Howie is going to move money around, Hurts cap hit will be $15M at worst. Slay and Lane will restructure. Will we hurt a bit and need our young guys (including 2023 class) to step up if we want to match 2022 success? Probably, but we're hardly being gutted. That's what I keep saying here and to my friends. Them -"The cap the cap OMG the cap" were gonna lose everyone" maybe we can bring back 2 guys!"

Throwing bad money at old players trying to hold onto past glory coupled with underachieving high picks. Davis really needs to elevate his game this coming season.

Now it is time to see if he can sustain, instead of having to rebuild it in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndyTaker Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Howie had a good 2021 draft and Id like to say he took good players in 2022 but even including Jordan Davis they hardly played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been here long enough to know that his good drafts are an anomaly and 2018/2019 are more the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have full confidence that Nakobe Dean will be a very good starter next year. He should have ended up playing over Kyzir down the stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres like a sliver of hope that MAYBE juuusssttt maybe, considering the past 2 drafts, howie has turned a corner on draft nights. And now that I say this we take another Center in the 2 round.

The year we drafted Goedert, Maddox, Sweat, and Mailata all in one draft without having a first round pick? Ya... Howie stinks and regularly blows the draft. Reality is 2019/2020 were outliers and Howie has generally been decent to pretty damn solid in the draft. Edit: also the 2020 draft got us Jalen Hurts so...... Ya the class as a whole disappointed but franchise QB was found so it is pretty damn good as well.

Barnett was a disappointing pick at the time but is a decent player. Obviously not what you want in a first rounder but hardly a complete miss. Jones and Douglas both went on to play decently elsewhere cause Gym Shorts had the worst scheme for DB's in the league. Hollins is still a productive player. Not great but fine. The Pumphrey pick was awful from day one and is completely indefensible though. Most of the players we picked in that draft have at least stuck around the league as role players. Far from a good draft, but not as bad as 2019 which was Sanders and 4 bad picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
