Now, that's just crazy talk.

carpenter will be good...give him time and opportunity...hatcher is going to be a monster when its all said and done...green i dont know about...fasano...if witten ever goes down he will step right in...hoyte is going to be good one day...hurd will be good...what are you talking about?

 

[acheman]

Anyone in particlar or just our entire draft? I could see Fasano not being a starter if Hannam had not had the swelling in the knee, or if we still had a healthy Dan Campbell. In essence had we had someone better in front of him he would have been riding the pine or a wasted pick. That sounds too similar to a certain 1st rounder everyone keeps complaining about.

We gave a third rounder for a guy who has made minor contributions, but is now hurt.

Our 7th rounder is on IR. Could you be more specific in who you are targeting.

Unbelievable. Some people should think before they talk.

All I can say is Bradie James...many on this board called him a bust. Now after three years in the league he is one of the best LB's...just my opinion.

Burnett...some say the same thing, however when he's in there he makes plays.

Carp...he will make an impact within the next year or two and we will all be changing our tune...give the rooks time.

With as badly as we've failed in previous drafts, whiffing on players like Ware, Newman and Roy and missing out on Merriman, Polamalu, and Tom Brady, we need this 2006 draft, bad.

We took Mario Edwards instead of Tom Brady. I can't even think how bad we failed that pick, just thinking about it gives me gas....

Our picks have failed already .......? The critics are a little premature don't you think?

It's pretty commonly accepted that draft classes can't be judged until a few years down the road.

Admittedly this one isn't off to a great start, but it is the START ....... and we do have 3 guys that are currently regular contributors from this draft class.

Seriously....we're going to be rueing Canty over Cole for years to come.

Every other team in the NFL failed on that one - your hindsight review doesn't carry much weight.

Staut can't detect sarcasm?? Who woulda thunk... Seeing as we had this exact conversation a couple days ago.

I bet he comes back and says, wait... uh... i was being sarcastic too. You're the one who didn't catch it.

Sorry, missed it. Please accept my apology.

Sorry, missed it. Please accept my apology.

No need, it would be sad if I actually believed that...

Tom Brady's own mother was surprised he made an NFL roster so don't give me that, he was taken in the 6th round of the 2000 draft with absolutely zero fanfare.

Don't YOU give ME that. I watch college football, scouting college players is a hobby of mine that I picked up from some scout friends I meet up with to drink spritzers with periodically. I had Brady graded as the #1 prospect that year. I've received letters from 31 GMs requesting my services, but my career in the Civil Engineering industry is far more compelling. I had to turn them down.
