Generational Draft Picks

[SeasonsMusic]

Only this team would manage to make generational trades to acquire ample amount of draft picks over the last two years, just to completely blow 9 picks in the first 2 rounds that could have made us contenders.

I’m just over every single aspect of supporting this team, just no care to watch any of it.

So many coaches and regimes want to recreate the Herschell Walker trade that supposedly "made" the 90s Cowboys. Well the part they miss in that all is that the Cowboys were just really good at finding talented players all over the place, and that the trade would have meant nothing if the Cowboys didn't know how to get the right players with those picks, or find the right players from other resources they had.

Ross absolutely ****ed this team letting Grier and Flo build this team with all that draft capital. Amazing how many misses we managed. We are officially the biggest joke of a franchise over the past 20 years. Browns are a Playoff team now, Jags are trash but they made an AFC Championship game recently. We have nothing of note.

I was wrong. Should’ve stayed at 3 and taken Chase. He is a beast.

The term "generational"makes me laugh.
Right now if a player makes it 3 years on this team, it would be remarkable.

Maybe the Lions are worse although they've had four winning seasons in the last 10 years. I believe we've only had two (2016/2020)

Eh. Chase has played well, but I credit a ton of his success so far to Burrow forcing him 50/50 balls all game. I’d point out they lost the game (ignoring the missed FGs) because Burrow threw at least one of his picks on a 50/50 ball to Chase he should have never made. Set up a Packers score.

My point here is that Miami could do the same thing with Waddle if we were willing to let our QB make aggressive throws. We play to not lose. Other teams take the ugly stuff that comes every once in a while with the really great stuff.

Good franchises can miss on occasional picks because they are so good at identifying talent with the resources they have. But not only are the Dolphins not successful on using the high draft picks they acquire, I can't think of much late round gold we've gotten.

But I look at the number of offensive lineman we've drafted, for instance, and I don't see many we've hit on. The funny thing is that the one we definitely hit on -- Tunsil -- was the one that garnered all of the picks that so far have not panned out.

Well chase is a 50/50 WR, that's not waddles game, look at their highlights in college and in the NFL. Waddle was supposed to be a better for whatever offense this is supposed to be. But there weren't many people who didn't have Chase as the #1 WR Prospect and many referred to him as one of the best WR prospects to come out in a long time.

Chase has played well, but his success has largely come from Burrow getting him the ball when he’s open. The Bengals staff has done a good job getting him 1v1
matchups. Burrow has done a good job extending the play long enough for Chase to break containment and be wide open. His 70 yard TD today was honestly the result of a terrible choice by a Packers DB to go for an aggressive pick. Again, Chase has played well. Good play calling and a good QB are a huge part of his early success though.
