The way this team has drafted the last few years does it matter?

We can get a Taco at any spot in the draft.

Who cares about draft positioning. There's so many Claibornes and Tacos and we'll draft them. Lol, or maybe we'll draft a guy who is a distraction every year and his dad collects endangered species from Africa. Now that's a drafting accomplishment right there.

Again with the personal attacks.

Please, show me where I personally attacked you, or was being an "idiot". I said you were wrong. And that you shouldn't speak in absolutes when you don't know what you're talking about. Which you clearly didn't.

There was nothing in that post that wasn't absolutely true. I'm sorry that triggered you.

I am done responding to you after this. You could have left that last part off. I guess you didn't read all of my comments or chose to ignore them.

With all the players out there, why are there so few diamonds or are teams missing opportunities with great players on small college teams?

Finishing 8-8 vs 7-9, how many spots did this win cost us? 4-5? I know there will be a few teams tied at 8-8 and 7-9, but this meaningless win cost us position in the draft.

we had to play to win looking at the 3rd qtr alone the eagles were tie and only up one score later until it got out of control it was for the division had the eagles lost..by the time we knew the eagles results we were up 3 scores..you dont play to lose, sorry... if we already knew this was meaningless maybe you start rush, Jarwin and pollard and pull few defenders but would we have still lost, I doubt it.. you cant sit everyone and for sure you dont tank on purpose..

this is ridiculous man, it was win and thats it.. it cost us nothing as we dont know who we are picking and how they turn out..pick smart get the BPA with needs in mind and that could be great regardless of few spots..

Win for what? Only to be humiliated next week in the first round of the playoffs by a team with competent coaching? Certainly you're not suggesting the Cowboys with the most incompetent coaching staff, and most over rated roster in the league, could actually go deep in the playoffs?
Now if it's important that Jerry get one playoff game to make a little more money, yeah then that's important. Personally I'd rather see him exposed and not profit monetarily, and us not get behind in the new HC search. If you don't think there's any difference in the 12th player drafted and the 17th player, I'd suggest you go back and study the draft.

So what.

Teams miss on players all the time and players fall because of it. As long as the team is prepared for the draft they are fine. The whole point is to win the games you play.

To underline your point..

just consider Hill this year, Wolf Hunter the year before and Taco the year before.

So there are no guarantees this team knows what to do with a good draft pick.

Picks in the middle of the draft 1st rd. are all about equal. Not to mention the number of trades made in picks 10-20 by teams wanting to move.

Let's see what new coaches are looking for..hmm?
