This year, people are bitching but unlike last year, I think Pioli IS right this year.
You can find NT's and ILB on cut down day that can fill a need. What you can't find are the best young returners in the country, young playmaking slot receivers and young instinctive football players.
They'll probably only win 6-7 games this year. I think 2012 is the year they become a consistent playoff team, IF Pioli's plan works.

That's a good take Dane. I am kind of a C+/B- on this draft but as we both know, shit changes once guys get on the field.
I do think that the return game HAD to be addressed as bad as anything. Last year I dreaded the kick and punts to us because it was like drinking diarrhea. That horrible.
so if McCluster turns into a playmaker and Arenas is Dante Hall 2 people won't say shit.
I'm also getting used to the idea that Pioli knows this will take a little bit of time and isn't trying to fix everything at once. Yeah it means we don't have good nose tackle or inside linebacker play this year, but we've been so awful from top to bottom I guess you gotta start somewhere.
