    Can we stop praising Marv for picks?

    Kind of sick of hearing how Marv is great at evaluating talent and that all of these draft picks in '08 are going to help us.

    He cut: Nall, Pennington, CJ Ah You, and Schouman. All players he brought in. Three draft picks and a FA signing. The idea that getting 6th and 7th rounders for TKO and McGahee makes this team better when we just cut 3, 7th rounders, that Marv drafted doesn't make a lot of sense.

    Our FA signings are going to look suspect as well if Tripplett, Dockery and Walker don't get there butts in gear.

      So what's the point of your post ? Marv's picks or the FA's ? You make no sense.

      If it's the players he brought in the last 2 drafts, then he's done a good job. Pointing out 6th,7th round cuts is a laughable reach of epic proportions.

      The FA's are questionable but that wasn't the point of your post...if you had a point.

        You are making my point for me. Marv isn't going to make a 7th rounder into Bruce Smith so acting like things are great when we get 6th and 7th rounders in trades is ridiculous. I would have rather had a #2 for Willis that two 3rds and a 7th. We have a 5th and a 7th for TKO. Not exactly going to change the shape of this team.

            Picking talent in general. He's not going to do any better than any other organization in later rounds. As far as FA his track record is starting to look shaky.

              Marv was lucky to get anything for the cancer McGahee.

              TKO is not the player he was, so this was a salary dump more than anything.

              Marv's FA's leave something to be desired, but his drafting has been a solid B.

                  This is probably one of the dumbest threads I've ever read here. Much less from HH.

                  Bro, I think the team losing has gotten to you. Maybe it's time to take a break from football.

                      I think Marv will have a better draft record than FA record.

                      People around the league are already starting to question whether our OL is going to be suspect AND overpaid.

                        Can you stop trying to tell us what to talk about?

                        Kind of sick of hearing from yiou what we should or not talk about.

                          new england just cut three 2007 picks, a fifth rounder and a couple of seventh rounders. guess they suck at picking players, too.

                            To be a little fair, we really need to wait and see what those draft picks turn into in the future before determining whether or not it was worth it.
