stoicsentry Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 As others have stated, the cap issue is really no issue at all. I'm not concerned about that. I am concerned about the draft, though. For someone claiming to be building a team through the draft, we have little to show for it. You don't get a free pass just because you keep repeating that you are building through the draft. Idzik said he was building through the draft, too and look how that turned out. Mac's drafts haven't impressed me in the least. Williams fell in his lap and yes, you give him credit for pulling the trigger. But other than him, who have we really added in the draft in these past 2 years? From the 2015 draft, the only other player who has proven to be somewhat valuable is Deon Simon. Devin Smith doesn't see the field, Petty looks like a mediocre backup QB thusfar, Mauldin is just a guy. As far as the 2016 draft goes, you spent your 1st round pick on a part-time linebacker, your 2nd round pick on a project QB that you didn't develop at all last season and a couple decent but hardly exciting prospects in Burris, Shell, Peake, etc. I'm not saying you don't need guys like that - they're good to have. But you can't have a winner without frontend talent as well and we are sorely lacking there. This is the worst position that I can remember the franchise being in, ever. The coach is about as clueless as it gets and doesn't seem to do anything well in particular. He doesn't scheme up defense as he was supposed to do, he works less with the offense than Rex did (are you kidding me?) and he all but admitted to losing his locker room in year 2. We have no offensive coordinator, and with a coach on the hot seat who may lose his job next year, who really wants that role? The young talent is mostly backend of the roster talent, the older talent is all over the hill or on their way out of the league. In his postseason interviews, I hear Mac talking about the young players like Robby Anderson and the like. Once again, I'm glad we have guys like that but that's not the point. Every team in the NFL has guys like that. If you don't even have that then you don't even have an NFL team. So both the roster and the coaching staff is a mess and you have barely anything to build around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So both the roster and the coaching staff is a mess and you have barely anything to build around. I think it would be interesting to map who Mac passed up in picking who he did. I don't have the time to do that now. But my initial impression is that the Hack and Devin Smith picks are screamers (but both still in progress), as there were players picked after that they turned out to be immediate and valuable contributors, but I am not sure that Mac left too many valuable players on the table in picking who he did in the other rounds. The Leonard Williams pick is a wash because he did not unload one of the other DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about every team in the NFL can make 7-8 cuts and generate 30m cap space. Problem is, when we had 50mil of cap space couple of years ago, and this year we had to borrow money from the future cap and end up with 5 wins, someone should be answerable to that.

Mike135 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 No worries. Turn on the news. Ambassador Woody is currently at a lunch in DC, sitting next to Mitch McConnell, listening to our President elect give a speech. I'm sure priority #1 for Woody is building a winning organization.

Takes time If we are building through the draft, then we should expect a lot of cap room. Mac doesn't get a pass on this. He effed up the cap situation here when Idzik handed him probably the best cap situation in the whole league on a silver platter. Building through the draft, yet not SUITING UP your 'would-be future franchise QB' isn't really the ideal situation. We're not even talking about him playing. Yeah, he'll learn a lot being a ghost.

Mac gave Bowles the same team 2 years in a row. one year they played very well against a poor schedule, the next they under-achieved and quit on their coach, a bad sign for a coaches character.

jdeacon Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Look around the league at other Gm's history of picks. The draft is an absolute crap shoot, a perfect example being Robbie Anderson outperforming a second round pick from last year ( Smith). We all criticized him for trading a pick this year and drafting Shell who looks like he has the promise of being a starting RT. The reality is everyone is so angry over the hack pick everyone has gone blind to the fact the guy has done a pretty good job and hopefully continues to improve year in and year out. People act like 3rd and 4th round picks should always succeed. The amount of 3rd and 4th rounders that wash out of the nfl every year is staggering, the fact we have some depth and backups from those picks is all you can really ask for.
