I'm hoping ZT has planned his work and is working his plan ! Perhaps, I'm hoping there's a method to the madness ? Sample was a reach in a lot of peoples eyes but if Mixon runs for 1,750 it won't seem all that bad.
Agreed. Under Marv we seemed to have annual themes more than any actual identity.

All in all, I like our draft. They seemed to go into it with purpose and direction, and from what I can tell they found what they were looking for. They put great stock into the OL, brought in a TE and RBs that all can block their asses off, and picked up what I consider the best 2nd tier QB in this draft. They spent quality picks on defense, getting stronger up the middle, 2 LBs a DT and a CB.
Evidently, the team saw much of the same holes in the team as many of us around here were all squawking about. I would like to have seen a WR taken somewhere in there, but they did not. Evidently they must think that there is already enough WR talent that is yet to be developed/utilized properly.
I was surprised to not see a WR. Guess our string of WR's in the 6th-7th round was more of a Marv thing.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
