Prepare for more bitching and complaining. 

And we will continue to bitch and moan until proven wrong. What have the leaders of this org done lately to show us otherwise?  That have royally screwed up at every turn, why stop now?

Were you also bothered by people bitching and moaning about the past few drafts?  Because I've got news for you, they should have been.

I laughed just as I am now. It is what it is. The draft is a crap shoot and  no 2 teams boards are the same. None follow the draftniks rankings. So thinking it was good or bad will only show itself after a season or two.

Well bitching about this draft is premature. No prospect has played a down in the nfl yet and you will not know how any of them will do until they have played a full season or two. It just the way it goes for the majority of draft picks. Most take time to adjust. A few show something right away but that doesn't mean they will stay that way.

I want at least 2 of these 4 picks to not be project players for the love of God 

Damn near player that falls to the 4th round and beyond is a project. That or they either have concerns about their character or medical.

I definitely agree no one knows for sure for years down the road but it is pretty proven by now most of our drafts have been terrible the past few years.  Some people love all these prospects some dont and it changes nothing about what they will actually end up being.  I think its just as reasonable for the people who didnt like a prospect to explain their reasoning as it is for the people who do like said prospect.

Well at this point in time I cannot understand why one would have either position. There's no reason to love or hate the selections. That should be determined after the season.

I really wish we would take Troy Franklin with the first pick today even if just based on value.  Analytics love him if you look in to the in depth statistics and measurable.   Unfortunately I doubt we do though.  I figure we take te or cb with this pick, which you could say are bigger needs now but you forget needs on day 3 as far as Im concerned and focus on who you think the have the best odds to be a solid player.  Day 3 is for gambling.

You dont have prospects you like or dislike going in to the draft?  Some people prefer certain measurables or strengths on tape than others.

I think Dan last night basically said first 2 days were bpa and day 3 is more need based, at least he didn't object to a reporters framing of that in the presser.

    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
