Why do we suck in 2007? Blame our drafts and King Carl. Evidence can't be denied.

I agree with most everyone here that from the 2003 LJ/Jared Allen drafts we have been doing a good job with our drafts. But we are still suffing in 2007 because of these draft years between Tony G and LJ.

I'm not going to even bother with Free Agents. JEEZZZ if King Carl has one good FA pick up I don't remember and in 17 years of picking up FA's seems I should remember one?

Ever heard of a guy named Priest Holmes??

This was discussed on some radio show. DV had control of the first day of the draft. The scouts had control of the second day.

Whether the people on the radio knew what they where talking about or just speculating is up for debate. But it makes good sense to me

Whoopdy-freakin-doo. Carl's whiffs outnumber his hits by about 10 to 1. He's simply pathetic.

Beat me to it. But I think he might be talking about the undrafted free agents.

Wile_E_Coyote · 10-08-2007, 10:28 AM

T-Rich was an undrafted FA. He may have had a cup of coffee with Dallas

Correct. How many of those undrafted free agents have the Pats/Indy got in the last few years? There is an obvious corelation. So, we have a handful in 17 years of trying? Thats good enough to keep your job?

Also if you rememeber right Priest was brought in to be a 3rd down back not the feature back. Tony Richardson was going to be the feature back.

The team that Dick Vermeil left after 2005 had the least amount of good young talent of any team in the league.

LJ (and Dick didn't want him)
Jared Allen
Derrick Johnson

That's it. That is an amazingly empty cupboard. it's getting fixed now, but it won't happen overnight.

HolyHandgernade · 10-08-2007, 10:37 AM

Wasn't Willie Roaf a free agent pickup?

Trade, 3rd rounder IIRC.

You forgot about Kris Wilson.

Nope. A conditional pick which became a 3rd rounder in 2003.

HolyHandgernade · 10-08-2007, 10:41 AM

Thanks for the reminder.

Actually, I didn't. He's not a consistent, physical player. He needs replacing.
