Five NFC teams that failed to fill needs (ATL & CAR included)

[CatMan72]

Board goes vertical and horizontal.....NEED determines who on the horizontal board gets picked.  Board is different for every team.  Some really good players don't even get put up.  For example, TE and DT.  Need bigger at DT so DT was picked.  We already know Gettlemen had 3 guys showing up on his horizontal board.  Need dictated the pick.  I would argue their are fair odds someone like Hopkins could of been that 3rd guy discussed.

 

Same goes for most all of the draft.

 

Yup, the board is filtered by need - I'm not denying that - but ultimately BPA rules the day.

Waaaah... I want it all, now! Jesus. We aren't 1 WR away from winning it all this year. Let Gettleman build up/sort out the damn roster. You people are caricatures.

We're going to regret passing on Keenan Allen

Here are the WR the New York Giants have drafted for Eli Manning since he was taken in the 2004 draft:

2004 - Jamaar Taylor (6th round, 168th pick) - out of the league

2006 - Sinorice Moss (2nd round, 44th pick) - out of the league

2007 - Steve Smith (2nd round, 51st pick) - 46 receptions in 6 seasons

2008 - Mario Manningham (3rd round, 95th pick) - #2 level WR when healthy

2009 - Hakeem Nicks (1st round, 29th pick) - #2 level WR with #1 potential

2009 - Ramses Barden (3rd round, 85th pick) - 17 receptions in 3 seasons

2011 - Jerrel Jernigan (3rd round, 83rd pick) - 22 total receiving yards in 2 seasons

2012 - Rueben Randle (2nd round, 63rd pick) - 19 receptions in 1 season

[Who Said What?]

We drafted 5 wr's in the previous 3 drafts, but yeah we totally should have taken a late round flyer on some guy in the middle of our draft board.

 

If Jarrett, Robinson, or any of those five worked out we would not even be talking about this.  Jarrett would still be under thirty.  He had just as much if not more production than all of these fools in the draft this year.  He was a bum in the league though.  I am glad someone sees that we have not completely negated the position.  I am overjoyed that we are not the Lions.  I trust the talent evaluators who saw something that said do not take a flyer on these recievers. I cannot believe people thought we should have wasted picks on guys in the late rounds either.  Bringing in competition is not good enough for our defensive backfield, but it is exactly what we should have done by drafting mid-rounders for WR.  Huddle logic makes my head hurt.

they steadily add talent.

 

Last 16 years...in rounds 1 and 2.  Carolina drafted 1 2nd round WR

the point is they made the effort to get weapons around their QB. Steve smith stats with the giants where better then what you put down. also you called Hakeem a #2 WR,if so what is LaFell? Randle began to take playing time from Hixon last year who the panthers are using as a #3.

Waaaah... I want it all, now! Jesus. We aren't 1 WR away from winning it all this year. Let Gettleman build up/sort out the damn roster. You people are caricatures.

 

You never know...no one would have thought we were a couple players away in 2003....Jake, Davis, Prohel didn't appear to be pieces to put us over the top.

 

Seattle didn't think Russell Wilson was the answer to a deep postseason run last year

[top dawg]

Our WR position doesn't seem to be a position of strength. We are rolling the dice on an aging legend, glorified smurfs, projects, and---to be nice---WR2-3 hybrids.  That's the way it is for now---the cold hard truth.  Let's hope Lady Luck is working in our favor this year.

[The Huddler]

ThERES ONLY SO MUCH GETTLE COULD DO WITH 5 FUGGIN PICKS!!!

HE WILL GET US RECIEVER WEAPONS!!!

HE IS STILL GETTING RID OF THE HURNEY STINK ADROUND THIS DAMN PLACE!!!!

HE WILL GET US RECIEVERS DAMNIT!!!!!

Exactly. The point is that effort was made a look they have two superbowls to show for it.

People always dismiss criticism from "experts" but the honest truth is that we have never had back to back winning seasons we deserve every bit of it.

[The Huddler]

Its like you guys expect him to field a damn superbowl team this year.

He had an absolutly aweful cap situation to manage, and five fuggin drafy picks!!

Holy crap fellas you act like gettleman has been neglecting positions for years!

He emphasised the Qb position and he will definatly get us weapons.
