Really BZ?

[Oaf]

You guys still don't understand it's HOW we draft not WHEN we draft? Geez. It's not like the Colts/Steelers/Pats get **** every draft at pick 30 or whatever.

BUT, I'll put it this way, I would love to lose every single game left, IF we could get one single win against the Patriots at home. That would be worth the disappointment of all the other losses combined. That will also hopefully be enough to run our shoddy talent evaluators straight out of town. That would be the big deal, not the draft slot we get. Seems like a win-win-win to me.

Where you draft can be the difference between Patrick Willis and Marshawn Lynch.

Re: Really BZ?

Agreed.

Making later round picks count and having a good front office in place is how the good teams stay on top.

The Patriots drafts haven't impressed me in the past few years. They have lots of picks, but they haven't been getting a lot of great players out of them.

I actually like our last draft more than any of the Pats in the past 3 years.

The Steelers get good finds pretty much every draft, but they have their fair share of busts too.

The Colts manage to get a few players that they need but also cant seem to turn the corner on an y great defensive players.

Re: Really BZ?

Last draft might have been going down as one of the best drafts ever, had we took Oher instead of Maybin. Oher/Wood/Levitre/Byrd/Nelson would have been excellent.
Unfortunately, most of the lower round experiments, don't look that much atm. Maybin represents a very much boom or bust guy as of now, in part due to the coaching staff's uncertainty, and consequently what scheme we may be playing next year.
While they may have identified our pass rush as an issue, signing off on a guy who isn't going to contribute this year, was a pretty poor effort from the FO

Heh, not for the smug "We were going to take Poz anyways" Bills.

Think about it this way. Would you give up 15 draft spots to get FA's actually excited to come and play here for a team "on the upswing" (i.e., finishing 8-8). I would, since draft order largely doesn't matter, plus it'd be a hell of a fun ride.

Besides, look how great the Raiders/Lions/Browns/Rams have become with like 3-6 years of straight top 5 picks.

Sure does help having Manning, Ben, and Brady behind center.

Great teams are built around a Quarterback.

How does WHEN we draft have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with Brady???

I agree totally, TD, but it also proves that frachise QBs can be found anywhere in the draft: Manning, #1 overall; Roethlisberger, 3rd QB taken in Rd.1; Brady, 6th Rounder.

Re: Really BZ?

One would think picking earlier would increase there chances of picking better. Or at least picking the guy they have rated higher.

Right?

Because those teams do not have to go out and try to draft a franchise QB, they already have one and they build around them. They can add any piece to the puzzle they want because the number 1 position on their team is filled.

If Losman/Edwards were the QB of the Colts the past 5 years than the Colts wouldn't be picking late in the rounds. They would be picking up near the top ten like the Bills, Lions, Raiders, Rams, Browns, and any other team with piss poor QB play.

Re: Really BZ?

The 10 ten teams in QB rating are 84-35 on the year. The bottom 10 teams are a combined 27-87.

When are people going to realize that the NFL is a QB league?

It increases your odds, but it is certainly no guarantee. And in a year when there are no consensus franchise QBs - the position we most need - increasing the odds is less important. Certainly, not worth losing games to gain a few spots.
