    Yeah, also known as a "tackle them after they get the first down" defense.

    Bend but don't defend.

    Agreed, can't keep trading away our drafts. We never seem to be dealing players for picks, we're always dealing picks for free agents, mostly free agents with a lot of wear on the tires.

    Man, I hate giving picks away for free agents. It's such a terrible strategy.

    Tannenbaum is just setting us up for another rebuilding period. 2006 is the best draft class in recent memory and we only got 3 starters out of it. Eric Smith is a borderline starter. Still, we got coleman, b smith and e smith, all are decent bench players. It's just been downhill from there. 2007 gave us Revis and Harris, so it's not a wash, 2008, well ... what can I say with Gholston, Keller was a good pick though.

    You can't sustain a good team by producing an average of 1.5 starters per draft.

    Kind of off topic, but why is everyone calling that play a double reverse? It was just a reverse, and there wasn't even a counter with the first handoff if I remember correctly.

    You can't fault them for picking Gholston. What do they say about hindsight? Some had reservations about him -- his work ethic and the fact that his stats slanted mostly towards one great college game -- but many were high on him.

    I always say, the NFL draft is a crapshoot. Sometimes you score big. Sometimes you just get crap. This time, it looks like we got unlucky and chose the latter. Not Tanny's fault.

    Cassell said before he was taken on draft day that there were 20 GMs who didn't think Gholson was worthy of a top 20 pick. I think you can definitely fault them for not being one of the 20.

    Dude Tanny has been acquiring talent through, FA, trades and the draft that have went to the probowl. How can you be upset. I would not give up on Vernon yet.

    Right a guy who barely threw a pass at USC is going to know this and Cassel and Vernon were different draft classes so how would he know this.

    Aside from Gholston it's hard to argue with the job Tannenbaum has done, and Gholston is only in year two. Of course he has to get Leon signed, too, or that will top the list of fuck ups.

    Boy, Dev, that's quite the combo of retarded posts.

    Kris Jenkins, Darrelle Revis, David Harris, Nick Mangold, Thomas Jones, Leon Washington and Dustin Keller are some of the best players on our team, and some of the best players in the NFL. We got them all through trades of some sort. And the free agents we traded for- Woody, Faneca, Richardson, Pace- were worth the draft picks we had to give up.

    Teams that keep their draft picks, and even stockpile them, are some of the most consistent teams in the league: Giants, Patriots, Eagles. Plain and simple. Trading away picks is just not a good policy, I don't care who you are, or what you think. You don't see Belidouche trading away his drafts every year do you? How about Andy Reid and the Eagles? I'm not saying that there aren't exceptions; there are indeed -- Revis and Jenkins are both examples that I would agree with. But for every Revis and Jenkins, there's a Doug Jolley (ouch!). However, at the end of the day teams with few draft picks end up going through rebuilding periods and are inconsistent. Plain and simple. Look at the redskins.
