One of Our Biggest Problems Sunday

Recommended Posts

2008 2nd Round + 2008 4th Round + 2009 1st Round Picks = Jeff Otah (INACTIVE)

2009 2nd rounder = Sherrod Martin (OUT 2nd Half)

2010 1st rounder = Mike Goodson (INACTIVE) and Everette Brown (CUT)

2010 2nd rounder = Jimmy Clausen (INACTIVE)

Not a single pick used from the first two rounds from 2009 or 2010 draft was on the field in the second half.

From all the 1st or 2nd round draft picks from the past 4 drafts only one player started and played the entire game: last year's first overall, Cam Newton. Only 4 saw the field at all.

Talk about Free Agency all you'd like, our drafting has become miserable.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
