That's 2 good picks out of six.
2004 draft was pure shit. Two players from that draft are on your roster. DJ looks like a bust and Shoate is a scrub.
Now look at the years prior. Deltha O'Neal? Willie Middlebrooks? Lelie? George Foster? Shitbags like Terry Pierce, Paul Toviessi and Darius Watts in the second round?
Overall, Shanny sucks in the draft. |
Darrent was a good player. That he passed away does not somehow invalidate that. I classified that as a hit. Paymah was my "half" pick. He is a good dime back and might be a good nickel back too. Foxworth was good we both agree. Clarett a bust, we both agree. Myers another hit (esp for a 6th rounder). Ernster is a bust, we agree. We arent disagreeing much here, GoChiefs. 3.5 out of 6.
DJ is NOT a bust. You are just saying to get under MY skin specifically when you KNOW it is not true. He is an outstanding will, a solid Sam and is learning the Mike position with one pretty good game so far, one decent game and one poor game. He's been a very good starter for the Broncos for several years now. Even at Sam, PFW said he was the 9th best OLB in the entire league, even out of position. So it is ignorant to say he is "looking like a bust" when he has been a very good player for several years. I wish he was never moved from Will, he probably would have been in his first or second pro bowl by now. Unfortunately, Shanny made decisions based on favorite sons rather than merit and brought back that puny POS Gold when he had no business returning to this team. I classified Tatum as a hit given that by his last year here, he was a pretty good player and served as a solid starter even if he wasnt a great fit for the team. He was very productive in 06 and pretty productive in a rotation the last few years prior. He also provided most of the compensation to the Lions to get Bly, so he contributed alot of value to this team. Shoate is kinda like Paymah where it is a half a hit type of thing. He's a good dime guy, he isnt very fast but he's smart and a strong corner (physically). He is a good contributor. When I noted 30%, the final guy I was thinking of was Sapp (UDFA 2004 Draft), but if I wanted to i could push it with half a hit for Shoate but I took the more conservative route so as not to be homer.
I already said 2003 was 0%, you brought up some of those names, I dont know what you are thinking there, I already said 2003 was a disaster, but that is one of many drafts and outside of that we have done pretty well.
