Also of note,  Brady Christensen might be the only offensive lineman we hit on as well if ickey looks the same next year.

To me Ickey looked more lost then anything, I'm willing to say that was more bad coaching then talent. Teams ran all kinds of line stuns all season and it seem to work all year over there.

He wasn't the best at pass blocking coming in but having to block for a QB in shotgun all day probably don't fit his game tho

BC should have always been the backup LT/swing T don't know why Rhule never gave him a shot to see what he had in him at his natural position...

Guess how many of those players turned into pro bowlers or blue chip starters??

 

Zero.

 

I count about 3 players who are decent.

Tremble, Hubbard, and Brady Christensen.  Horn has been hurt too much to put him in that group. Brady Christensen is teetering because he's had 2 seasons of getting injured.

 

2022 and 2023 drafts have 0 impact starters.

We been talking about head coaches so much I think the gm hire is a lot more important. Even looking further down our franchises draft history we have a tendency to miss on the majority of our picks no matter the year.

In all fairness, if Horn could stay healthy, he is bordering on Revis island level of shutdown. Unfortunately he just can't stay healthy, and is made worse by the fact that he didnt have injury concerns prior to being drafted.

I still think we should buy low on him now and give him a good contract while he is still cheapish and hope he can avoid the injury bug.

As for the rest of the picks... Yeah, they sucked. I still think Icky is good in the right scheme and think Mays is solid depth. But yeah, those are some ugly drafts...

A better list is one that features players we passed on in positions of need.  To me, taking a flyer on a player when there were few other options is one thing, but drafting busts and watching those picked after them at the same position prospers is agonizing.  I can't watch Houston now because it pisses me off.  I am one of the few who have not totally given up on Bryce, but I am not feeling very good about him right now.

    • would love it if Vegas were Week 5 (Oct 7).  Just throwing it out there with fingers crossed
    • I believe you are correct. Everyone remembers that record setting drubbing of the Broncos but that was the highlight of their season. They have very good coaching overall and they have a ton of talent. With a better QB they could have knocked off the Chiefs IMO. We aren't even in the conversation of the Dolphins until proven otherwise. We couldn't even get in the end zone against the lowly Chicago Bears. We got shutout and blown out by the CJ Beathard led Jaguars for fugs sake. We can't even compete with bad teams let alone run up the score on them. To me if I'm being completely realistic if I'm the GM and my job is on the line and I feel like Tua is Bryce Young's ceiling I'm drafting QB in the first round next year unless he just magically has a season like Stroud did last year. That's it. I'm genuinely not trying to be abrasive about this it just gets really mind numbing eventually that we keep lowering the bar down down down down down and it's like hey it's fine to have expectations. And if you have a young QB in his prime and he isn't giving you at least prime Jake Delhomme arm talent it's time to keep looking for a QB.
    • Not exactly.  They show that Jones was making the most of the opportunities he had.  I was never a fan of his, but I think that the talent level in NE last year is somehow escaping the massive negative attention it should have received.  That team was terrible - especially the talent and coaching on offense - and everyone was still afraid of the wrath of hoodie. He'll have a chance to restart his career at some point.  He was a middle of the pack QB as a rookie.  Plenty of teams out there would love to make it up to middle of the pack at QB.
