everybody wanted a pass rusher lol, we got our 50 de's now guys, congrats, let me spell this out for those who can't understand basic math. Branch was given a big contract, now they are paying him to be a 2 down player, and run blocking is not his strength, its pass rushing, so not only did you make his contract doubly worse by not allowing him to actually do what he is decent at, but you wasted a pick on a guy that literally only pass rushes and is a one down player, wake will probably play 2 more years, maybe 3. This guy will be seen on 3rd down for 2-3 more years only, what a gigantic waste of a pick, supposedly they had two trade offers as well, this guy could most likely have been had earlly second as well, what a freaking joke this organization is, "in gase we trust", says all the sheep because we had ONE winning season, did everybody forget sparano so quickly, was obvious he was just a cheerleader who had no substance, yet everybody was like "omg sparano so good", the inevitable collapse for 3 years after was obviously coming, but everybody just gladly ignored it.
Gase might be a smart play caller but almost never showed any agression unless he absolutely had to, and when he did we scored, then he always went back to same old ultra safe nonsense that has plagued this team since cam cameron. Gase has shown me to be a bad decision maker in player judgement, this is a horrible pick from both a logic and potential standpoint, something that might be afforded if we had the luxury of doing such things because we had a complete team already. Everybody keeps saying gase, grier, and tannenbaum work together, then that means he had a say in this. Not only did we draft scared so we can have 50 players at 3 positions and the rest of the team are backups but we didn't take the extremely easy decision to trade down and pick up the extra picks we wasted last year on ANOTHER non need position, this organization's endless stupidity is mind blowing year after year, after year. I'll never stop loving my team but god is it pathetic how many brain dead decisions the people who run it make.
