Another pick i dont like. Actually the only pick ive liked is Booth. Everything else hasnt been great. 

Honestly, i wish Rick was still the GM now. 

Didn’t Rick waste a pick on an ultra athletic LB in round 3 last year. Honestly, everything about this draft screams Rick Spielman.

What so we could "win the draft", finish 9-8, 8-9 and then 3/4 of the class would be gone in 3 years?

People always liked Rick’s drafts in April. Yet they consistently disappointed in September. 

Why would you still want that?

After every draft most of us were happy and understood the picks. For the most part, Rick was a good drafting GM. Its not his job to coach guys up. Maybe it was Zims fault for being crusty & not developing guys?

Not only is it a team game amongst the players, it's also a team game amongst the coaching staff and management.  So, yes, it is also his fault...because even when those players went elsewhere, it's not like they all of a sudden blossomed.  Zimmer, even as crusty as he was, exposed a lot of these players for what they were, which is not where they should have been drafted.

Waste a pick? So Surratt is a bust after one year? 

Wouldn’t call him a bust but Spielman was fired for a reason. The pick didn’t contribute as a rookie, I think that’s going to become a problem with how the league is moving towards paying veterans ridiculous contracts. Those day one and day two picks need to contribute. Drafting a third string QB and 5th LB on day 3 isn’t a good look.

On day 2, but your point stands
