The lost draft capital is still real.

Yea and apparently it’s so important you can’t even remember where we were supposed to pick the other times it happened. 
 

No players tank. A third of those guys who played today won’t even by on the roster. They don’t give a poo where we pick. We moved down two spots, not ten. The crying after a win is crazy.

I wonder if he is doing it on purpose so he can leave. Didn’t we block him from getting HC interviews this offseason? 

No. Blocked him from lateral DC interviews only. He could still interview for HC positions

It’s really not a huge factor.  It really boils down to coach and QB, then put together serviceable Defense which can be piecemealed via free agency with the draft.  I don’t think the chiefs or the Eagles got there via a few draft slots.  I think we have the QB, jury is still out on the coach.  Keying solely on draft position picks to create a winning culture isn’t gonna work.  Coach/ QB, reliable D…meaning stop the run.

Me remember exactly where isn't relevant.

No, players don't tank. They have their own careers to worry about.

You're making zero relevant points here.

Draft capital is "real" but it's illusionary.  You have to assume the player picked ends up being as good or better than the round and number that he's picked in. 

So while draft capital is real, draft selection is anything but.  Who we draft is much more important than when we draft.  I think the continued building of the team culture and player development is much, much more important with this team at this time than tanking.

We're a team that needs a lot of quality players.  We'll get one.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
