ans4e64 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I think it is clear that these draft guys know nothing about the team that drafts them. They look at the player, where he was picked, and who else was there and thats it, forgetting about what the team needs and who fits the bill. With that said, most of us saw ESPN's winners and losers and i was wondering how mel kiper can say we are a loser but he loves the whitner pick. Also we have the chance to have 3 starters out of this in Whitner, McCargo, and maybe next year in Youboty but we are losers. The patiots however, do not have any starters in laurence maroney (dillion will play, maroney is for the future), chad jackson (rookies WR almost never have an impact), and TE David Thomas (he's not cracking the lineup with ben watson, daniel graham, and christian fuaria) but they are winners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My lucky 8 ball does as good grading as these 'experts'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
