    Not trying to argue over something petty and irrelevant... but its the off-season so...

    Yes. Yes it is! "Many" is definitely an opinion word. It's ambiguous. It is not measurable. You can't use it in a statement and declare "fact".

    "The common theme of this draft is 'football players'", lmao yeah I would hope so.

    All of you homers keep saying the same thing in a different way, "If you disagree with the picks, you're a whiny b**ch who lives in a basement".

    Ok... so are you saying that you know more about the fit for scheme or have a better knowledge of football than the folks being paid to make these picks? I sure as hell don't. When I say "football players" the first thing you do is crack wise without evidently understanding the context of my statement. When you look at this draft or any other you will find player who everyone thought "should have been picked" as well as guys who "never should have been picked". When I say football players I'm not discussing their 40 times, the cones, vertical... I'm talking specifically productivity. Say what you will or want to, the guys picked at least in the first 3 rounds were all EXTREMELY productive at the college level. Meaning regardless of the measurables they are JUST good football players, which is something this team needs.

    As for being a "homer"... yup. Sure am. The only thing I've said and I'll paraphrase is stop whining because they didn't pick the guys you wanted. There were more than a few I wanted we didn't get but the same thing happened during FA and there just happens to be a few posters who want to b!+€# no matter what. Not once did I say anything about anyone's basement... if you want to disagree with a pick fine but don't do it 37 times (and yes I'm exaggerating, kinda) in the same thread continuously.

    Really? What other posters stated "Sankey is as good as every back taken after Henry". I've read the thread and can't find that statement anywhere.

    I can't understand why anyone would complain about this pick. Just go back and watch Alabama play.

    GREAT EFFING PICK!!!

    Let people complain, from all the dissenting comments I've seen its not about people not getting their favorite player. Rather, it's about the front office taking a luxury pick over obvious needs.

    Go back and watch us get torched by Bortles, that's why.

    Yup, and I'm sure Alexander or Fuller was going to put a halt to that.

    We wanted a CB so bad, yet they slid down the pole. Again, I'm sure those 2 guys would've solved our issues in the secondary.

    What luxury pick are you talking about? Henry a luxury pick? I have to disagree, this isn't luxury it's insurance and depth for a team looking to run the ball down peoples throats. Think about it, if Murray gets dinged up who did we have on the current roster that you would be comfortable with? Most teams use 2 back systems and we didn't really have even 1 last year. Now we have 2. Some folks here have made a point to explain how a nasty front 7 will help our db's more than a db helping the front 7 can. Not to mention we have already signed 3 db's in FA, 2 who know the system and will start at a higher level of competency than a rookie.

    As for letting them complain... I wouldn't object to 1 or 2 but it's the incessant comments made in every single thread that we are doomed or he's a bust by the same folks.
