Jerry just spun taking Frederick in 1st good move since we can give him a five yr contract which you can't in 2nd round. Can't.make.this.up.if.you.tried.

That's common practice since the draft slotting started. It's one reason why teams are more apt to trading back into late 1st for a Qb so they get that extra year to develop.
 
So, even though my Mayock draft was panned, I ended up +104 compared to where I selected and where they were drafted. :tippytoe

Jerry says Travis Frederick, Gavin Escobar and Terrance Williams were all in "early 20s" on their draft board.


No wonder we suck, we can't scout worth shat.

What happened to Franklin, I thought he would go Rd 3 for sure. Could we go O again in 4th?

We're taking a RB come hell or high water in the 4th. You might as well get used to it. We've not only latched onto positions that we need to fill, it's actually specific part time roles that we are drafting to fill now.

4th (1), 5th (2), 6-7 (3), 8th (1)

I don't think we have enough players on our boards.

We only rank like half the players in the draft, the rest are off our boards for some reason or another. And then we inevitably get to the bottom quicker. So of course it's always "He was our best remaining player! He was in the 20's in our ranks!"

Well no shit. Of 90+ players that get selected, you only rank like 40 of them.

So as names you like get selected, fringe players that should have much more space between the current pick and where they should go, all of a sudden jump to the top of your board, cause it's missing players it should have on it.

I am convinced we don't even have a guy like Khaseem Greene or Larry Warford on our board. God knows why.

So we can say "Wilcox was the BPA" and act like we are true to that, when the fact is the only reason he's close to the BPA is because we've misevaluated half the players in the draft and completely taken them out of consideration.

Wilcox isn't a reach. CBS had him as a 3rd rounder and Kiper and Mayock both praise the pick.

He wasnt my first choice, but his pick isn't getting panned like Frederick.
