You do, but you also need to pull at least one impact player out of your drafts. None of these guys make a real impact. Even if they are not everydown players, you need difference makers, and thses guys just aren't.
I do think these guys will contribute, but to what?

Page and Pollard are going to be good players. I think Hali is a solid starter if he's moved back to left end. Webb is a solid role player. I think it's a good draft overall. Better than Vermeil's, anyway.

you're an idiot if you think pollard and page are ever going to be good starting safeties in the NFL. apparently the chiefs agree since they spent the pick on morgan

Yeah, they drafted Morgan because of their concern for Page and Pollard, not because of the ridiculous value he was in the 3rd round...

:rolleyes:

Christ, Page was a SEVENTH round pick. The fact that he's still on the roster is against all odds, much less as a contributing factor.

FFS, people are ridiculous.

Page is already a good player. He's THE reason we can stop Gates when we play San Diego. Pollard has already shown strides this year.

But keep hating. Keep grasping at straws to discredit Herm.

Hali has proven that he can't play the run on either side...he just gets destroyed. He is ideally a #3 DE.

Webb has done nothing. Nothing. And hopefully will disappear once Franklin is healthy.

Page and Pollard are ok, but neither are the complete package. And both will be drafted over - a la morgan - until we find better players...imo.

Basically that draft gave us 3 role players. Better than DV, for sure. But not good enough.

2006 Draft for the whole NFL pretty much blows balls.

Hali was getting his ass kicked by the RT in run defense soundly.

He is a role player, at best.

i dont need to do anything to discredit Herm. the fact that this team has gotten worse every year of his tenure discredits him. the fact that we've lost more games in a row than some teams have in their history discredits him. they still can't play the pass. they will still never start on a good defense in the NFL. keep drinking the kool-aide if you want

A guy who gets 7-8 sacks a year is a solid starter in this league. And Gunther was right - he missed five sacks clean last season.

Hali doesn't get enough credit around here.

Its one thing to rebuild. But we can't win games with the way Herm is conducting this offense. This isn't 1950.

i'll make sure we keep lauding him for sacks he didn't make.

by this logic greg wesley and bernard pollard might be the most prolific tacklers in NFL history

A guy who gets his ass run over as a run defnder, and gets 7-8 sacks as a pass rusher is a situational pass rusher.

That would be his role.

But only on the left side, because I don't think he's gotten close enough to the QB this year to be heard by him if he yelled at the top of his lungs.

and Linn Elliot was perfect...by that standard

Tony and Thigpen are gay lovers.
