This Team is NOT Drafting Well

[ClappingCarrot]

All off-season, and even into the pre-season, Stephen Jones was giving us his classic lip service about well we're drafting, and thus not having a need to spend big in FA.

Well folks, the proof is in the pudding. Could you imagine how bad this would look if we didn't have the omniscient evaluator of talent, Will McClay?

This is poor drafting, though the jury could still be out on a few of these guys, albeit if they're ever available.

Oof.

A number of 1st/2nd round picks were active on Sunday except Trysten Hill


What grade would you give defensive drafting under Garrett (2011-16)?


OP welcome to the negative nancy club.

It probably be easier to tell us what their doing well at all?

 

[Silly]

I wish they would stop with the wildcat 2nd round baloney and just draft hard fighting soldiers.

Names like Bruce Carter, Mo Claiborne, BW Webb, and Charles Tapper come to mind

Gotta blame Rod Marenelli for those DL picks. He’s a terrible at evaluating

And yet he continued to be an influence on draft day. I mean how many busts does it take for Jerry to finally say shut up old man we don’t care who you like.

This hill pick was the nail in coffin. I want this entire staff gone

And living in the Pittsburgh market I get to watch TJ Watt every week. Damn what that guy could do for our defense. And he could have been ours. Of course in our crappy antiquated scheme he’d probably be a non factor.

Youll

you still have homer Cowboys fans saying “ but he’s a LB”. He’s the same size as Gregory and is a pash rusher can would’ve been our RDE for 10 years.

Dallas has gotten quite a pass for their drafting.

Does he have a boss? Or 4?

 

[BigD5]

I would add that the 2016 draft was terrible also.

Could’ve had whatever defensive player you liked in the 1st rd and taken Derrick Henry in the 2nd. Instead you got a quickly declining overpaid RB who stays in trouble and doesn’t show up for big games and a one legged LB who missed the first year and a half and still isn’t very good and got paid with a bad contract

 

[mardwin]

I wonder how that T.J Watt guy has been doing in Pittsburgh since he wasn't good enough to be a fit in this mediocre defensive scheme.

Quickly declining? the guy has almost 1700 scrimmage yards and 12 TDs on a team that’s thrown for 1000 more yards than they normally do. Stays in trouble? What has he done this year?

The boss listened to the coaches input.

Yep. Quickly declining. The lack of burst is obvious watching the games. When is the last time he made a big gain? A 20+ yd run or catch?

He can’t stay on the field. Comes out all the time. Not in shape I guess. No other reason I can think of.

Let’s see he pulled a woman’s top off. He got suspended which we all know about. He held out with two years left on his contract. Held the team hostage. Caused all that preseason drama with Cabo. I’m sure he will find more trouble soon

I'm starting to turn on him myself. He just looks fat and out of shape.

The team has talent.

I'm good with the drafting.

The DC and ST coordinators...need to be fired.
