Scott Fitterer's Draft History

[Newtcase]

Fitts is a Chicago double agent and is fantastic at that job.

It will be so crazy to see a team whiff on two top 5 draft picks in one year.

Letting Brandon Beene walk set us back 10-15 years.  

Get ready for that 2.0 when evero gets hired as a HC, he takes Morgan or someone from the FO, and whatever team gets them is in the playoffs in 2026. Meanwhile Carolina will still be recycling QBs

This just takes into account the draft. Look at all the BS trades he made... When we hired him, his forte was digging out great talent after round one and deep into the later rounds... allegedly. Who knew they were talking about him digging out the most succulent bits at the buffet....

Oh I know. I just don't have the bandwith tonight to create a whole thread based on his other moves. Obviously CJ Henderson, Miles Sanders, and Ian Thomas's extension lead the list.

Now do free agency and trades…hint it ain’t much better

I got roasted on here for saying repeatedly that Fitts should follow Rhule out the door. Well, here we are.

I mean as soon as he walked through the door there was just bonehead decision after bonehead decision. Trading for Darnold, fine, but you pick up his $19m 5th year option? What the f*ck. All his trades up in the drafts have been disasters. Have any of his draft day trades worked out?

His best draft pick is probably Icky and that’s not saying a lot after what a terrible game he had today. What is super weird is they went up there last season and didn’t have that problem under Wilks.

I've been saying this since he got here. And I've been told I was wrong again and again.

Tell me I'm wrong again.

Aside from Frankie Luvu I can’t really say what he’s done right in free agency. Austin Corbett was a fine signing I guess. 

[Shocker]

He also traded McCaffrey and Moore and gave up picks for bad players who totally bombed here.

He has been impressively terrible to be honest

Certain people where to busy trying to blame everything on Rhule.  Just because Rhule had “final say” doesn’t mean he was coming up with all the bad ideas. 

[HarbingersDad]

Fitt must be a world class yes man for Tepper. I can’t think of any other reason he’s around. The stench of Matt Rhule will always be present with Fitterer in the building. This franchise is damn near dead.

Having a bad team is the result of many things, but poor drafting and roster management are the catalyst. 

Let's take a look at what he's done so far:

2021:

Jaycee Horn - good but hurt all the time and therefore useless to the team

Terrace Marshall - Bust

Brady Christensen - Serviceable but out for the year 

Tommy Tremble - Bust

Chuba Hubbard - looked ok last year but now can't crack the lineup over Miles fuging Sanders

Daviyon Nixon - Cut

Keith Taylor - Had maybe the worst game I've ever seen from a CB last year against Pittsburgh, cut

Deonte Brown  - Bust/Cut

Shi Smith - Cut

Thomas Fletcher - LOL

Phil Hoskins - who? 

2022

Ikem Ekwonu - looked ok last year, terrible so far this year, not trending in the right direction

Matt Corral - cut/bust

Brandon Smith - cut

Amare Barno - not an impact player, buried somewhere on the depth chart, special teams guy at best

Cade Mays - awful, probably shouldn't be on the team

Kalon Barnes - I don't even know who this is, but apparently he was cut

2023

Bryce Young - incomplete, no way to know if he's any good or not, some troubling signs

Jonathan Mingo - incomplete, seems to be able to get open, has potential

DJ Johnson - a dumb pick even for Fitterer, and that's saying something. Can't even get a jersey

Chandler Zavala - playing only because he has to, spent most of today in Dalton's lap. Probably sucks

Jammie Robinson - see DJ Johnson

 

So out of 22 draft picks for Fitterer, nine have been cut and aren't on the team, at least four others should have been cut and aren't NFL talent (Tremble, Marshall, Mays, Barno), one can't stay healthy, and the rest are incomplete and/or have major question marks. If you want to know why we suck it starts with having a bottom 5 GM who has no clue how to manage a team or evaluate talent. He was the one constant for the recent sucking besides Rhule and Tepper (who we can't do anything about). Now that he has successfully mortgaged our future it's time to move on as soon as possible. 

Yeah. When a grown man doesn’t have a clearly identifiable Adams Apple, but a nut sack where that should be. Be afraid

He is legitimately horrible at his job. He makes me yearn for the days of Marty Hurney.

inb4 mr scot throws a tantrum about how fiterer worked for rhule and hurney is the worst!1!1!11!!!

Marty hit on first rounders and at least gave us our HOF players.  Fitt fuqing sucks 

[Shocker]

This is way worse than Hurney
