Seriously though the NFL's system for compensatory draft picks is the most moronic system for compensation ever invented. If you lose 5 high quality starters on 100 million dollar contracts but you sign 5 backups you aren't given any picks because 5 for 5 durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr that's the same durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. !@#$ this system.

Whaley made all of the stupid free agent signings that counted against the compensatory formula and voided out our 3rd and 4th round picks. By the time Beane and McDermott came in, they were saddled with a the decision between cutting several integral players while in the playoff hunt or sticking it out and pushing for the playoffs. They stuck it out and we made the playoffs. Remember? Cool post though. Pretty sure mcd was there for the free agent pickups, cool post though

As another poster said, that's 43 bad moves since they came on board AND NO MOVES SO FAR THIS ENTIRE OFF-SEASON. Even the draft is looking awful at this point.

Let's fire them all and cut everyone on the roster. Things clearly aren't working out.

Look at the guys they have picked in the first few rounds the last couple of years. Some aren't even on their team anymore. Having Brady covers up alot of problems

I'm not saying Vlad is a world beater by any means but he was reliable and available every week, clearly beat out Miller . He's easily the most underrated player on this board. Just don't understand how ppl keep saying we should have cut our starting RG in the midst of a playoff push.. Makes absolutely ZERO sense. He took over as starter in week 5 actually. Miller won the battle in camp and pre-season but struggled mightily when the lights came on regular season. Vlad was up and down once he took the job... he is actually a better pass blocker than run blocker (with Miller it is the other way round)... but he played better than I expected as a whole. And I totally agree you do not cut your starting guard in a playoff push.
frostbitmic Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 They should just add an 8th round to the draft and eliminate comp picks.
Chuck Wagon Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 Basically traded a 3rd round pick for Holmes / Dimarco / Duccasse

You would sacrifice a testical for the Pats* daft BUSTS?! And you would throw in our busts for good measure? You either have a really strong opinion of your right nut, or you feel 2 nuts are superfluous. Either way, your scrotum is lucky you are not an NFL GM.

How in the world do you lose half your damn team and get no picks? When you hold onto scrubs like Mike Tolbesity, Leonard "Who Are You?" Johnson, and Succasse. We were so close to adding a 3rd, which could, ya know, help cushion the blow of trading up/losing a pick for No Knees Benjamin. This is the fourth personnel/draft ammunition failure of this regime. I gotta admit it ... this rant is pretty good! 3 hours ago, Chuck Wagon said: Basically traded a 3rd round pick for Holmes / Dimarco / Duccasse And the fond memories of them that we'll have with us forever ...
