Why? We aren’t the experts. We don’t get paid to pick players. I o obviously don’t know how this draft will turn out but the last 2 we’re completely trash
Ok

Atila this is by far the best response of any on the board and you nailed it 100%.I don’t mind people being neutral on him - although I don’t necessarily agree.
But to be a FAN of his is strange. He’s been mediocre overall all things considered and really horrible at a few things and great at a few things… and overall, we haven’t been even remotely successful in the 20 years he’s been here and oddly haven’t had better than a mediocre OL that entire time too.
Now I don’t pretend to know **** about the college players but everything I’m reading is none of these players are ready to start right away… ok not the end of the world, I get it I get it… good value spots…
But then a trade up, using next years 3rd for… a running back? I guess another steal but again not something we need, right?
I dunno, I’m just thinking that the last two years have been THE best we’ve been in the last 30 years and so typically when you’re in a window like we are in, we should be getting the best, most contribution ready players possible…. And we haven’t. Of course you must look to the future… but we are Super Bowl competitive ready NOW. Play for right now with these draft picks a bit.
Just my opinion.
Faie enough. I do not think the team currently has enough depth of talent to win a SB, but it is heading in the right direction. I see these developmental high ceiling picks as the faster way to contention vs drafting for readiness and having to accept a lower ceiling or attitude issues or significant injury risks or off the field character questions. There are always trade offs like that especially when picking at the back of the rounds as winning teams tend to do. The ideal end state is having enough elite talent and depth that we can trade them to lesser teams and get back premium picks to speed up our reloading. It is a process that takes time. Apologies to fans who have terminal conditions but for most fans the methodical building of a sustainable contender will be worth the wait.I don’t mind people being neutral on him - although I don’t necessarily agree.

Actually this type of drafting for potential and character moreso than readiness, emphasizing the rarest most expensive positions and qualities, is a fairly new approach for this team and it seems to already be payiilng dividends. So i vote the Fins stay the course.Right, because the last 25 years we've doing doing things correctly... and we've won so much, and we've been playing in the playoffs and we've been close to the big game... oh wait
What would be a good word for being in between a genius and a dumbass? Maybe a taint? Other ideas?Let's get this on record. Of course I vote dumbass
