Expect 4 or more bad draft picks next year...

if we have more than 8 picks.

Just an observation I had when looking at our past 5 drafts. When we've had more than 8 picks, we usually have 4 or more bad picks. However when we had only 7 or 8 picks, we only had 2 or 3 bad picks. By the way, the 2005 draft had 10 picks with 7 of them being bad. Our worst ever. Seven or eight picks is the magic number. Anything more and we struggle.

2006 (8 picks):

McClover

Montgomery

Salley

2007 (8 picks):

Shaw

Robinson

Jarrett

2008 (9 picks):

Bernadeau

Taylor

Hayden

Godfrey

2009 (7 picks):

Robinson

Irvin

2010 (10 picks):

Stanford

Pike

Edwards

Clausen

Here is the dreaded 2005 draft (10 picks):

Berger

Haye

Emanuel

LeFors

Ellison

Mathis

Shelton

I wouldn't call Godfrey a bad pick. An average safety at best, but for a 3rd rd pick to start almost every game, and at a moderately bad to above average level, I'd call that a pretty average pick. And it's way too early to determine the 2010 bad picks...

fwiw...i would rather use most of the picks that we can trade after the 3rd round to either trade up in the draft or trade for vet players to fill holes at DT and OG especially.

we have enough youth on the team already.

we very easily could end up with 10 picks this year, though...we'll have several comp picks, including another 3rd for peppers.

If Dwayne Harris is available still around the 4th or 5th round he would be a solid wr pick up for us. After seeing him for 4 years at ECU I'm thoroughly convinced he'll be a player at the next level. Same feeling I had about Chris Johnson.....and that turned out pretty well haha

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
