The only thing that matters is you have "The Guy". 3rd overall, Mr Irrelevant, 3rd rounder, whatever. If you have him then you have him.
100% this.
It's like people who b***h about first round whiffs but then conveniently forget we got the likes of Kittle in the 5th round.
Every single regime fails at certain picks. The key is to hit on enough of them, whether that be first round, 5th round, Mr Irrelevant, whatever.
It's because Mr Irrelevants and 5th round picks are more like gambles. They are players that our FO didn't think would be what they are and didn't mind missing out on. We've made a living off gambling so far, but that's not reliable.
The trade ups for Kyles "must have" guys like Lance, Pettis, Joe Williams, Beathard along with whiffing so much in the first is definitely concerning
Ya definitely concerning. We only have one of the best rosters in the league.
Getting lucky on 5th rounders and the last pick is f**king awesome, but like I said I don't see it as sustainable. I think they need to start hitting more on their 1st rounders and guys they really want and trade up for (Pettis, Joe Williams, etc) because our late round luck could easily run out
I think we hit too often on R4+ picks for it to be purely luck. If anything I think our early rounders have been a little too reach for need at times rather than BPA.
The later in the draft, the more luck is involved. These are guys that have been passed on multiple times at that point.
It's even more evident by their misses in the 1st and on their trade ups. If they were really that good, they wouldn't whiff so damn bad on those
The entire draft is luck. Every team in the league would have drafted Solomon Thomas in the top ten. Guess what, some guys just don't live up to their potential. The fact we've consistently got good players throughout the draft, and built one of the best rosters in the league, tells me this FO and coaching is among the best in the league. For f**k's sake, the criticism is completely unfounded. Whiny ass fanbase full of armchair geniuses who would've made all the right moves in retrospect.
