Pete Hunter also got a lot of picks, too.
He basically played the equivalent of Texas High School football - how can you rank him against guys who played big Conference ball who are proven against high levels of competition. He was taken at least a round early and probably two rounds early.
We're just trying to outsmart the league again which Jerry loves to do. Jason is supposed to be his stopper. He didn't stop Jerry here so Garrett fails. I barely even care how good of a player he is because I think the strategy is all wrong. These little school guys need to be taken later. You'd think they'd have learned from our last 2 fourth rounders who have floundered - AOA (out of the league) and Arkin (not a consideration to play last year when we had Nagy from the 7th round and Kowalski as a UDFA out there playing).
AbeBeta;4536747 said:Another way to look at it is that we took a guy who can contribute immediately on ST while he learns the D.
I do think this is a player who would have been rated higher if he wasn't coming off surgery
If I have any problem with the pick it is that he plays in a crap conference. The competition is atrocious

Being fans of a team who starting QB and WR were undrafted I would think everyone would do their best to find out as much about the kid before commenting, then get on board and wish him the best because your Cowboys fan. I have never spit hate over a draft pick.

Eskimo;4536881 said:And just like Beriault he probably won't make it through PS in one piece. This guy was falling apart at EWU. Again we ignore injury history on a player and again we draft a nobody from nowhere U when big, proven talent is still available.
Jerry is just trying to prove he is smarter than the rest of the league again.

Eskimo;4536839 said:I don't think any of us hate the kid and we'll cheer for him.
We hate Jerry for drafting him in the 4th instead of the 7th round.
FiveTime;4536900 said:Do we forget that we are not privy to the information of the scouting department? I'm pretty sure that they are far more qualified than anyone on this board that believes they could do better. This is not an exact science...every team has its hits and misses. Whatever your career is I'm sure you have failed at some point. We can't judge this pick a success or failure until it plays out.

Bull209;4536912 said:Sorry, but we've watched his roster crumble because of picks like this. They don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore. Will be SHOCKED if this dude is anymore than a practice squad player, much less even a bad bottom of the roster type.

Because the Pats are the most successful franchise of the last decade? Maybe?Chuck 54;4536929 said:If you get the player you want and value, what difference does the round make? Why is NE okay taking Tavon freaking Wilson so early with all the higher rated safeties on the board, but Seattle is lampooned for taking Bruce Irvin in round 1 and we suck for taking this kid when he's the guy we wanted in this round?
