 picks take time to develop anyway, so grading them is a little useless after the first year, unless they get substantial playing time, and even then it's hard to say anything definitive with credibility most of the time.
