Not that I think they are "hidden gems" but would have been nice to see if they could develop into depth pieces. I thought the same, especially Prince. I'll take any O lineman with potential and keep him under Stoutland to develop. If he decides it's not going to work out then cut. The way injuries happen to this O line especially.

If he decides it's not going to work out then cut. The way injuries happen to this O line especially. He was rated fairly decently last year. If not for an injury he was projected to be a mid round pick. I thought he could have developed into a reserve swing tackle for us. Bummer never got to find out.

Then trade both 4ths for a 3rd...all the way up to trading two 2nds for a 1st round pick. #madden And then take a kid who missed the last two seasons with assorted injuries but killed the combine, that no one else had any higher than a 3rd. Does anyone else find it surreal that we (well, some of us) have talked like this about Roseman's drafting for five years, and yet Lurie still leaves him in charge, even after a housecleaning? Its like the f***king Twilight Zone.

Its like the f***king Twilight Zone. Right. I loved the PC when Lurie explained firing Doug. The reporters asked more questions about why Howie still has a job. Even announcers during games this year were calling out Howie's bad drafting.

March 11, 20214 yr 6 hours ago, NOTW said: My theory is that in the early rounds Howie knows the "names" better and wants to make a splash. Once you get to the later rounds he has no idea and just goes with who the coaches and scouts ask for. Or, like last year he went with "who has all the SPEEEEED?" Once in the 7th round he doesn't care so the coaches push to get guys like the list below. Mailata, Mills both starters and Beau Allen was a good backup (should have kept him and made him starter). That is one hell of a theory that I completely agree with. I would say anything past the 5th is when he starts getting lost and needs help

All good, i was in shock for a minute after continuing to count on another mediocre linebacker in my mental depth chart.

Even announcers during games this year were calling out Howie's bad drafting. It's as if he's a family member and just can't be fired. It's gotten so obvious to everyone but the national media, who still appear to be believe the "Executive of the Year" idiocy. How many more bad drafts will it take, or is this just the way it will always be? I'm thinking the latter.

Is has become painfully obvious that brief window of ultimate success was nothing more than a fluke. I hate that the people we have at the top of this organization experience an ounce of success and then can’t stop smelling themselves. A bunch of clowns at the very top that starts with the owner.

I asked that question after the super bowl. Did we win a super bowl to soon and now they don't know how to handle it? It appears so
