Then fans want to say with certainty Knight would have been there in round 3 or 4. He was rated the 3rd to 5th best LB in the class, no way he gets to 4 and Martin was taken at 75 prior to our pick 81 so likely we would have missed Golden's LB if we rolled the dice.
They would honestly do better if they just stuck to the big board. It still would have netted us Burrow, Chase and Tee. And then we wouldn’t have drafted bust after bust after bust. You can’t honestly think we are a franchise that drafts well? The lions have been drafting better than us. The Steelers and ravens always draft better than us. It’s why they’re always fighting for the division.
Fans on this board are blinded when they think about the Super Bowl team. That was ages ago and we don’t even have the same team. And we had a lot of luck in that post season. But I’ll say that’s true for all SB teams, it takes some luck.
We’re no where near a SB team and we’re probably missing the playoffs again.
