Yeah, but is JI or whoever is the GM going to pick smart??? Let see I remember years back we had an option to get Brees and they selected undersized CB Jamar Fletcher... Then one year they select with their first pick (I believe in the 2nd round) LB Eddie Moore (WTF) (still scratching my head on that pick) Then good old Mr Ted Ginn (bad pick in 1st round by far) They need to hit on these picks in next years draft and fill the positions of need...
Well, Thank God Wanny is gone and then Cam Cam. With Ireland, everyone seems to rememebr his bad moves, and there were plenty. But most GM's have plenty of bad moves on their resume. We have to also remember he did find Jake Long (duh - first pick and an easy call at the time) as was Pouncey. He brought in Hartline, Wake (did he find Bess as well or was it somebody else?). He brought in Starks, and a few others as well. I'm not convinced yet, but I'm really interested now that we have some coaching and are rebuilding for real and have some picks to work with. These next 2 drafts are going to be very different IMO. I'm also interested in how he uses the extra picks to move around. Will he set us up for the next draft by trading down a couple of times?
