2009 draft

[divot]

with the release of Brewster there are even more articles and gnashing of teeth about the lack of success of this draft.
The question I have is: why is everyone so surprised?
I once read about the percentages of players sticking on an nfl roster 2-3 years after they were drafted according to the round they were drafted in

The third round was surprisingly low...in the 30's I beleive and then the percentages dropped from there as the rounds progressed

We had a draft that consisted of 3rd to 7th round picks with the accompanying historical success rates.
Its no wonder there are few survivors on our roster

You can argue the successful teams find those later round gems and I cant disagree....look at the Patriots although havent taken the time to analyze their roster.

Add in the fickle nature of the draft from year to year with regards to quality depth after the first two rounds and its a crap shoot

I can move on if RW keeps up his early production and is essentially our first round pick

lacewell might as well have been in charge.

lacewell might as well have been in charge.

dont even mention his name, still bugs me to this day, that jerry has lacewell back working with the cowboys in some way or another, (after parcells got rid of lacewell pretty quickly) and after lacewells drafts with jerry jones, just killled us after 98 season to 2002,

Isn't Lacewell Jerry's drinking buddy and yesman

To put it easily as i can for you, I for one wanted to bundle the pics and leave teh draft with 3 or 4 players at best and leave well enough alone. My dream once again: crushed.

This is why you trade for players not trade for picks.


Working well for the jets.

We drafted the way we did because Jerry said the roster was set, right? So we were drafting special teams, kinda ironic our special teams sucks.

 

[RS12]

The whole trading down strategy and drafting for depth is a bad one in general. Bill Walsh pulled it off once, and I dont remember anybody else doing it successfully. This draft is headed in the same direction as the 95 stinker.

 

[CATCH17]

Get over it.

09 draft sucked as a whole anyways.
