Tampa picking Gerald McCoy was obvious, they finally get a pick they can't screw up.

Atlanta getting Weathspoon made me mad, I was hoping they would choose a DE and Sean would drop to the Saints.

New Orleans getting Patrick Robinson was a surprise to many fans,but after thinking about it..made perfect sense. When Greer and Porter went down with injury we were down to Randall Gay and Malcolm Jenkins. Jenkins is probably moving to FS with the addition Robinson

You would probably be the ONLY person to think that. Dude is a serious player.

The guy was a great college player yeah, but he's supposedly the best pass rushing DT in the draft, but Ndamakong Suh had almost as many sacks in 1 year as McCoy had in his career. McCoy is going to have some serious problems transitioning to the NFL because his technique isn't there right now. It's all lower body for him. His upper body isn't where it needs to be to be a dominant 3 technique tackle in the NFL as evidence by the fact he didn't even crack the top 12 in bench press reps at the combine.

I just think there's a pretty high bust potential for where he was drafted.

I was expecting the Taints to pick Sergio Kindle. I thought their need at LB was greater than DB.

I also agree with the hesitation about McCoy. There were LBs who lifted more than he did. If he has strength problems, he's going to be ineffective in the NFL. Good luck going up against most starting OT if you can't push a mountain. They'll just run to your side every down and over your flattened little body.

I think the CBs going down last year had something to do with it. CBs are invaluable. Dont think they want to have to pull Predator out of the stands again.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
