Yeah, you can safely say that with the Cowboys, Bills and can include the Bears too, IMO with Kyle Long.

 

Xavier Rhodes was not a steal, Shariff Floyd was.

 

In fact, I felt Chance Warmack was a steal for the Titans too. With the Jets needing O-line help, why would they pass on Warmack, he fit their man power scheme to a tee??? That was Rex Ryan's influence in the drafting room that messed it up, IMO.

 

He could have waited till #13, and I bet either Milliner or D.J.Hayden would have still been there.

 

I agree, the Colts got a steal due to teams reaching for OL help too, they got one of the few guys who were actually rated first round material in the draft.

Long and Pugh were big reaches and thankfully Colts didn't do that...Werner was the biggest steal..Patterson could be a steal if he is utilized and developed properly...I can see Floyd and Rhodes being busts so I'm not gonna jump on the Vikings bandwagon at all yet..

I think we owe an equal debt of gratitude to New Orleans.  Many projected them to take the best OLB available but they passed on Jarvis Jones and took Vacarro instead.  If they take Jones then Pitt may have taken Werner.

Was a reach. If we had stopped his slide last nite, could have got in 2nd rd.

None of us can say who was a steal or a bust yet, None of them has played a single game yet... I have seen can't miss prospects fall flat on their face, while noone seen Brady do what he did after getting picked in 6th round... I just find it useless to label players Busts or steals before even 1 snap

      Bill Tobin Passed Away

      By RollerColt · Posted

      https://www.nfl.com/news/bill-tobin-longtime-nfl-executive-dies-at-age-83   He drafted some all time great players like Harrison, and of course is famous for his verbal match with Mel Kiper. RIP!

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Then begs the question. Do u want to say draft a MJH at 4 and turn around in 4 years or would u say draft Turner and pay him 30mill in 4 years? All day every day for the franchise rush end. I am not a big believer in 30 mill for a wr. Reid is a fantastic coach and look what he did with Hill.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      I literally just posted that clip, it's where the conversation about QBs started.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By twfish · Posted

      I personally wouldn’t touch Williams with a 10 foot pole. He seems like a distraction and cancerous. He may be Uber talented but I don’t feel like he is a winner, and don’t feel like his heart is in it. I think he gets the bag and just sets it on cruise control. There is absolutely nothing to base this off of aside from my gut feeling.  Maye Daniels  Penix Nix McCarthy   Maye is your prototype passer and I think his deficiencies are easily fixed with good coaching.   Daniels seems the most limited to me, proficient and will be very dependent on where he goes.    Will always have a soft spot for Penix, he throws such a pretty deep ball. His 40 time should have opened some eyes.   Nix is probably the safest pick IMO. I think he’s got the tools to fit nearly any offense. Has the athleticism, arm talent and I think he’s got the between the ears to excel in most offenses.   I see the appeal with McCarthy, he was as unselfish as they come allowing the run game to shine instead of checking to pass plays. I think his ceiling is a solid game manager.
