Music to my ears ... 

And I can also guarantee, if Rhule was still in the building then AR would be our trade up choice. We all know he was a magnet to athletic profiles. Pretty sure his philosophy was get the most athletic guys possible and coach'em up.

Problem he ran into: 60-80% below average coaches made up his staff.    

The tape doesn't lie.

Little is a great example. 

Olineman... I forgot about them. That would be the exception, to a certain point.

Greg Little: Was severely lacking in the athletic department. That had to be a Hurney pick. I'd think you'd like to stay away from any lineman that has "plays soft" anywhere near his scouting report. Especially in the top 100 picks.

I kinda view the combine the same as the wonderlic. People use to poo all over it because “it just means how good you are at taking test, not how smart somebody is”.

Well to me the combine is just a physical test, no pads, opposing sides, game situations. So it’s kind of the same thing. So if you are going to go all in on combine results, make the wonderlic public too and give it the same credit.

Really the tape is the best thing to examine IMO because it actually shows what people do and how they react and perform in game situations.

Do we really think Rhule had that much control of the draft?

Not unique to Rhule...

Coaches tell personnel departments what's important to them based on systems, general preferences, etc.

Rhule valued athleticism. And honestly, given his college coaching experience, that probably makes sense.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.

      Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
