I doubt woodson comes here we have no desire to be in win now mode and are trying to build toward the future he won't want to play with a bunch of scrubs that are just gonna make him look bad

People aren't exactly beating Woodson's door down, and the market determined that. It would be like a slightly more expensive Drayton Florence deal, only with a guarantee of much more production coming from the player.

How is this a funny thread? Aren't most people unhappy with the draft feeling that way b/c we didn't address the secondary (and/or WR)? Would Charles Woodson not instantly come here and start?

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa! Fuging hilarious!!!

dude we had 4 opportunities to draft a quality "fresh DB" and it seems the Secondary is not of interest. Indeed I would love a proven vet but with the combo of Gettle/RR I doubt they are gonna spend much more money if any. We have some major bills due in the next few years.

I'm disappointed that we didn't address the secondary but I'm withholding judgment until we see these guys on the field. Only pick I'm close to writing off before so is the 4th rounder.

Other than that, I'm approaching this as though Gettleman felt we needed to fix the 'unsexy' areas of the team, as I termed them earlier - the lines, the lunch pale guys, etc. and by doing so, I think he feels the playmakers already on the team will be able to step up and do more OR we will add some more vets post-draft to take on significant roles in those positions.

I'm guessing he viewed the team as a house. You can have an absolutely beautiful home on the exterior, but if there is a foundational issue, the home won't continue to stand. He fixed the foundation in this draft and I'm hoping he uses guys like Gettis on offense, adds quality FAs for the right price, and drafts more playmakers in the years to come to develop on both sides of the ball, now that the foundation is strong.

agreed. I truly was expecting a DB or WR at least somewhere in the mix. Nevertheless, I assume this picks should not come as a surprise because the area the huddle wanted were already taken care of through free agency thus far according the the bosses. I think the next big issue for us is taking out the trash. We may as well take the trash out now instead of waiting until next year. I can slice two WRs, jimmy, Fua, and possibly make a feature trade or two.

Gettleman will all a sudden become GOD again

It's just funny that i predicted months ago that most of these people would hate Gettleman after today. The D needed to be addressed instead of having to outscore in the late part of the game, maybe we can hold an opponent to under 30.

Those people needs to start watching Arena Football.

It ain't the NFL without Defense

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
