No, it implies that the Draft is still a hit and miss affair where every team will make bad picks and regularly.
DW seems to think the other 31 teams never make bad picks, and we're the only ones who do (I seem to remember a quote from him about the Dolphins FO giving us a lesson in Drafting right before they went 1-15 - always makes me chuckle).
What??
With all due respect, no you have me confused with another poster Britt. I am 180 degrees from that. I am the one who has been preaching let's not go crazy thinking four choices in the top 53 in this Draft turn this Team around. Statistics say maybe two of our eight choices will become contributing valuable full time starters, key transitional or situational players (kickers , punters etc) or become Pro Bowl type players. Only 47% of all top ten Draftees every year actually make at least one Pro Bowl.
We need more than just draft choices and I am of the camp that if a proven NFL player can be had as a reasonable Trade, if the financials work and if the give-up is fair, I would rather the Trade to help my Team right now, not a "definite maybe" which is what a Draft choice is with a success rate over a three year period of time, and that being 18%.
Think of Players as in these trades or FAs such as Moss, Vrabel, Welker, Corey Dillon, Harrison and to a lesser extent Andruzzi, Fauria, David Patten, Colvin, AD (SOMETIMES), Caldwell, Antoine Smith, Keith Traylor and more.
My theory and (IMO) I trade my #22 pick for Brandon Marshall or DE/OLB Ray Edwards in a second because at that pick and down there is no one on the board any better and these guys are young and the bonus,.... NFL experience. Do I want to take a 21 year old kid like Dez Bryant and Draft him over a WR with top five NFL talent like Marshall knowing Moss could leave after 2010a nd Bryant could seamlessly be the #1 WR? Marshal has baggage, yet so does Bryant, BUT Posters would scream if at #22 Bryant slips down there and we do not Draft him. Yes Marshall will cost , but your buying NFL experience if you look at it that way.
Dolphins? I do not ever recall praising the Dolphins FO for their Draft patterns in 1-15 years or in 2008 when they won the AFC East.
Sorry, It wasn't I Cousin.
Last year or Draft went fairly well. We'll know in three years just how well. The few years before that our Drafts were pretty bad. We all admit that.
