Look at Mr. Pioli's superb drafts the last 2 years..........NOT!!! This guy is in a MAJOR SLUMP with our draft picks, my friends. It is Bobby Grier-esque!! We better keep trading draft picks away for the Randy Moss's and Wes Welker's of the world, because we will most likely draft STIFFS if we keep the picks!! You can make excuses all you want folks, but these last two drafts are HORRIBLE. Good thing we lost a #1 pick for spygate. Otherwise, we would just draft another guy that will make NO CONTRIBUTION whatsoever for the first 2 years of their career like Chad Jackson. Ugh!!

Can't agree with you here at all. Thomas looks like a special player. Unfortunately he had a setback this year, but so did Watson his first year on the job. Your reactionary bullcrap (oh no this 7th round pick didn't pan out, and this 3rd rounder is on the team but hasn't broken any of Jerry Rice's receiving records yet!) is a little out of control.
And that's about it. No steals. No IMPACT PLAYERS. No nothing. The 1st rd picks have been ordinary and the rest have been garbage, outside of Gostowski. Terrible drafts. Bobby Grier-esque.
National sports advisers, I'm starting to think you wear that same tinfoil hat while your writing these posts that mangini has in the bang cartoons.

Compating to Bobby Grier?? I think the poster is in a slump..NOT even close..this year's draft was not the best..maybe slim pickings considering how loaded this team was...BUT last year?? Look again how many are with the team...wait a few years..and then make your peanut gallery comments.
