Asiata will be a really good one, he was my fave guard coming in, to get him in the 5th is tunsil like luck, thankfully because without that luck tanny would have been getting wrecked again, they waited way too long to address it in this draft considering how long they have let tanny get run over without trying to help him. I wouldn't have minded seeing us trade future 4ths or 3rds and our 7th to pick up elder and king, would have really helped this year as those positions are lacking pretty bad as starters and those were extremely valuable late round picks. I gave it a f grade after the 3rd round, now i'd give it a c considering how deep of a draft it was, how many amazing prospects fell so far, and our refusal to even look at offered trades back when that was what we needed most.
Despite not trading future picks to pick up elder and king which would have made this a b for me, i really liked the draft post round 3, asiata was the steal of the draft imo, at least for us, and doubling down on good dts in the 5th and 6th was really smart considering they will both learn from suh(their fave player) and how thin our dline was, which went from thin to thick from last year to this. This lets them either go either way with jordan based on his production. Was def not a fan of the first round pick especially because of the refusal to look at trade offers and still undecided on the third rounder, however the rest of the picks were good to great(asiata). So those two picks and the refusal to look at trade down offers nets it a c for me.
I'm all for being a fan of the team, but people need to be realistic about all the moves and not just cheer everything that happens regardless, that is what kept sparano and philbin employed for so long, almost everybody cheered/ were positive about both of those for a long time despite how bad things obviously were. Just saying be realistic, that way you don't set yourself up for big dissapointment or are too suprised if things go bad/good, look at everybody pick/move seperately and judge them accordingly, doing that will make you the happiest as a fan and won't get you miserable if things go philbin. Trust me, I'm a red sox fan, if you are too fanatical about things that are out of your control, it can really mess you up, remember, it's just a team to be a fan of, it shouldn't affect you a great deal in your life.
Good bait and switch there. I wasn't happy with it until today, but now I'm extremely happy with it.
