paul-mac Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I was just looking at our 2016 draft and weirdly, every single player apart from our first round pick is still in the league 1. Paxton Lynch (Out of league) 2. Adam Gotsis (Jaguars) 3. Justin Simmons (Broncos) 4. Devontae Booker (Giants) 5. Connor McGovern (Jets) 6. Andy Janovich (Browns) 6. Will Parks (Jets) 7. Riley Dixon (Giants) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKenzie has had a career revival in Buffalo since they actually use him properly (shocking). But yeah, the stubbornness of "win-now and now on" was dumb and prolonged the mediocrity. 7 minutes ago, paul-mac said: That 2017 second day was awful. Demarcus Walker (to his credit, he’s still in the league, but well short of his second round standard), Carlos Henderson and Brendan Langley (who?) That draft would have been 2009-level horrible if Munchak hadn’t turned Garett Bolles career around. The part that killed re: Henderson was he was pretty much a more expensive and slightly less toolsy version of McKenzie. The next 2 WR on the Big Board were Kenny Golladay and Chris Godwin. Who went right after. Agony lol. I don’t miss the Draft Day 2 futility days lol. Simmons the only guy who hit or even was ok in the Elway 2013-17 run lol.

He's now in something called the gridiron football league (???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-mac Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 We’ve taken some bust corners in rounds 2 and 3 over the years 2009 - Alphonso Smith (Cut after 1 season, after we traded a future 1st for him) 2013 - Kayvon Webster (I mean he wasn’t bad depth/special teams, but tended to get beat a lot when he had to start) 2017 - Brendan Langley (Lasted one season then was moved to WR on the practice squad) 2018 - Isaac Yiadom (He’s actually an okay depth piece, but failed to nail down a role in our defense and was traded for a ham sandwich) 2020 - Michael Ojemudia (I actually thought he showed some promise as a rookie, but the resources we put in to the CB position last year tells me Paton isn’t thrilled with him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Shocking to see McDaniels sign someone who used to play for the Patriots. I sure didn’t see that coming… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure didn’t see that coming… We have to be noticing the vast improvements on D with regard to the chargers and raiders don't we especially with regard to the pass rush? I'd rather have a proven RT then try and find one in the draft. Still some good tackles out there............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 That press conference was awesome and Russell wilson holding up the jersey with Paton and Hackett side to side looked wayyy better and more serious Than Elway, Vance , and keenum . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was just going to say if anyone didn’t watch it, do so when you can. I’ve long been a fan of Russ, back to his Wisconsin days, but it’s impossible not to like that man. Let’s just get the right owner now because we have a great GM, a HOF QB and a HC and staff that I’m very, very high on. The culture has changed. Let’s just cross our fingers we don’t end up with some idiot owner, a Snyder, a Kahn, a Haslem, et al., that screws the whole thing up.

lomaxgrUK Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Yeh I'm the same as you guys - convinced we are winning the next 10 Superbowls after that press conference ... Russ is so impressive. So, so, so impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I did try and tell you all Von was going to get paid ... Explains why we were out of the running early. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
