This is why I'd be a terrible GM

There are three guys we can draft here and I think all three are nfl starters. Norzoud, dj james, and Washington are all gold to me. 

As I always say in threads like this, I learned I have no business in an nfl front office when my dumb ass was furious we burned a 3rd rounder on some undersized WR (from Utah of all places!!!) back in 2001.

That stuff happens. 32 GMs passed on the GOAT QB at least 5 times. It's not about an individual player, it's about building a team, and in that respect, we've been failing miserably for the majority of our existence.

Players like Smitty and Brady are far and few between. It's about CONSISTENTLY drafting the right players. Look at our last recent drafts. We would be better off right now had the huddle just made the picks. And it would cost them millions of dollars less.

The draft is very luck based. Teams can consistently draft archetype players to succeed in right situations like the Steelers and Ravens but in reality its a coinflip whether any player in the 3rd thru 7th rounds is an NFL player. Doesn't matter who you take.

There's probably an alternate universe where Eric Shelton was a pro-bowl RB for the Packers and Joe Adams lead the league in kickoff/punt TD's for 3 straight years

Don't ever feel bad for being wrong about a draft prospects. Just remember, there are busts and steals in every single draft. The highly paid professionals get this poo wrong every year too.

I thought young was a complete fug up of a pick

 

I thought Chandler Z was the key to our guard problem

I can't tell you how pumped up I was when we drafted Eric Shelton.

Well, I consider myself an NFL scouting genius.  I hated last seasons draft. Turned out i was right to hate it. I like this draft. We did exceptionally well.

1. Top 5 receiver. 

2. Top RB in the entire draft.

3. The 2nd best TE in the draft.

4. KY lb. Time will see.

 

All this with no 1st round pick. 

 

The rest whatever. 

Much better than last year.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
