Like this draft or hate it, there was a ton of value left on the board, and we passed every time. I mean, if you knew nothing about Carl being fired and Pioli being hired, you'd assume this draft was the work of Carl Peterson - and that is unacceptable, IMO.

This is where I'm at with this draft.
Everyone if the whole f'n NFL has been saying how we got the best GM in football, so I guess my expectations were higher than CP.
And the 1st thing he does is trade a high #2 (almost a #1) for career backup, bypass good players at areas of need in FA, and then executes several picks in the draft that seem like reaches.
I had faith in DV and Herm and where did that get me? So I just can't be a "blind homer" any longer.
I'm very frustrated, but I hope I'm proven wrong. Hey, at least our division didn't get much better and maybe a year or two we look back on this and everyone says "Damn, that's why he's the best GM in football."
I sure hope so.
