Not even close. Uhh, Ryan Leaf ring a bell? or how about Billy Milner, Mike Mamula, Ron Dayne, Thomas Jones, Erik Flowers, Jim Druckenmiller, Curtis Enis, Cade McNown, Rick Mirer, Akili Smith, Lawrence Philips or Heath Shuler? Jeez, go with Yatil Green or Jon Avery for that matter. Let the guy play a little before you execute him.
And remember no matter how pissed off you get, it won't change who we got. You have to accept it's out of your hands, and get on with it.
It's just a game.

Yup, even tho you draft all picks with the idea that they could replace a start, at least the late rnd picks are where you [would think] alot of your ST players come from. Oh well, as long as Wanny is here, we're just beating a dead horse.
BTW, did you see the poll on grading the Fins draft in the SS yet?

I would imagine that he may have been referring to the Fins' picks.

What makes you think that you're so right and the FO of the PHins is wrong? Shut up already! No one knows how this draft will pan out for any of the teams at this stage. For all we know this could be one of the most productive drafts ever. It may not appear to be that at the moment but weren't there just as many questions about last year's Dolphins draft class until they started to produce? Give it a rest people!:fire:
Sorry butt I'm still pissed at the first pick. I really thought there were some quality picks at that spot. Moore is no slouch, but I was really hoping for a quality Wr after the Tackles were gone. Or a safety like Doss. I know they will probably get Knight now, but I was so surprised Doss fell that far, and thought get him or Calico.
But you know what? I'm really happy with the rest of the draft.
Wade smith should be the starter next year, and I think Lee will be a great addition, and should contribute big time this year.
The Offensive line got a lot more depth. And now after hearing the coach tell us that Dixon will be the LT, which is good to state now, and there will be no more thoughts on Webb. The line also got a heck of a lot younger.
And I'm going to end up probably liking Moore more and more.
But the best thing from this draft already happened last year, and he ran for 1.800 plus yards.
But this don't mean we fans should not express any kind of dismay Ebo. And I'm usually the big homer.

Ozzy,
I guess that I just got a little bothered by the overall volume of negativity that was being expressed. I can respect an opinion. Most of the sentiments were not based on anything other than the emotions that were running rampant at the time. I, like many of you, was extremely puzzled when we didn't go in a different direction with the first pick. But you know what? I don't do the draft for a living. I'm a fan. As a fan I have to at least consider that our FO knows more than I do about the situation and has it under control. You have to admit that they have done a pretty good job of that over the years, right? Instead what we got were people calling for the heads of our staff without giving them the benefit of the doubt. The bottom line is this. The people that pulled the trigger on these picks will be held accountable for the results that are going to come. There's plenty of time to condemn them but what if they've actually done a good job with this draft? It's too early to tell isn't it? Well, there's already a thread on this board that seems to be asking people to sign up if they want Wannstedt out of the organization. Don't you feel that type of reaction is extremely premature? Too late! It's already out there. That's sad.....

For all the people screaming that we should have drafted someone that could start and make an impact, remember that when we get rid of Rodgers, we have no one backing up the LB's that is "starter quality. This kid could very likely be starting at LB for us at some point this season, and could very well make an immediate impact. Like Infins said, how many 2nd round choices will be in this years Pro Bowl? Not many I would imagine! Not many 1st round picks at LT or WR make the pro bowl or even START on a championship caliber team. Veteran leadership will make or break this team this year. After that who knows who will be with us.
And for everyone who says that we could have gotten Moore in a later round, well you REALLY DON'T know that for sure do you? This was a need pick, like it or not.

Your making me sound more pessimistic than I want to on this, but tell me, who did we have that was of starter quality @ Lb the last three years. Gaylon? Izzo?
They paid a decent price too Gaylon and he got injured. So too me why not keep Rodgers to battle with Greenwood and the loser solidifies the Lbing core even more..........for this year.
The last paragraph is just food for thought and not nessacarally my stern opinion. My more stern opinion on this would be why not a Wr? That's all

Ebozzz it's all good, but i'm just puzzled with the FO a bit. They look like Genius' from the third round on. It's those 1st and 2nd round picks that get me, not all and I know it's a crapshoot. but hey who knows Moore could pan out better than expected, but I'm still not overly happy about it
....Sorry!

Yes it's true, there are more Monday morning GM's than there are GM's! We have to remember that a lot of posters out there are frustrated GM's, sad but true.

So...the fact that we don't know for sure how these picks will pan out should prevent us from complaining about them...but it's perfectly ok for the SunShiners to crow and cheer about them? Nice freakin' double standard there. Lets also ignore the fact that 99% of the posts on this board are in reference to things which NOBODY on here knows anything about. I guess everyone needs to stop posting their predictions, picks, and prognostications? Congrats, there should be about 3 posts a week from here on out, most of which will be questions about RunRickyRun.com:fire:

Lol...I'm surprised someone with a Bob Marley avatar didn't suggest a different method of relaxation
Honestly man, I was just responding to the rant. If you wanted mellow, you shouldn't have tagged the post with ":yell: ". Peace.:D
