Agreed A and O.

Just as I suspected. The last 3 draft picks don't even count. Why the heck didn't we grab McElroy as well??!!

You know, one does not judge a draft ONLY by who you picked.

A draft is judged as a whole including who you passed on, meaning who you COULD HAVE picked in place of who you did pick.

You then compare the two groups.

The problem with listening to draft analysists after the fact is that they can only of necessity deal with who you picked.

For those who don't understand what I am saying, supposed we had drafted Ingram and Mallet and drafted respectable OL help and gotten most of our other picks in later rounds (which I believe we could have).

Only time will tell .

If pouncy isn't as good as his bro

if Thomas has fumbleitus and no vision to see the holes and hit them

if Gates is Ted Ginn Jr Jr

if Clay brings us anything

if Ingram and mallet become stars

Sounds like Omar is sucking up for some extra access.

Time will tell on this draft but it sure looks like we got 4 day one contributors and possible starters.

The verdict is still out on last year until we see whay Odrick and Edds do and also see how much Misi improves.

We are def getting a vet qb this year as that is the best way to win 10 games....not with a reach for a rookie qb.

And don't forget we also got Brandon Marshall in the second round!

Who was the QB throwing the NICE pass's to Gates on his team?

He has a decent arm, and made some nice throws, albeit the Shotgun, but still, maybe we can take a nab at him in the F/A if he is out of college yet.

Yea, and he actually looked off the safety and everything! Make the Sloth watch him...
