Couldn’t have been worse. How is Rosen a no brainer when other QB starved teams passed on him? Someone help me understand this logic.

The Red King Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Sadly there are a number of people so upset about the Allen pick, that the draft was an immediate disaster in their eyes. Every move past that was seen in the most negative light possible, no matter how positive it might actually seem. If you look closely, most people calling this draft a bust and/or disaster share two traits...first, they hated the Allen pick and second they are outright hostile and abusive. It's rarely a calm, clean critique. It's Beane did everything wrong, is an idiot, everyone is going to be a bust and we will have a new coach/GM in a year or two. Some fans got overemotional over Allen being picked and allowed it to severely taint any other draft pick later taken in their eyes.
Misterbluesky Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 I'm happy but I was looking for us to get Cain late.The young lad might be a bit stubborn and tough to work with,but Coach McD would have corrected that...and you can't teach speed. Anyway...solid B for me.The jets,phins and pats did "ok" ,I guess.With all of our off season moves digested as of today, I truly think we have the best defensive unit in the division.
Dr.Sack Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 Allen alone makes our draft a C. As in we’ll see how good this draft was in 2 seasons.

It takes a few years to figure that out. Can't do an initial draft grade with any criteria other than if needs were addressed , top prospects were chosen , and value of the prospects vs where they were taken. No one knows which player is going to turn out better than others. Initial prospect rankings only.

It’s the giving up of 3 picks in the 2nd and 3rd. Some fans see it that way. So it’s not as black and white as you make it.

Edmunds was projected at #7 in most mocks I read. #7=1,500 #22 + #65 = 1,045 Matter of fact what we got was a highway robbery. Thats some solid math!
billspro Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 This could be the draft that brings this franchise back to being dominant
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 29, 2018 Posted April 29, 2018 So many idiots, not enough land mines.

Could have used all the picks they traded away. I know someone else has the copyright but your a idiot

Way too expensive. Huh?? I could understand if you were complaining that they gave up to much in the Allan trade, but for the Edmunds trade according to the chart, they gave up 1045 point to gain 1030 points. So 15 points is too much for you?? LOL 39 minutes ago, nedboy7 said: We have a franchise front office. Didnt the same teams pass on Allen? Its not the Allen pick alone.

One things I'm pretty certain of that would have taken even more picks. Edited April 29, 2018 by Ed_Formerly_of_Roch

Your response to mine stating didn't the same teams pass on Allen still fails to answer the question that's don't asked. People keep talking about Rosen as the no brainer, the sure thing. If he were no one else would've passed on him. My comment had nothing to do with Allen. And frankly your response throwing Allens name into it shows that those making the comments about Rosen don't have a valid argument.
