Well as I said in my original post – SO FAR the draft class has been disappointing, and it has been, the only player that has done anything noteworthy in 3 preseason games is Garopollo, the other 7 have either been OK, poor, or not played due to injury.
Tom Brady had as a sixth round draft grade; his stock was on the rise predraft – no, he was not a poor pick. It is ironic that you mention Brady a sixth round pick in the same thread were you have been advocating that we should be OK with sixth round picks not doing well and not be disappointed if they do not.
I have no idea what your expectations were but when the first pick is a player coming off a torn ACL, the second player is a QB, several lower OL are taken and a RB who has Ridley/Vereen on the roster, I didn't expect a lot by this time. This looked like a future draft to me. At the time Cannon, Vereen, Ridley, Mallett were headed into contract years, Mankins into a virtual contract year.
Do you know what – SO FAR means? I am assessing the draft class as of today 8/27/2014, and it has been disappointing up until now. If you disagree with that, I do not know what to tell you.
We should have a webinar comprehension workshop for this board; this is painful, how hard is it to understand “So Far”.
No it was frustration, that nobody reads posts, they just pick out things they can argue about and latch onto it.
So far, the draft class hasn't had an NFL game to play.
His stock was rising. Please show me how you know this. Its a made up statement. He was drafted 199th. He almost didn't get drafted.
I am well aware of what "so far" means, thank you very much. However if you have expectations for the draft to help later in the year (Easley), next year (White, OL) and even later (Garrapolo) then calling it disappointing so far before the year has even begun isn't appropriate.
I can still be disappointed in the picks. I have 0.0000000000001% chance of winning the lottery but I am still disappointed if I lose.
We should also have a webinar about not crying about every post that disagrees with yours.
But who the hell cares about "so far". So far isn't even one game in, or even the whole pre season in. Why sit here and judge this draft class when they haven't even played one actual real NFL snap yet? It's impossible to say if it was good or bad yet. There is no so far. We are at point 0. Right now you are only embarassing yourself with your complaining.
These players haven't played a single game yet, and you calling them a loss?
If you are going to make stupid comments that make zero sense, I am not going to talk to you anymore about this. 2023 has not happen; the 2014 draft class has completed OTA, Training Camp and 75% of the Preseason. If you do not have a rebuttal just move along do not waste my time with nonsense like this.
Emphasis on the arrow point UP.
Seriously someone needs to tell Belichick he should not have cut Thomas, we do not assess draft choices until they play at least one meaningful game.
JB right now as we speak Belichick is assessing the 2014 draft class deciding if they are good enough to make the team, he already assessed Thomas and determined he was not good enough. If Belichick is doing it I have to believe it is useful.
They are the same thing. These players have not taken the field yet.
You are joking right?
Considering that it is very likely that Mars once had an an Oxygen rich atmosphere and liquid water on the surface, there is a decent chance that some microbial life that still exists below the surface.
