If you look at the lat 3 drafts there have been way more hits than misses and Jerry had to be talked into drafting Escobar by Garrett and ignored when Garret was wanting to Eifert.
That's a tough one.
You already have 4 consistent contributors from this draft without Lawrence and sorry, but the jury is still out on him.
I agree the drafting history is a comedy of errors but I am trying to look at it from a team and coaching point of view. I think most everyone agrees that every player on the roster should have to compete for their position. With that in mind I am making a pitch that once the draft is over and training begins, the position a player was drafted is a moot point. If as an example Hitchens was drafted too high but he is competition favorably in the position he was drafted for then hip hip hooray. We can be happy about or we can remain sad he was drafted too high. Same is true of every other position. As stated earlier is is a pragmatic thing for me once the player is on the squad. The only thing I am interested in is how they are producing. Having said that I really don't expect everyone to see it the same way. It just my point of view.
Again, I think thats a fair statement if you have a solid front office and have a history of finding talent everyone else overlooks.
FIFY.
It's amazing how much better this team gets when you don't let Garrett do things (like call plays and draft TEs).
I wonder what it would take for him to be better than Lawrence? Oh yeah, that would be like anything at all.
Or maybe he's just slow and he's going to be at best a warm body LDE like Mincey in this league.I wonder what it would take for him to be better than Lawrence? Oh yeah, that would be like anything at all.
Sure and steady Ealy is going to improve. He has the size and tools to do it and it will just take time.
As in, time actually spent on the field.
Could be. Don't really care anymore. We need just Lawrence to be everything Jerry's scouts told him he is instead of an undersized and injured bitch.
