Sorry, haven't been around much. I do. I think he's a top 5 guy in the class and is probably a top 3 prospect overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 This thread is a waste of time. We don't ever actually receive an influx of young talent. The last time we did was 2013. I'm still hopeful with this year's first three and Goedert, but it's probably misguided hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why draft future stars when you could draft present day mediocre role players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've just opened my eyes to the real problem of this team, we're patching holes with duct tape and don't actually reinforcing the ship with new wooden planks.

That's the real problem. I don't know who Howie has doing collegiate evaluations, but he needs to be fired yesteryear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadway Joe Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 At least people is opening their eyes to who Howie Roseman is. As I said, love him in March and hate him in April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the pick to begin with so maybe I'm being biased but he's done nothing to validate his draft stock yet and I think people are still overly optimistic about him. Could be wrong in the long run though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah it was an odd pick considering how little they feature him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, he'd probably be kicking butt if the Cowboys drafted him and were starting him, but we're just wasting him. I bet he makes a pro bowl when he signs with a different team in 2 years, but here he's basically just an extra blocker in our 12 personnel sets for 3 out of every 4 games.

Yep Like I’m happy to not have a power struggle but sometimes it seems like Howie just gets players and is like “go nuts” (Goedert and Tate) or doesn’t account for whats most important and doubling down on it. (JJAW and not taking a safety in good classes the last couple years) There seems to be not much dialogue or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just because he seemingly just isn't very good, but because we drafted more of what we already have when we have glaring needs for someone with speed.... Really hope they can improve on this in the offseason. Howie is a great gm when it comes to making good deals and signing free agents, but the draft has to be figured out at this point.
