GunnerBill Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 .... is currently on NFL Network.... you should have heard the criticism the Texans just took for drafting JJ Watt instead of Prince Amukamara to improve their "terrible secondary. Just goes to prove - stick to your board and take the best guy.
thebandit27 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 LOL--I remember SJBF (wish that dude would come back) and I pounding the table for Watt over Dareus (not that we didn't like Dareus; just preferred Watt). Crazy the way that draft class turned out
GunnerBill Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 Yep. The only players in the top 16 not to have been to a pro-bowl are the three over-drafted QBs and Nick Fairley (who whilst not elite has been pretty good).
YoloinOhio Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I forget the Eagles took Danny Watkins in the first round

Crazy the way that draft class turned out SJBF was the best. we butted heads a little early on about Bruce Irvin, but later became pretty consistent with our opinions. What happened to him?! Miss him
Blokestradamus Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I forget the Eagles took Danny Watkins in the first round Didn't he retire to become a fireman?
YoloinOhio Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Didn't he retire to become a fireman? yep. They cut him after 2 years and then he "retired"
Saxum Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 More precisely he went to play with the Phish, discovered Ricky Incognito's Locker Room was exactly opposite of what he was looking for and never played again. If it had been a different type of locker room maybe he would have stayed and found some way to make his two interests work together. Interesting comment by Eggles fan who mentions how Chip Kelly turned around franchise Reid has lost. This IS SO MUCH like the fans who egged Santa Claus. Then Kelly lost it, he was fired and management brought back a Reid disciple. Chip Kelly comes in and wins 10 games pretty much with Reid's core group that won 4 games the year before. Shows the players gave up on Reid, likely because the front office had lost faith in him as well. Made some poor to questionable draft choices, but Watkins was the final straw. The fans did not can Andy Reid, Jeff Lurie did. And Watkins was core to that happening.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I forget the Eagles took Danny Watkins in the first round definitely overrated him. He was good in college because he was much older than the kids he was going against. More precisely he went to play with the Phish, discovered Ricky Incognito's Locker Room was exactly opposite of what he was looking for and never played again. If it had been a different type of locker room maybe he would have stayed and found some way to make his two interests work together.

Saxum Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 What a friggin puzzy (if true of course) I thought the Eggles fan was the "puzzy".
Buffalo Barbarian Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I thought the Eggles fan was the "puzzy". sometimes

Saxum Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Story on Danny Watkins http://mmqb.si.com/2014/12/17/danny-watkins-philadelphia-eagles Yea that is the article I mentioned w/the "puzzy" Eggles fan.
BaaadThingsMan Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Watching these just enforces what a crap shoot it mostly is and how little the experts really know. It's funny to watch them sit there and give testimony on a guy who ends up being a bust yet these guys were fawning over them. Justin Gilbert...the prototype corner in today's NFL...Mayock. Not your best Mike, to be sure Edited April 23, 2016 by NorCalBillsSabres
