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

    • You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with. 
    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
