That's always been the case. A combination of Haley and Emery.

Look at the quality of the 2009 class as opposed to the 10/11 classes.

It's not even close.

That smiley says one of two things:

You think our last two drafts have stunk (which would be a fools opinion, I don't think that's the case here)

You think Piolis ability to draft effectively had more to do with his own abilities rather than the guys that he made his decisions based on their information.

...

Even if you guys hated Haley, Let's not forget that Haley grew up around scouts that built dynasties through effective drafting. I absolutely think he had a huge part to do with the last two really good drafts and that his input on prospects will be sorely missed.

It would be pretty comical if Emery left and we had another 2009esque class.

Tragic not comical.

With Pioli we had a draft full of "who?" and "WTF?"

With Haley/Emery in house we had two "balla ass GM" drafts.

I hope to god we don't go back to the former.

Speaking of McCluster, how long are you forced to wear that sig?

Whole offseason.

At least unlike SlowMo, he honored the bet. He's still posting as a Bronco fan just putting this :cuss: after everything.

What? Emery and Haley were here during the 2009 draft too.

Haley wasn't here in 2009? Why are you just making shit up?

Emery was hired after the draft.

Haley was hired in mid February due to the Superbowl run.

I expect us to take a big step back in April if Emery leaves.

darn, we've lost the talented personnel two headed monster of Haley and Emery.

I mean, really?

LMAO

Who are the hidden gems that Emery found?

Our UDFA's have been dogshit. Yeah, he hit on Eric Berry. A blind dog could have picked Eric Berry.

Houston was a no-brainer, Hudson was a standout.

Emery is no big loss.

Powe
Lewis
Succop
Houston
Asamoah
Belcher
Bailey
Moeaki

Stanzi

Shit, our drafts after the first two rounds have been as good as ANY TEAM IN FOOTBALL the last two years and our early picks have been solid players or emerging superstars. It's just too bad Thomas Jones did what he did prior to the season, Baldwin could be a guy with a lot of buzz going forward.

Shit, people still hate on Dexter even after he had 850 yards from scrimmage IN HIS SECOND YEAR. The way he came alive once we had a real quarterback should give his future here real promise.

The 2011 draft of ours was better than the 2008 class if you take out the Jared Allen factor.

If Stanzi and Powe hit, it could be one of the best classes we have EVER had...though it will NEVER be the best because of that HOF class in the 60s.
