Grandy Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Before about March, Macc was a meh GM. Now that the draft, and FA has unfolded, and he landed us some great FAs, and drafted our Franchise Savior in Darnold, he looks like an absolute mastermind.

derp Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 It’s always a really young player in the first round which is interesting. Sometimes targets them later too (Hackenberg), but not always (Shepherd is old, there have been others). Clearly something they look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be judged more harshly with the later rounds. That's where the team is really built. Of course if Darnold becomes our FQB then he'll be around for a long time.

Creepy Lurker Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 What would really impress me is if Mac can turn unused cap space into draft picks by taking on a few bad contracts. Some of those once high end players may return to form as an added bonus and we would be in the drivers seat for extending/redoing their original contract instead of dumping them. We just have so much space and no one to resign due to abysmal drafting over the years. If he can lock up some of our guys that deserve it, sign quality free agents AND flip cap space for picks, I’d be estatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNuuFaaolaExperience Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I have felt from the beginning that Macc is a big picture thinker, and not just for the season ahead. The plan may not work, but there is thought behind each and every one of his moves. I like that he has a plan and isn't just winging it. By the end of year six, I believe that all of his decisions will make a lot more sense. He got tons of sh*t for drafting back to back safeties last year, but now we have a potential franchise QB, and a solid set of safeties who are good locker room guys. I'm a Sixers fan, and I trusted Hinkie's process. I trust in Macc's process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I wasn't of fan of McCag after first two years and some of his signings (like Mo and Revis) and the hold out of Fitz. But I assume much of that was because of the owner. But he's improved with experience and is doing a good job. Sometimes you have to allow someone to grow into a job. If you want to rip a GM for bad pick or not drafting someone who ended up being great you can attack all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Mac has not screwed up his first round draft picks, which sounds easy but is actually not. Plenty of teams over think it and mess up their first round draft picks. Taking into account suspected meddling, he has handled FA, waiver wire pick ups and contracts decently. The good teams-the playoff teams-find good players after the first round. They also construct their roster strategically. This is where Mac has been lacking in my opinion. We have 17 WRs, little OL depth, and, going into Day 3 of the draft, really don’t know who the EDGE rusher is going to be-the best case scenario would be that someone one of the problem cases-Mauldin and Donahue-work out. I really think the next 4 picks should be OL and EDGE-those really should be the easiest positions for someone to make the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more excuses for him. imo he's under even less pressure because the general feeling is letting darnold sit for as long as it takes. mccown isn't going to be happy giving up the starter's job unless he's injured. i just don't see darnold starting from game one even if he lights it up in training camp and pre season. the bottom line is we're probably getting an 8 win team. i suppose there's a chance bowles will finally get the defense to step up but unless one side of the line gets into the top 10 it's going to be another long season. can darnold help this? hard to say at this stage since he hasn't played game 1. i'm not trying to nay say but be objective about where this team is. there's still nobody that scares the other team.

At least he didn't over think them. He'll be judged more harshly with the later rounds. That's where the team is really built. Of course if Darnold becomes our FQB then he'll be around for a long time. True for Leo Williams and Jamal Adams but the timing of his trade up to #3 is absolutely to his credit. If he waited until draft day, it likely would've cost a lot more. If he traded before draft day but waited longer, another team could've traded for the Colts' pick. Macc got us to #3 and didn't even have to give up a #1 pick. And yes, Darnold did fall into our laps but part of that was Macc getting to #3 in the first place. Besides, luck absolutely plays a factor in the success of teams. Even the Pats drafted Brady in the 6th round. That's essentially a lottery ticket that ended up being the GOAT QB. Also, we were due some luck. We wanted Favre but missed him by 1 pick. We had the #1 overall pick 2 years in a row but Peyton stayed in school after his Sophomore and Junior seasons at Tennessee. Supposedly one of our scouts wanted Brady but Parcells overruled him (saying we had already drafted Chad in the 1st round that year). We also had the GOAT HC slip through our fingers, most likely due to the timing of Leon Hess' death. Meanwhile, the teams in our division have all had long runs of sustained excellence. The Dolphins were great from the 1970's through mid 1980's (let's not forget that Marino slipped into their lap). The Bills took it from there going to 4 straight Superbowls. Then the Pats have had an almost 20 year run of greatness. Even Indy (who used to be in our division) got Peyton and then Andrew Luck right after. Where has the success been for our franchise though? We fight over how good Mark Sanchez was for crying out loud! I think Darnold might be the LONG OVERDUE break this franchise needed. Good times are ahead!
