They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

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.

I agree with most of this but that's probably unfair to Bryan Stork. The guy saved that line when he was inserted as a starter early in the 2014 season. There's no way they win the Super Bowl without him. For a 4th that's worth a lot more than a D. I mean he was instrumental in helping them win a Lombardi and gets the same grade as a first round pick who basically red shirted his entire career with the team? Stork should get at least a B.
