Teams mostly likely to bungle the draft

[Bigdog]

I just read an article on Sportsnaut by Jesse Reed of teams he thinks will screw up next weeks draft. The Cowboys were not one of them but their were two NFCE teams. The Giants and Skins were named. Others were the Bucs, Jets, Saints, and Jags. Said the Giants have built their team mostly thru FA and not the draft. Just FYI.

The Browns without question.

The Browns without question.

Well, they won't screw up their first pick, that's for sure. Don't believe the BS that they are taking anyone other than Garrett.

With as many pick as they have... it'd have to be intentional lol

It's hard to believe the teams (giants and eagles come to mind) that would be content with winning a super bowl with free agent rentals rather than instead of improving your scouts and talent evaluators and build a team the correct way which is the draft and SELECTIVE free agent signings, not churn 40% of your roster every off season just hoping to find a genie in a bottle. To me it would be much more satisfying know you won with mostly home grown talent.

Maybe not, but I won't be at all surprised when they hand the Patriots a 1st round pick for Jimmy freakin' Garropolo, and then have to turn around and give an unproven player a huge contract on top of it.

If they do that, and the Super Bowl Champs get a top 15 pick - and get richer - there's nothing else that the Browns could do for their draft to not be a failure.

Bungling the draft usually means trading away picks or making some ridiculous trade up in the first round.

Outside of that, there's not a real bungling of a draft, just a HC's inability to create an environment that develops players.

I hope he's right, but I don't know. I thought NY was on the verge of use it or lose it when they bought their defense. Too bad for them this draft is very weak on Olineman & very deep on what we need. Hopefully we'll overcome that 4 point deficit after it's all said & done.

Man, after Dave Gettleman's draft last year, I will have to say he might have to be put on that list. After the Panthers let Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware literally win the Super Bowl for Denver, he totally ignored the OL. He drafted Vernon Butler, a stud DT, but they were/are already stacked at the position, in the 1st (1/31). THEN he drafted 3 CBs in a row!!! Pitiful! The Panthers went from 15-1 to 6-10 and are picking @ 8 this year. Keep your eyes on him. He screwed up royally and it looks like it's going to take some time to recover. To be honest, if I were the Cowboys, I'd look to sign Star Lotulelei after this year. He could be our 1 tech and is a beast. He's on his 5th year option and they signed Kawann Short to an $80 million deal. Butler is pretty much Star's replacement so it would open up an opportunity for Dallas to get a stud 1 tech. Just saying.

The two super bowl winning teams that were most comprised of FAs since realignment were the 2007 and 2011 Giants.

At least that was the statistic back in 2014, IIRC. Denver may have topped that since.

Mostly true, yeah.

I get kind of annoyed when you read draft recaps and Pundit X says “but they didn’t address _____”

Because that’s the definition of drafting for need which the consensus views as a mistake.

75% of the Eagles drafted last year stuck with the team. This isn't the Chip Kelly era anymore in Philly.

uh, ok....I wasn't really just talking about the 3 years Kelly was there...teams that rely so much on free agents every year are not good at drafting and that started long before Kelly arrived there. Although Once Kelly got there once he announced that flyswatters will be a part of training camp should have raised a red flag that he was pretty lost.

Early Andy Reid used the draft more. They would have one nice FA signing in the early days, one year got Runyon, one year got Kearse, one year got T.O. When Vick showed up was when they got that rep for a few years, but that wasn't the way the Eagles usually operated. And then Chip Kelly happened, lol.

You're forgetting the years of "the dream team", "unstoppable team", "the dynasty", and several others that I've forgotten.....something different every year exploiting their annual awesomeness they keep telling us.

Chicago...come on down!

Idk, they got there guy. Wouldnt have of they didnt make that trade. Lost about 100 or so points in the value chart

 

[JoeyBoy718]

The Browns without question.

The Browns just murdered the draft. Garrett, Peppers and Njoku in the 1st round. That's insane.

 

[Longboysfan]

The trades are great.
Get the players Browns.

I don't think the niners has any intention on drafting Trubisky. Lynch played them.
