You can be happy and attack us whiners and be happy with the first 4 picks you got a 3rd string TE and a backup QB.  yippee!   Revel in the fact you got a new guard who might start and a backup defensive tackle!  Weeeee!!!!!!

Meanwhile the rest of the division is crushing it.

It's fun to be a media pundit, get a lot of attention for "hot takes", pretend to know football and call out NFL talent evaluators, all while having no risk of losing a job.


Probably just as much fun to get on a message board and critique your team, as if you have as much knowledge to build an NFL team and especially assess talent. Practically no risk there too. Probably the same applies for "homers" to critique the "flakes."

Guess, who actually has a risk of losing a job? Yeah, it's the guys making the picks. So, give them a little leeway when they're staking their jobs and reputation on the line.

Of course, the last line doesn't apply to Mike Brown or his family, as they never have to put their jobs or non-existent positive reputation on the line.

So, don't take the draft too seriously.
