Fisher's fault?

I agree, part of the blame should be on Fisher.

 

I think Jeff definitely wears the pants in the war room. He also wears the pants in the play calling. Coordinators and GM's are there just to take all the blame when he screws up.

Seems like a control freak to me.

 

I've said it 1000 times. CJ would NOT have been there in the 2nd.

Sweed almost fell to the 3rd yet you think we should have taken him in the 1st? Interesting.

DJ Hall was good enough to go undrafted. Enough said.

 

We don't need WRs, we need a #1 WR, and this draft had none. Not even the beloved Limas Sweed. I'm just as happy with Hawkins as I would have been with Sweed, and we got him 2 rounds later.

Hall was good in college but obviously the pros know something that we don't or he would have been drafted.

RB is the easiest position to make an impact at from day 1, and we needed an impact player NOW. We now have the fastest player in the NFL in our backfield, not to mention he's a triple threat. Guys like CJ aren't a dime a dozen.

 

Fisher now probably controls most of the draft, he didn't when Floyd the barder was here, that's what the power struggle between the two was all about. C. Johnson is a faster B. Westbrooks, write it down. 10 td's this season. A BTW, ever other team didn't like the "top" wr's in this draft either, so not taking one in a reach in the 1st was a leauge wide decision.

 

MR calls the shots. That's his job. Fisher's input and authority are greater now but both should get the blame when we draft poorly.

We don't have enough information on these last 2 drafts to know that we did draft poorly. So why look at it that way now? We can ascertain that they admit the henry pick was wrong based on the johnson pick this year.

 

I don't understand your #1 WR logic. If we wouldn't consider this years' class to have a solid #1 WR, then when would we ever get one? We would have to pick in the top 10 to get a legit #1, but then the last 5 WRs to go top 10 have been Roy WIlliams, Charles Rogers, Mike Williams, Calvin Johnson, Troy Williamson...Out of all those dudes Roy and CJohnson are the ones to play up to their potential. So to grab one of these dudes who are very likely to be #1s would be a great value pick especially because the need is there as well, but instead we wait and grab a carbon copy of the recievers we already have on our roster(6' 195-205, 4.5).

So for all you guys that want #1 WRs, essentially you're telling me that you want us to suck and be picking in the top 10 again, or to mortgage our future and lose draft picks to trade up, I don't like either scenario, when we could just make the damn pick when it comes to us.
