    You just described every bit of reasoning to have never even considered Farley as a first round pick. The pick would have been better used on any player that can play.

    That leads to the frustration with JRob and his drafting issues.

    Unfortunately for Farley, the ACL return rate to even playable levels set the expectations bar maybe higher than it should be. It is difficult to accept that a guy with such high expectations as to get drafted first round, wouldn’t even be able to make the starting roster in the beginning of his second season. No name UDFA are seeing time over him.

    I mean, it was definitely a gamble pick. We had a good squad and a chance at some real talent that could push us to the next level. I think it was a reasonable pick. Even though it currently looks like it probably isn't going to work.

    Exactly correct, he should not have been a first round pick at a position of need and after the Panda mess.
    If CB was a top need...draft Newsome or Campbell...another case of JRob getting too cute

    If it was just a crap shoot, spending several million on GM’s and scouting departments wouldn’t be necessary. JRob has missed on many more early picks than he’s hit and that’s a poor trait for a GM to have.

    First rounders can bust as much as late rounders can excel for any team..my beef with JRob is he tries to get cute with guys coming off injury rather than pick someone who can contribute now. He has made some good picks as well as some good FA signings. I'm sure it's not easy, it is for us after the fact

    acting like he was not damaged goods is sadly not revisionist at all

    First rounders hit at a much higher rate than late rounders. It’s a lot more than him being cute. He’s just not a great talent evaluator. He‘s better than Webster and hired a great coach that gets the most out of his players but he’s now holding this team back with his bad decisions.

    I was super excited about the pick, however, making plays is the job. His plays have been in reverse. It’s not the talent, he just looks lost at times.

    He definitely looked lost against the Bills.

    On that big catch he gave up last week, he wasn't lost. He was in good position and he just couldn't change directions. Then he made the tackle. He'll be more capable of defending that ball year 2 off the knee.

    Out of PFF’s top 25 cornerbacks right now, 7 were selected in the 1st round. Out of the top 50, 11 were drafted in the 1st round. The vast majority of the top corners were not drafted in the 1st.
