With the 45th Pick of the 2016 Draft: Alabama RB Derrick Henry

Seems like the trend of missing in the 2nd continues. Sad to think we had 3 2nd rounders and we missed on them all. Should have took myles jack.

 

Yeah but you like being miserable

Fowler, Henry and Murray are the only ones safe.

DMC should go unless we cannot find someone else to return.

Andrews could develop into a backup at both TB and FB and add some value along with special teams.

 

Sankey and Andrews can contribute on special teams which give them a big edge on Cobb.

Don't forget special teams, it often determines who stays and who goes.

 

So the draft isn't over and you already can see that we missed on all 3 selections? That's pretty incredible..... And if all 3 turn out to be great players, what then?

 

Not only that but I think people also forget the number of DB's we signed in FA, we signed an ILB as well. Personally I think flipping the time of possession in our favor is going to do more for our defense overall than any single player we could have drafted anyway. I firmly believe Henry, Conklin, Jones and Murray as well as playing guards at guard instead of Tackle will also improve things LMAO.

 

Then I'll admit i was wrong if they turn out better than who i thought we should have took. Jack Robinson etc

 

It's one thing to have a negative opinion... it's a completely other thing to run to the phone to call whine one one for a waaambulance as a few posters have repeatedly... over and over and over and over... did I mention over and over and over? Cry or whine about our picks?

My point is, SO WHAT? 1. We as fans don't see the same things the people getting paid to do this are seeing (and please let's not pretend any of us truly know, I love this pick myself I'm also a realist, no prospect is a sure thing). 2. The common theme in this draft is "football players", maybe not the big name guys but if you look at their production at the college level these guys performed (all of them regardless of middle tennessee state or Alabama). 3. All are also humble, high character guys (not sure about the last 2 picks). 4. I'm not sure if you noticed or not but 3 of our first 4 picks were guys who competed in teams fighting for the national championship teams (Michigan State, Clemson and Alabama) as well. You might ask why I mention this... they were on teams that win football games and I hope everyone can understand how adding guys used to winning will help change the culture of a team that has been used to losing for quite some time.

 

He wanted to take a LB with a degenerative knee lol

 

I'm gonna drop a load in my drawers the first time he runs someone over.

A few other posters will be dropping a load for the exact same reason in reverse lol.
