biggie. Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Remember how virtually everyone reacted to the Cole Strange pick? "What a reach!" "Belichick can't draft" "Belichick should just stick to coaching" Meanwhile I pointed out that the same exact thing was said about Travis Frederick before he ended up having a great career. I also pointed out Belichick has an eye for o-line talent. Finally, I argued HE HASN'T PLAYED YET. Here we are now and Strange has played very well. In fact, our derided rookie class entirely has played well. Can we please stop taking the draft so seriously? Edited October 18, 2022 by biggie.

Soko Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) I also like the draft. We should just understand that there’s lots of hyperbole during draft season and that 99.9999% of what is said is conjecture that’ll probably end up wrong. It’s why we talk about our hits more than our misses. Plus, as it pertains specifically to Strange, the criticism will always be there, albeit virtually unprovable in most cases. The analogy is that taking Tom Brady in the first round is still a bad pick, value wise, because he can be had in the 6th. Of course, we’ll probably never know if Strange could’ve been had later, but the general consensus was that he could’ve been. There will always be shade with that in mind. But he’s been playing well, we aren’t complaining. Like I said, the smarter thing to do is just take criticisms and projections with a grain of salt.

biggie. Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Just pure cringe. All that time spent typing just to look like a twit in the end. Meanwhile the #1 Ravens? Same exact record and can't protect leads at all. There are calls to fire Harbaugh. These draft reactions are dumb af. Wait three years THEN you can actually give an analysis.
