What a terrible p draft coming off a Super Bowl win. Only Randall did anything at all.
I think I need to puke.
I liked Wilson. Too bad he was injured.
As Parcells said the worse thing to have on your team is a back that fumbles.
Although Zeitler and Jenkins are on the roster now, so that’s cool I guess.
Reuben Randle over TY Hilton ... man that draft is nauseating to review. Seattle crushed that draft.
Kind of like just drafting a QB because you want one even if the one you want is gone.
Diamond in the rough.
The JPP of tight ends.
Answer to our prayers.
And no Pro Bowls
I absolutely hated the Wilson, Apple, Flowers selections. Hated.
I’m sure the inevitable “oh of course you post this in hindsight” trolls will pile on for no reason, but it’s true.
Not saying i always get it right - I was psyched about Prince falling into our laps and he was meh. Hated Wilson, wanted Alshon. Hated Flowers, wanted Gurley (yes, injury and all). Hated Apple, wanted Tunsil.
I was wrong on Odell, hated the pick - although to be fair, I wanted Zack Martin. So kinda wrong ... kinda right. I liked William Joseph ... can’t get em all right.
* Fully acknowledge that it’s easier for me to take a risk with the pick since it doesn’t impact my lively hood whatsoever, but yes Gurley/Tunsil would’ve been my picks over Flowers/Apple. Flowers I just felt was a huge reach, but saw the potential. Apple was just mindblowingly stupid in my eyes. I don’t get it, still don’t - especially with Tunsil falling right into their laps (I know why he fell, I’ll leave the marijuana debate for another time)
I think I spent the whole week before the draft arguing with a poster named Four Aces about why I'd never draft a RB in the 1st Round, and why I didn't think the Giants would.
Good thing he wasn't around last year (at least I don't think he was).
The 2012 - 2017 drafts are pathetic. Pugh, Richburg, Hankins, Kennard, Odell, Collins, Shepard ... 7 players in 6 drafts, 6 of them not on the roster.
Sorry if i missed a player or 2. The point: this is why they’ve sucked. Another draft like last year is needed, big time.
I don't think he was ever going to be the RB. He looked like a real good special teams / 3rd down guy to me

Yep.
This would help determine if opinions are just that.
According to NFL's Next Gen Stats Barkley reached a top speed of 21.91 on his 78-yard TD run. The third fastest speed by a ball carrier this season. Dalvin Cook is the fastest player with a max speed of 22.07.Devin McCourty is 31 years old and he is the second fastest player in the NFL. His top speed is 22.05.
Many players run very fast 40-yard dash times at the NFL Combine and are not among the fastest players. John Ross is an egregious example.
There was nothing Wilson did better than Saquon. I hope this is the last time I see them mentioned in the same sentence.
& it wasn't that great of a draft either.
