This is a 2 years from now maybe some of these guys develop draft. We should have moved around and gotten guys that can contribute right away. Instead we traded back to pick guys on our board and players who fell when we should have been moving around to get players that can contribute to this team now. Philly who just won the Super Bowl used this draft to get even better.

Instead of picking up a bunch of cb’s why were these not o-line picks? I’m sorry but the best way to help out your defense is for the offense to be able to stay on the field. We had the worst o-line in the league and we only added a center and LT. NOBODY’s job should be safe on this o-line! If Glenn does go down we are screwed again at tackle. We can’t carry 9 db’s which means we know we are going to cut or add these guys to the practice squad. This should have been the plan for the o-line instead. Bring in as much competition as we can at the biggest need on this team.

Defense would not have been as bad last year if they didn’t have the snap count they did. We didn’t need a running back in the 4th. Mixon, Gio, and Hill are good enough to handle the load. Especially if they were running behind a new o-line that actually knew how to block.

I’m sorry but outside of free agency which I thought they did a nice job and the selection of Price in the first I don’t see how this draft helped make this team better this year or next. We are wasting the talent we have on the team now by not making moves to help this team win now.

Johnson, Williams, LBs, the other CBs.  Positional changes, depth, and salary dumps are probably what those amount to.

I am with you about O-Line.  They probably should've picked another to compete/replace with the bunch.

Hopefully Hubbard isn't insurance for not re-signing Dunlap.  We need to keep Carlos.

People in this thread who aren't seeing the value in replacing the worst positional coach in our area of weakness just aren't being realistic.

If that O-line gets whipped into shape and our RBs are getting proper blocking it'll make a world of difference.

Price should be fine.  It's not like we're taking some 3-4 rounder.  He is intelligent and can read defenses/make line calls/and aggressively block beyond LOS.

Chill people.

It's hilarious that people think they actually know more then people who's entire day is spent going over every player. People still act like every pick is going to be/should be starter. How many years of the draft do we have to have before people realize most of it is complete luck and a crap shoot of who gets randomly hurt, doesnt do well in a scheme, or doesnt respond well to coaching, or the 1000 otger variables that go into a player not panning out.

It’s funny to me people think other team are pulling 5-7 starters every year. Just doesn’t happen. If you get 2-3 and some role players out of a draft that’s a success.

There is a lot of truth in what piano man said about not being able to coach players. With how much the nfl has schrinked the practice time these coaches get it is hard to coach them up. They have to look for guys in the draft that have already learned some technique. One of the commentators that was on ESPN that was a former o-line great for the giants a few years back was talking about it Thursday morning when they were discussing K Miller for UCLA. He said there is no more 2 a days and they don’t get to practice anymore. He said that’s why college guys can be great and it doesn’t translate to the nfl. The coaches don’t have the time they need anymore to teach technique to the players. He said the players have to take it upon themselves in the offseason on their own to try and really learn better technique because the coaches aren’t given the time.
