They released a pretty decent Punter in Mesko, but the guy I really like is 2013 UDFA George Winn, a RB out of Cincinnati. I'd bring him in instead of Torain. His contract won't count against the cap if they cut him after week 1, as opposed to Torain's, so he could give the team added Cap and Roster flexibility.
Both, IMO. He had only one good year at Baylor, dominated Senior Bowl week, but that was it. He was overaged and he didn't seem to be passionate about the game.
Look at that scrub DE they traded up for ahead of the Giants to draft in 2010 (Brandon Graham). The Giants stayed pat at 15 and took their guy JPP.
The Eagles and especially the Pats always got kudos from the national media for trading up and down the draft and accumulating picks. They were good at accumulating picks alright, but they didn't do what the draft was essentially about: pick good players. Look at the amount of disappointing picks and busts those two organizations have made in recent years (particularly Philly).
Either it's utterly bizarre that the Bills had 2 Brad Smiths, both played QB & both ended up Reserve/Injured or else the 1 Brad Smith must have been severely injured to get Reserve/Injured twice. :)
Because of his attitude and lack of commitment. That won't impress Coughlin. An interesting cut is Tennessee dropping Velasco. While nothing special he did grade out as middle of the pack among starting C when given a shot
He never has a top pick. He's always at the bottom and he moves down to gather picks.
You can't cherry pick some misses and claim his drafting is poor. He plays the odds. And the odds say a good portion of 2nd-4th rounders won't make it so he gathers more of them.
Bottom line is he finds plenty of young talent and he uses it early. And it works. How does that add up to bad drafting?

The Eagles 2011 draft set the franchise back. 1st and 2nd rounders gone after two seasons, and 3rd rdr no guarantee.
