Fisher filled a hole, Johnson filled a hole and you could argue that Kelce filled a hole. The rest of the players they drafted are project picks. Davis was RB depth with huge injury and ball security concerns. Commings is DB depth with character issues. Kush is a division 2 player who'll be o-line depth at best. Fullback is a position that's been all but cycled out of today's NFL, so Wilson's more of a luxury pick and Catapano, while potentially a sleeper is a project. None of those are need picks.
Now I'm not saying any of those (with the possible exception of Davis and Wilson) are bad, just saying they weren't the kind of picks that would leave a gaping hole anywhere if they weren't made. |

That's my best guess, as well.

It's interesting because Elway has said he thought Osweiler would be the first QB taken in this year's draft. Pretty much threw this draft class under the bus.

I totally get the negativity but I remember before the draft that people were talking how Dorsey filled all of the major holes (except ILB) in FA and would have the freedom to pick BPA throughout the draft. It wasn't done the way I would have done it (didn't like the Davis pick at all) but it is pretty clear to me that they think they are doing it that way. |

People who harp on tight ends don't now Reid's offense. In Reid's offense, Celek is sometimes nipping at 1,000 yards. We got a guy who might get us 600-800 yards and be a valuable blocker. |

I say it's a good draft if they all 3 become starters and plug holes we need filled. There are too many holes in this team to fill in one year. |

And I want to reiterate that I have been one of the more positive posters about the players they drafted this weekend. The only picks I really question are Knile Davis and Braden Wilson. My main issue with this draft was and is the loss of the 34th pick. I think we gave up too much for Alex Smith, I think we'd have been better served with a free agent veteran quarterback and spending the 2013 and 2014 second rounders on draft picks. But I'm fine with everyone they drafted. My question was simply why they seem so averse to drafting a project quarterback as opposed to, let's say, a project RB, or a project DB, or a project C, or a project DE. Philosophical thing, and it's not just related to this draft. |
