Attaochu was debated on here by me to be the 2nd rd pick. He probably isn't as well rounded do everything guy like Van Noy is. Regardless it was a mayhew 2nd rd pick so whoever we picked was going to be injured. Curse of mayhew lives on.

im not gonna lie....I probably would have freaked the fuck out if Cooks was the 1st rd pick lol. The "offensive weapon" discussion we had already. But if it included ANOTHER slot receiver it probably would have put me over the edge lol. That being said Cooks is a stud and will outproduce the shit out of Ebron. So it goes against the production argument I always like to make....he wouldn't produce like that here though....hed be playing behind Tate in most of Lombardis sets.

I mentioned months ago that i thought Cooks was the most polished WR of the 2014 draft.

Anyone want to explain to me how this was a good draft? Oh wait....were a 7 win team and we drafted for the future? lmao. So far this draft has PRODUCED 3 catches, 3 missed FGs, 3 splinters on their asses from sitting on the bench so much, and 3 guys with serious injuries. Mayhew strikes again....

1 10(10) E. Ebron TE North Carolina
2 8(40) K. Van Noy - Brigham Young
3 12(76) T. Swanson - Arkansas
4 33(133) N. Lawson - Utah State
4 36(136) L. Webster DE Bloomsburg
5 18(158) C. Reid DT Princeton
6 13(189) T. Jones WR Notre Dame
7 14(229) N. Freese - Boston College

One last time....when you cant improve your team via draft you will never be a good team....ever.

Genius on your part, buddy. Blaming Mayhew for injuries like he had a crystal ball in his hand. lol. You sir, are a gem lol.

Ebron and Van Noy were supposed to be immediate impact players from day 1. Ebron WILL get better and you can't predict injuries to Van Noy. If you could, you fucking gomer, he would not have been drafted. Why is that so fucking hard for you to understand?
Swanson was drafted to replace Raiola. Meh pick ...wait and see.
Webster is a project with insane measurables. I'm assuming he plays STs and is good depth.
Reid is depth also who has had a great camp. Another project.
TJ Jones was a productive WR at Notre Dame. Injuries are hurting him
Freese sucks. Who knew he was this bad? Gotta go IMO.

Overall not a bad draft. Of course you bash it after 2 frickin games lol. You need to chill the fuck out

 

[LKP]

Our team doesn't need to rely on rookies.

Ebron is looking good though. Reid plays some in the rotation. Three injuries.

Swanson is depth. You'd be bitching if we didn't have depth if a guard or center gets hurt.

Freese sucks. Get a new kicker.

van noy is the only "impact" player that was drafted....and he isn't impacting anything right now.

A 3rd TE you don't even target in the top 10 is not impactful

a back up center...is not impactful

weve debated how shitty mid round corners are for a decade

Jones was nothing and is always going to be nothing in this offense. Broyles doesn't even dress. Jones wouldn't even see the field before Broyles. Therefor we drafted a back up to the inactives...yay.

Van Noy was the only impactful player?? Says who?? YOU?! lol. Ebron will get his looks and it increased from game 1 with the Giants. Don't have to be targeted 10x a game to be useful anyways. Patience.

I already explained the Swanson pick. You obviously don't get it lol.

Lawson played well against Cruz on the Monday nighter. I don't think he was going to be shit at all.

Jones was a 6th rd pick. You're complaining about a 6th rd pick? Of course you are. Why wouldn't you? lol. Classic...

Not complaining about a 6th rd pick....im debating the stupid shit you said about the 6th rd pick. He was goid at notre dame for like 4 games. ...hes awesome! Blah blah blah something else homerish blah blah blah.

 

[biggunsbob]

Maybe next year we will Draft secondary dudes.....lol

 

[LKP]

In hindsight I'd go
Ebron
Van Noy
Swanson

And not jump the gun on judging any player.

In the early rounds nope, no chance. If he hasn't by now..why would he change?

Hindsight draft...try desperately to trade down and grab Fuller or Roby

Hindsight draft...try desperately to trade down and grab Fuller or Roby

I have to say Fuller and Slay would make me feel a hell of a lot better about our corners.

 

[dubbsco]

Uhh yeah, seeing as how Fuller already has two picks and has been named NFC D player of the week as a rookie. Who wants that? We needed a 3rd TE.

 

[LKP]

Long year still for Fuller. Good Week 2, not good week 1.

I said he's awesome???? Lol. I said he was productive at ND and he was. I don't give a flying fuck about a 6th rd pick.

2012 - 50 rec, 649 yds, 4 TDs

2013 - 70 rec, 1,108 yds, 9 TDs

Jones' numbers at ND. Yep, 4 games good, you fucking retard. You look like an idiot again lmfao.

For the record, i expect nothing from the kid this year. He's a project but saying he was only good for 4 games further proves how fucking dumb you really are lol ..you're a tool.

im dumb? youre the one parading on and on about a 6th round rookie that is on the PUP and even if he wasn't on the pup hed either be inactive or on the PS....yippie.

 

[Mitchrapp]

You always say the same, don't care about a 6th round pick, don't care about a 5th round pick or 7th round pick. All bullshit..

If it's a decent late round pick it's Mayhew doing well but if not it's who cares .. why even draft after round 4. You're such a doofus.
