For the interested...

Recap tweets to follow, unless someone posts a full recap

 

[Alexander]

Stephen Jones basically denied the idea that Jerry Jones is "stepping back". Jerry Jones was "sick" but he had a business commitment.

 

[Alexander]

Stated the WR "need" is overplayed.

The Mincey and McClain selections were early. He should be judged directly on how they work out.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I have nothing against Will McClay, but c'mon, the hype on him is getting a little ridiculous. We've signed two spares and a former Marinelli player.

 

[Fredd]

so, mcclay getting us a Jared?

That is fair. They were obviously targeted.

McClay is da twuth

He is behind only marinelli and Ben bass in career achievement and impact

You doubt that at your peril

I agree. He got the credit for the Laurent Robinson signing, even though there is a natural connection with Norv Turner and Garrett. I think he had a hand in the Selvie pick up. Somehow, some way, there is some connection to UCF players.

 

[AbeBeta]

That is fair. They were obviously targeted.

And those judgements should be appropriately weighted by the cost if the investment.

 

[Vintage]

How do we judge them? They are obviously JAGs at best. The McClain signing seems like taking a cheap flier on someone, sort of like we did with Selvie.

I mean, to be honest, if we get even average play from them, I'm going to be pleasantly surprised.I really.sunny have a room of hope for either, especially McClain

 

[Little Jr]

So when we sign a player. Its not jj. Its not mcclay. Its not jg. Its not marrinelli. Its not stephen jones. Who and the hell is it? Lol no one here wants to give anyone credit.lol

 

[Alexander]

And those judgements should be appropriately weighted by the cost if the investment.

So they were cheap they should be evaluated differently?

Either they fit what we do and can contribute or they cannot. That is what he should be evaluated on.

The cost of investment thing comes into play simply because we probably overpaid due to when they were signed. These were not pluck off the scrap heap in May/June signings that were desperate for jobs.

I think if either are quality role players and depth, I feel McClay did his job. But the rub is if we think they are really more and bypass their positions in the draft. If either are tabbed as starters, then of course, the grading criteria gets harsher.
