How bad can a draft be for a team that wins 2 of the next 3 Superbowls? 1-29 Dominique Easley, DT. - A very highly rated pass rusher who had torn both ACL's in college. He played a bit as a sub pass rusher for the Patriots, but rarely many snaps, and ended his first two years on IR. Dumped and currently a useful sub for the Rams. D 2-62 Jimmy Garoppolo, QB - A backup quarterback who failed at the one job he was given, holding down the fort for 4 games to start this season. He's looked okay, and will probably be traded for some draft pick this year, but, for comparison's sake, he was drafted right between Allen Robinson and Jarvis Landry. Maybe he's secretly a franchise QB, but I have severe doubts. C 4-105 Bryan Stork, C - An okay center who got concussed and promptly lost his job to a different okay center. Never recovered from that and is out of the league. D 4-130 James White, RB - A bit of a revelation this year as he morphed into more of the Kevin Faulk / Shane Vereen back he was drafted as. He was a bit of a scapegoat his first two years, but he's turned into a very solid contributor who just won a superbowl, so uh. A 4-140 Cameron Fleming, T - A backup tackle who's played a healthy amount and can't block anything. Often played as a 6th lineman, where he is horrific in pass protection. Just a god awful player. F 6-179 Jon Halapio, OL - I have no idea who this is and he never made it out of training camp F 6-198 Zach Moore, DE - Played one year as a sub, had a forced fumble, played some ST. Got cut and bounced around the league. That's fine for a 6th. C+ 6-206 - Jemea Thomas CB - Didn't make it out of training camp, bounced around the league on practice squads the last three years. D 7-244 - Jeremy Gallon, WR - Didn't make it out of training camp, appears to have spent some time in the CFL // Arena leagues. F This was a very bad draft that produced few football players and will end up with a decent receiving back and a backup that'll be traded for some picks 4 years later then when a 2nd was spent on him.

seiferguy posted:It's funny to talk about how Seattle drafts "so well" especially in the late rounds, but man the 2013 and 2014 drafts didn't produce anything good. 2015 is looking to be slightly better (depending how you look at the Jimmy Graham acquisition). It's just offset that their 2010 and 2012 drafts were so drat good. I think it's because nobody has more then a short period of great drafting and your reputation comes into play like 2-3 years after the fact when those players start peaking. Like Belichick had a few excellent drafts from like '01-'05, then had that reputation for years despite drafting terribly for the next few years, then had lost that rep by the time he drafted guys like Gronk and McCourty then regained it just as he had a few lousy drafts again like this one.

DariusLikewise posted:I'd love to see Tavon Austin on a team that uses him as an actual receiver, but that will never happen because the Rams paid him a mountain of money to get old and slow while running end arounds. Tavon Austin will definitely retire with the most horizontal yards in NFL history.

Febreeze posted:Was he really that bad this past season? What happened? He was supposed to come back healthy and be the missing piece that made that offense go. Instead all their tackles died and he seemed.... good, but not amazing. Granted I didn't exactly watch many Panthers games, so maybe he's way worse then his 54% catch rate for 950 yards and 7 TD's seems. You know, he's pretty close to what Alshon Jeffery did last year actually Benjamin: 117 passes, 54% catch rate, 950 yards, 7 TD's Alshon: 94 passes, 55% catch rate, 810 yards, 2 TD's. oh wait, this one's funnier: Mike Wallace: 115 passes, 63% catch rate, 1015 yards, 4 TD's. Or poor DeAndre Hopkins, showing just how badly QB's affect receiver stats: Hopkins: 152 passes, 51% catch rate, 954 yards, 4 TD's .... and the most Rams line possible Tavon Austin: 106 passes, 59% catch rate, 509 yards, 3 TD's.
