Naa its not my philosophy, just a not so subtle hint that the picks we would give up for a Watson trade are less likely to turn into elite players if we spend them in the draft ourselves...
Honestly though, unless I misread that report being in the bottom 6 for all our rookies is pretty awful...
Well, I don't put much credibility in PFF to begin with, but I Aalso don't believe you can accurately assess a draft after year one under the best circumstances, let alone the fiasco of an almost nonexistent offseason.
If we then factor in that three of our picks were Oline, who all started multiple games, and have a very good chance to make a big sophmore leap, I don't see it as a big fail at this point.
Let's look at it from a little different perspective.
At times, we had three linemen, Tua, Bowden (wasn't our pick, but part of the rookie class), Davis and Jones all playing significant snaps in their rookie years.
Show me another team that comes anywhere close to that.
Personally, I'll wait until the end of next season to judge.
For all we know, despite his detractors, Iggy may be a stud in the making as well. I'm not counting on it, but not dismissing the possibility either.
