Should of scouted that guy better that is for damn sure but i blame Piano man on that pick. Thought he could make something out of that shit sandwich and boy was he wrong.

I honestly don't think we draft terribly overall, but Og is far from the only ammo you could use if you wanted to question our scouting. Especially lately. Guys like Boyd are good, but we haven't had enough "hits" lately, and that's a huge reason why we've missed the playoffs 3 years straight. The roster just isn't what it was from 2011-2015. We haven't replenished talent.

I get that people are in a feel good mood with Marv gone, and I'm not trying to be overly negative here. I just feel that questions about our drafting (over the last few years) are more than fair. We've had some major whiffs and not enough big time players drafted.

The league average of players drafted on NFL teams is mid 30s that means mid to high 20s that they have drafted on their roster. That means half their 53 man teams is made up of either Free Agents or UDFAs.

It's not a fact that we draft well. It's an opinion, and having more of your own drafted players on your roster proves nothing unless those players are good. Again, quality over quantity. As of now, we've had 3 straight losing seasons, at least partially due to draft flops (Ogbuehi, Fisher, Ross, etc). Having players like that and players at the bottom of the roster contributing to those losing seasons somehow proves we're good at drafting? 

Sorry, that's Mike Brown logic. Overall, I'm a Tobin fan, but feel an expanded scouting department could only help our cause.
