Polk pick and really that entire draft was AWFUL.

Like, catastrophic.

Only Maye redeems it and anyone would have made that pick.

This is why I laugh when people try to tell me Wolf and not Vrabel makes the picks.

Just waiting on Wallace to get cut so we can cleanse the facility with Sage.

And Wolf was the guy brought on to "collaborate."

I think he’s an “implementer”. Meaning, someone else sets vision and parameters, he executes well. You need those people. You just don’t give them full autonomy.

Who would that have been? This was the year that Mayo was the HC. That's when Drake Maye started. I don't think there was anyone else making the ultimate decisions on player personnel that year. There was Groh, but I always thought he was a pro personnel guy.

It was the ghost of BB and his old drafting standards steering Wolf the wrong way.

That’s my point. Wolfe likely ran the show that year because Mayo was clueless. Vrabel comes in, sets vision of players they want, drafts improve.

I certainly hope so. They look to have improved. It's early though.

The futures of the following players are yet to be written: Will Campbell, Kyle Williams, Jared Wilson, Treveyon Henderson.

All 4 could eventually become Pro Bowlers. All 4 could eventually become busts. In the cases of Williams, Treveyon and Campbell, these guys went in the top 70. You MUST hit on these players.

I am hopeful, but I'd be lying if I told you I was confident. All 4 of these guys showed some warts last year.

If I had to guess, Will Campbell will be the big success and the others will struggle more.

All fair and I agree. What I’ll say though is that the 24 draft, you knew none of those players would stick almost immediately.

The fact that we’ve seen flashes from every player you mentioned already makes them better.

I’m hoping for a big year from Hendo. Campbell…I believe they drafted a good NFL G and stuck him at T until proven otherwise. By proven otherwise, I mean he doesn’t fall apart vs elite pass rushers.

Williams is the player you mentioned who that is hardest to evaluate. Because Mcdaniels system has been hard for young WR’s to pick up for literal decades.

Brady and his demanding nature are gone, but all those option routes are still tough. Kid is fast, and has hands.

Mental part…who knows

Wolf followed Bill’s system in 2024 to a tee, that why he failed, Except for Drake. Bill wouldn’t have taken Drake Maye… do we have the BB haters club position correct on this?

Dear Lord. Imagine a world where Bill stayed, traded back, and took a random guard at #14 or something because “I can find a QB in the 5th”. Personnel side of the game passed him by years ago. Look at UNC right now. Disaster.

We get it, eveything Wolf did poorly in 2024 was Bill’s system…. except the one thing that went right in Drake Maye. Sounds legit.

For the record I’m long past Bill being here, I forgot about him and Brady the moment they were gone… I root for the laundry, but then I’m not here blaming the 2024 dumpster fire on him either.
