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.

    • Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.
    • I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
