best pick(s): round one
worst pick(s) round two throught 7
kind of like par for the course for us though
Agree completely. Other than the TE, I don't see any of these guys contributing long term
Really? Are you two serious? None of these players between rounds 2-7 won't be contributing long-term?
Yea, Mays will be out of a job in two years.
Yea, Bowman will be cut because he's a third rounder ILB who played OLB therefore what business do we have takin' him
Yea, Dixon obviously won't fit in since we already have Coffee
Yea, Williams sucks since he's a sixth. Nevermind Morgan's example.
Yea, Bylam as a only a blocking TE, really? What a waste!
Yea, and the dude in the seventh...uh wait, IT'S A SEVENTH ROUND PICK!
You guys are entitled to your opinions, but what short-sightedness. I can see all except maybe the seventh rounder making it on our squad.
Mays will be our future SS whether you like it or not.
Bowman will succeed Spikes and become the sleeper pick of the draft.
Dixon will compete and beat out Coffee eventually as the #2 back.
Williams will compete and may beat out Hill for Slot and back up ST. At min, he replaces Zeigler.
Bylam is a sixth and will be used just for blocking purposes and ST.
So what about the seventh pick.
This is a very good draft especially for depth and finding immediate starters.
Wow, rounds 2-7, really?
I revert back to Vernon Davis as a clear cut example of how a player can succeed under this team's umbrella lead by Iron Mike!
Mays, Bowman, and Dixon will fall in line.
Did you just compare our clas to a top6 pick, a TE no less, who was billed to be an unequivicol talent for his position to a bunch of 3rd tier talents? Mays would have been great....10 years ago. The league has changed, gus have to be able to cover....he can't. Bowman? Really? How many years do we waste a mid-early round pick on a back up ted LB (McKillop?) when that's the least important position on the field and there were FAR better talents at that slot.
How many WRs do we really need in a smash mouth offense where our 3rd WR gets maybe 30 balls all year?
We could have had : Awaksa, Sapp, Hardy, and on to fill actual needs.
Had you ever heard of any of these guys, honestly, before we drafted them?
Another heavy RB. Really? We need a speed guy, nat a 235 guy, great now we have 3 guys who aren't home run hitters.
Go ahead and drink the kool aid, but this draft from need and talent and value perspectve sux balls.
You are entitled to your opinion. That's cool. I understand your points and heavily disagree with them.
The proof will be in the pudding and we won't know until the season. Until then, there is a reason why they chose the players they did. In addition, I disagree that there were FAR better talents than Bowman. They fit the mold, Mays, Bowman, Dixon, and Byham. We got better in depth with players in the sixth who can all contribute in some way to the team for great value.
WTH is wrong with that?
If Kool-Aid is drinking down heavy amounts of successful four and ones, getting talented "football" players for incredible value who "fit" our systems and overall improve the depth of the team, then TX, I will be the first in line.
