His drafting for a good while was Horrid. Among the worst in the NFL if not the worst. He botched completely 2 consecutive drafts 06-07. In 05 he found a guard in the first which is nothing to brag about. Rest of draft was a mudslide. In 08 he found a LB in top 10. Rest of it was a wipeout again. In 09 found a very good RT. When your considered such a genius,more is expected. From 06-08 One Starter. Even when he began taking his scouts advise and drafting better he continued with head scratching decisions any average fan saw it a bust in the making. Jermaine Cunningham, Tavon Wilson.
Everybody is so frustrated with ignoring WR because its a position where one legit addition makes everybody on offense so much better and more effective it would be like adding 3 more great players. It would create more space for every other player on offense and make them each much better players because Tom Brady will take advantage of that better than any other qb. It makes the entire offense incredibly more lethal when that legit feared WR threat takes up so much attention from the defense. Imagine what Gronk could do if there was a feared WR. Vereen would be $$ in the bank all day if there was a wr Taking up every DBs efforts. Dobson paired with Lee,Sanders,Johnson,Richardson, Latimer is lethal and opens things up everywhere. Even more lethal than Moss as these guys run more routes. Moss and Welker were great at what they did but both were limited to what they did. That combination can threaten the entire field at any time. Throw in Gronk and Vereen a supercharged caulk with Brady who can go through progressions like no other QB and who does the defense want to get beaten by on this play. Throw in our better OLine and 2007 couldn't compare. I mean we just need ONE legit feared wr to make it fly. Not a Calvin,just a Lee,Sanders,Johnson or healthy Maclin. And nobody stops this offense. I love the OLine additions BTW. Even Halapio has underrated athleticism. And Fleming at a mobile powerful 6'5 330 could upgrade over aging Mankind. Stork is huge upgrade at center and getting bigger/stronger every day. Halapio and Cannon compete for RG. I like Cannon slightly more. But he should put back on mass he lost b4 rookie season. He was considered a 360lb dancing bear and a crushing drive blocker with minimal effort,it looked easy to him. He was knocked for not looking as if giving top effort. He didn't need to he was so powerful. His power at 330 hasn't been the same and even criticized at times. The team needs to leave him at guard which is his best position and help him put that muscle back on. Perhaps he remained at 325-330 to better play tackle. Would you prefer an allpro guard or an OK RT. Kaczur could have been a decent RG. He was an embarrassment at RT. Had we drafted any of those really good tackles 05-07 to replace Kaczur, we win the championship in 2007. Kaczur was dominated by a declining Strahan. If Strachan isn't knocking down Tom Brady repeatedly we go 19-0. Had we drafted Roos,Whitworth,McNeil,Staley etc. I truly believe we go 19-0. With just one legit semi-feared playmaking WR, IMHO this team is better in every way.
