Good post, agree 100%. And let’s be honest, one thing that this team really has been good at over the past decade is the NFL DRAFT. Based on their hit rate, I do trust them to make those picks count.
This hit rate? (stolen from @Bobhaze)
Drafting defensive players with premium picks since 2015 has not been good:
- 2015- 1st round- Byron Jones- CB- good player but let go in FA.
- 2015- 2nd round- Randy Gregory- DE- Been a complete waste of a premium draft spot
- 2016- 2nd round Jaylon Smith- LB- has been an overpaid- average at best LB
- 2016- 3rd round Malik Collins- DT- a solid not spectacular player, let go in FA
- 2017- 1st round- Taco Charlton- DE- a complete bust
- 2017- 2nd round- Chidobe Awuzie- CB- been avg at best. Hurt at the moment.
- 2017- 3rd round- Jourdan Lewis- CB- All I can say is meh.
- 2018- 1st round- LVE- LB- Injuries have made him irrelevant
- 2019- (gave up a 1st pick for Amari Cooper)
- 2019- 2nd round- Trysten Hill- DT- Avoiding the bust label by a thread
- I'll add:
- 2020 - Gallimore, Anae, and Robinson can't get on the field. Diggs looks like he'll be good.
Jerry and Stephen screwed the pooch again. I'm not getting my hopes up that they're going to fix it. That would be foolish.
