    Many is not an opinion word. I'm not sure if anyone outside of Ezekiel Elliott will be better than Henry. But I GUARANTEE there are rbs after Henry better than Sankey. There are at least two posters in this thread that disagree with that. And silly me but I don't think stating rbs are better than Sankey is some huge stretch.

    So just a recap of our draft. We traded out of #1, only to trade back up and give away picks for free to take a tackle that wasn't even ranked #1 at his position. Then we ignore our most glaring weakness, in a draft supposedly strong at that position to beef up our dline which we just invested a ton of $$$ into already. Then we draft a rb despite taking Sankey as the first rb of the board a couple years ago, signing mccluster to a big contract, letting Andrew's start for a year, and traded for Demarco Murray and his inflated contract.....then we took someone else that I couldn't care less about because this team is a train wreck. The real kicker is that it's a ****ing Alabama running back.....

    That's a statement I agree with, fwiw. Sankey is truly a wasted pick.

    I understand the Heisman means nothing in the NFL but you didn't point out other failures, you pointed out Manziel, and I pointed or that he didn't fail due to lack of ability. He failed because he is am idiot. Henry has given no indication of that.

    I totally agree


    Dude is a horse. What did he run for 2200 yards and 28 tds? Yeah he sucks... as much as I like the Murray pickup, he really had that big contract year where he lead the league in yards but has either got hurt or been average his other years. This is a good pick.

    I have no idea how to feel about this 2nd round. Could've drafted alexander and bell, passed on them, both bama dt's as well. I've always liked henry just cause he's an absolute monster. I guess this means we definitely arent done in free agency though.

    1. Those "Rankings" you speak of are done by people not good enough to work in the NFL
    2. We did address our biggest need, RT
    3. After reading down, then back up again,we are still way ahead of where we were able n terms of picks
    4. D line is a major need. Depth is poor and we did not have a starting g caliber NT
    5. We needed to improve our OLB depth aneverythingust because Andrews started a lot and Sankey was taken high does not mean they are good. They are marginal players
    6. It would have been nice to improve CB and ILB but you cannot fix everything
