AFJF Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I know, I know....Mac is no Mangini, and we all know how EAAAASSSSYYYY it is to find elite talent when you're picking 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 GM's who pick good players in the top 10 should get no credit when they hit on their picks because it's just too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4jets Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Unfortunately, the draft isn't about the top 6. One can make the argument that when Mac has had to pick outside the top 6, he fails. Picking a stud DL (who has been invisible this year for some reason) and a Safety (hold your horses, he's not the GOAT just yet) with a top 6 pick isn't exactly something to be pounding your chest over when most other picks have been busts relative to their draft spot.

I've been told more times than I can count that he gets no credit for Leo and he gets no credit for Adams, because picking great players that early is just too easy...a given.

The FO for this pick didn't exactly get stoned for the pick. He was considered atop draft prospect and drafted as such. It's not like Tanny reached and grabbed a short LB or drafted a QB in the 2nd nobody had in their boards until the 5th round and rightfully so. When you take that massive leap for a QB, you end up pitting a lot of eggs in one basket. Without the Leo lottery pick, Mac probably gets fired sooner than later.

Right, because with Mo Sheldon already on the roster and Kevin White staring him in the face, Leo was such an easy choice. Nobody was unhappy about that pick.

I know right...guys like shell starting at RT a year after being drafted in the 5th what a bust, and Jordan jenkins in the 3rd hasn't even made one probowl bust and burris and peak you barely see...who drafts developmental players beyond as early as the 4th - 7th round come on now. His first draft wasn't spectacular outside of Leonard Williams. Petty looks alright I think he was a good value in the fourth and Deion Simon in the 7th was pretty good for his draft position. Devin Smith I would have loved to see more of unfortunatly he has been as fragile as dee milliner. Not going to go over the newest draft as it is way too early to judge these kids based off of four game some of them are showing good flashes though haven't seen or heard much bad from them. Either way not every draft pick is going to be a future pro bowler I think your expectations are a bit unrealistic if you honestly believe that most of our picks in the passed three years have been busts relative to their draft spots. I would love to see a list of teams you believe have done a better job in the passed three years along with an explanation of why their round 2-7 guys are better than ours.

I don't know what's going to happen five years from now, so I'm going based on what we know today, which is that he has played SS, FS, CB and LB at a high level. I'm not sure I'll ever feel like a player who can do all of those things isn't a great pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Not sure what there is to discuss about this topic, being a starter on one of the worst rosters in the league isn't exactly an impressive feat. Leo for as great as I think he is, is falling into the same category that everyone used to beat Mo up about, he doesn't make impact, game changing plays. Just a solid player very stout vs. the run. Not a whole lot in terms of pass rush. Adams looks great at doing his job. He seems to be a great assignment type of player. He's probably never out of position and makes great pre snap reads. While the resume is short, he too, is a solid player that doesn't do anything other than his job. Clearly subject to change. He's a baby. Lee, played his best game yesterday I can recall and he's still terrible. So what are we discussing? Is this a lets celebrate Mac is our bestest GM ever because he didn't draft a bust in the top 6 type of thread? Well, that could be debatable. Not only did potential "best player in the draft" fall to him but he had to make a decision on both and one looks terrible while the other is debatable. Watson is looking like a huge mistake and the debate vs. Beasly and Williams is legit (though I still favor Williams). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
