3 of the top 10 picks from that year are no longer with the team that drafted them.  

I always go back and look at older drafts, it no longer shocking at the huge mess that happens. Young men and big money along with moving, its impossible to for-see the outcome.

Drafting is a crapshoot, always has been.  And there is a strong element of luck in it.  From that same draft, just look at Miami.  They sold their soul to get Tua, and while he looks solid when healthy, he still hasn't played a full season.   And they still haven't made a playoff game, and if they don't this year, its going to become problematic for them.

Ive found no matter the GM or org, if you get 2 starters and 1 key backup/special teamer= you won the draft.

Clemson players by and large struggle in the NFL or at the very least rarely live up to their draft status.  A few have produced, but the slew of underwhelming or complete disappointments far exceed those hyped players considering how many Tigers that have been drafted over the past decade in the Dabo era.

I was on the Chinn train that pre-draft spring and caught serious heat for hyping the unknown small school mid-west kid over the local Clemson star.  I'd said it then and I say it now, it's easier for a 4/5 star kid to show out on a team loaded with other 4/5 star players compared to a 3 star player on a team almost void of 4/5 star talent on the entire squad.  If that's the case, and the 3 star is player making all sorts of plays on a pedestrian team, he's the one that should grab your attention.

They really don’t. I’d bet the Clemson guys fail at the same rate as every other school. I mean for every Ferrell you’ve got a Lawrence (both of them) and for every Lawson you’ve got a Jarrett. Terrell’s been good and Higgins, etc.

What I think you’ll find is that there are good GMs/teams like the Steelers and Ravens where their guys just seem to fit and do well and then there are teams like the Raiders who draft Jamarcus Russell and Ferrell. Doesn’t mean LSU or Clemson players don’t hit.

Don’t be surprised to see Simmons play a lot better. The Cardinals coaches the past few years aren’t exactly the cream of the crop. I mean they can’t even get their #1 pick QB to study film.

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

      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.
