The recipe for great success is to let each guy get their own turn to pick a player

Yep.

That is the how the giants do it, Mara its your turn.....tisch its your turn.....coughlin it's your turn.

Am I right?

I mean there just titles and figure heads...

I don't know. They have missed extensively sans the first round.

The stories on Williams and Brewster are the opposite of drafting to the board and drafting players coaches wanted.

I hope they do stick to the board and take the best player. I am not so sure we have seen that yet...

U have to remember last year they wanted a running back pretty badly. They liked Ingram and according to norm they loved Williams but he ended up going to Arizona one spot ahead of us and we took Carter. So we then took Murray. Hard to tell if that was us drafting for need or really having a high grade on Murray.

Williams and Brewster were drafted in 2009.

And the biggest positive reaction in the warroom last yr when they drafted Murray.

You can go by your board and still miss badly. Happens all the time.

Like SP said, I don't really care if it's one person making the decisions, or a group decision with one person having final say. As long as there is discussion with the people who scout these guys for a living and the board is followed pretty closely taking need into consideration, then I think we're doing it as it's supposed to be done.

Sometimes they will go off board when a need presents itself. We hope those happen few and far between, but I can see why that happens too. But there's no guarantee that whoever we would have taken in those spots would pan out either.

The success rate of draft picks is so low, it's hard for me to get too worked up over our misses.

I agree, but we have missed too much in the secondary and on the line to just give them the benefit of the doubt.

in the end none of us are going to care who made the final call if the players are good. That just hasnt happened lately though. We have missed to much so we all over analyze it.

I don't love a guy going off board for his pet cat when I'm assuming he watched no film of said player

I know, in 07 they were very close to losing to the eagles which would have caused them to be left out of the playoffs.

But the bottom line is I don't think tisch and Mara are picking players while Jerry Reese reads scouting reports.

 

[superpunk]

unless we can draft the horseshoe in their ass I'm not exactly looking at them as a model organization. They pick pass rushers with two year life spans. Big fucking deal.

When did Steve Dennis start being so plugged into Valley Ranch?

What was the last insider info that Dennis was right about?

why do people jump on any little blurb to get freaked out about?
