E Brown, A Edwards, J Otah

strangely enough, some of our draft picks have been great starters, some have been busts.

...sounds almost like the draft isn't a guarantee.

Haven't all of our first rounders at least turned out pretty well? I'm probably missing someone obvious but it seems like in Fox's tenure, anyway, they've all been starters.

I was trying to remember who we picked up when we traded down. Good call.

While I think that you have a definite point, you also have to consider that we've gotten some really, really good players with some of the moves.

Not lately. We could take this all the way back to 1995 if you wanted. I think Brown, Edwards, and Otah was worth where we got them but not what we gave up.

Back to '95 wouldn't really be fair, considering Hurney hasn't been here that long.

How do you figure Otah was not worth what we gave up?

I can see a point for Brown and Edwards, but Otah??

if Otah can stay healthy......he could easily make a run at being the best RT in the NFC or NFL. It is unforunate he has been injury prone......but he worth his 1st round price when on the field.

Agreed...the guy is a monster and is the best run blocker on the team and maybe in the league. You just can't get to our RBs when he is the lead blocker and I think its pretty apparent who the most valuable player on the OL is.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
