Still dumb to take Zeke at 4 and then a guy who wasn't going to play for a year at 36.That basically seals it that the choice to draft him was a success no matter what way you look at it.

I think the rest of the team thought he was great last seasonStill dumb to take Zeke at 4 and then a guy who wasn't going to play for a year at 36.
In a vacuum it's a fine pick, but relative to....the entire rest of the team, it was dumb.
So? You know who else would have been great last season? Myles Jack, or Deion Jones,. All guys taken in the second round who could have helped in 2016 too, when we had Justin Durant and Andrew Gachkar taking regular snaps.I think the rest of the team thought he was great last season

I know this has been a hot topic for a couple years now. This is the confirmation we’ve been waiting for regarding his NFI to IR rookie season. He did not accrue that season towards FA.
Neither were projected to be the #1 pick in the draft before injury. I really do not see the logic in seeing what Jaylon is now and complaining about then.So?

They made a pick at 4 to win right now, and a pick at 34 to win later. It's dumb logic, and the logic is worse at 34 because you had an old, banged up QB.
He wasn't projected to be the #1 pick, because he wasn't going to play.Neither were projected to be the #1 pick in the draft before injury. I really do not see the logic in seeing what Jaylon is now and complaining about then.
I understand that we are on a forum and debating goes on within the forum therefore some feel as if they must come off as being right all the time....but....Jaylon was definitely projected as the best player in that draft before injury at ND. Again seeing what Jaylon has become....I do not see the logic of complaining now about what happened then simply because we now have the best tandem at LB in the NFL. So logically speaking.....SJ and company were right.He wasn't projected to be the #1 pick, because he wasn't going to play.
I complained about it then, too. It made absolutely 0 sense to draft a guy who wasn't going to play, at a position with 0 depth, on a team with a dominant OL and great but fragile QB.

But now add that you got a franchise QB as a comp 4th round pick......which QB are you talking in that draft from the 4th pick to the 2nd round pick.......Paxton Lynch? You think getting Lynch instead of Zeke or Jaylon was a better move........hahaSo? You know who else would have been great last season? Myles Jack, or Deion Jones,.

Only other player available at our pick that year would have been Ramsey but after 3 years taking Zeke was the correct move......so was taking Jaylon.I don't get criticism of the Zeke pick. He was the best player in the draft and they got him at the fourth pick, and it was a position of need. They got an elite player who was both BPA and a critical need.
exactly let it go people!!!Some people just cannot get happy about the present.
