You think that's bad? 2022 draft's even worse lol but not including trades

Fitty has been absolutely terrible at everything a GM does

You still think Bryce is better then stroud?

it really speaks volumes to me about what type of GM Scott Fitterer is whenever you see the owner pick up the phone in the draft war room & call a former player & ask him instead of the GM who we should take in the 2nd round ...just saying

Not to bag on tepper or fitterererer. The stuff Ive seen mingo was the only player leftd on their big board with a high ranking. Calling smitty, whos been brilliant about draft WRs was to re-firm their beliefs. 

I dont follow the draft like past years, only thing a heard about mingo was he became ultra hot two weeks before draft day. Just jumped into the late 1st talks after having 4th round early projections. 

Fitz said somewhere they wanted one of the 2 OGs that went just before panthers pick. @Verge did you hear the same??

Yeah I remember hearing that as well. Likely Avila or Bergeron at OG. 

If memory serves me right, word was they had their eye on Nolan Smith too.

And they mentioned they had an edge on their list that was taken early (McDonald was my guess)

Their big boards were still very flawed if they had Mingo as best available.

D+ is WAY too kind. There's never been a clearer F after one year that I can ever recall. This looks like the 2011 draft class but with Bryce Young instead of Cam Newton.

With the trades it's lower than F. They need to make up a way to grade an F to explain how bad that draft was.

The DJJ pick right before Diaby went off the board reminds me of when Hurney grabbed Edmund Kugbila and gifted GB Dave Bakhtiari with the very next pick.

The one Atlanta ended up taking iirc. Though I'm not sure they would have taken him over Mingo still.

And look at that, he's already making noise against us today.

Spears had a big TD play.

LaPorta a TD. 

Rookies performing well everywhere but here.  Oh wee mayne

I had a penile implant better than our draft...
