What is the justification of keeping Hurney? Otah, Brown, AE all picks we gave up picks for are now busts.

From the past 5 drafts (too early to tell for 2011):

Out of the 8 picks in 2006 only DWill and Anderson are here

Out of the 8 picks in 2007 only Beason, Kalil, and C.Johnson are here

2008 wasn't that spectacular. Otah is a bust. Barnidge and Bernadeau may not be here next season. Taylor is gone. Hayden is gone (thank God!).

Almost the entire 2009 draft is no longer on the team. Brown, Irvin, Fiametta, D.Robinson gone. Goodson may not be here next season. Maybe the samething for Martin next year.

The 2010 draft is heading that way too. Jimmy Clausen, a wasted pick. AE doesn't look like he'll be here next season. Pike is gone. McClain is gone. Stanford might not be here next season. Norwood may be out next season too.

Then you take into account the decision to give DWill a big contract when our new scheme doesn't rely on the RBs that much. Should've shopped him around. 4 mil a year to a weaker kicker as well? Ignoring the DT position after Ron Edwards went down. Not addressing a starting CB. That's just this season. Not to mention the Delhomme and Peppers f**k ups.

I just don't see the reason for keeping him around any longer.

    • KP is not a straight up carbon copy but they look awful close to me.  T
    • You are right. At the same time I don’t think people are watching games going come on Bryce put it on the ground or sail it OB or whatever. They just have trouble seeing him turning his 3 or four or five top games of 2025 into the weekly standard outing. Which you expect for the kind of money he will ask for (speaking for myself anyway).  
    • In terms of comparing Pickett and Young's arm talent it's basically a push at best. Pickett is sitting at 6.2 yards per pass attempt for his career while Bryce sits at 6.0 Last season Bryce was 6.3 in yards per pass attempt. Only Justin Fields Spencer Rattler (both 6.2) Kyler Murray (6.0) 41 year old Joe Flacco (6.0) 44 year old Phillip Rivers (5.9) rookie Cam Ward (5.9) and Tyrod Taylor (5.8) had less pass yards per attempt than Bryce Young in his third season as a starter. Folks going around acting as if it is beyond the pale to say Pickett might have a better arm than Young are living in an alternate reality. You can choose to not believe your own eyes after 46 games but everyone else will acknowledge reality and move forward accordingly.
