The only way I buy your point is if Jerruh and Spawn get their incompetent asses up in their owners box and hire a real GM. Then and not until then will I concede your point. There is absolutely nothing to indicate anything has changed. Factor Dak into the equation and we are double screwed. Just trying to keep it real.
If the money truly is the ONLY thing Jerruh cares about he doesn't possibly pass on the golden goose.

Another draft in the books. Don't think the first two picks bust unlike the last two years but this team is miles from competing.
I think it was a decent draft, but I don't think it was good enough to move us up the NFC East pecking order. The Eagles' draft was slightly better imho, as was the Giants'. The Skins didn't have many picks so it's hard to tell if they improved much, but they have a good, young, mobile QB in place and we don't.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if we were picking top 10 (maybe even top 5) in the draft next year, where surely Jerry is going to pick our QB of the future, right? Right?

The Giants draft is probably only "good" if Dart turns into their long term answer at QB, and its obviously too soon to know that. They would appear to have cornerstone players at a number of key positions (pass rushers, DT, LT, WR, good safeties) but the jury is out on QB and they don't have much at CB either. I think they are probably a yr or so away.

Philly seems to have had a decent draft, although Campbell does have a significant shoulder injury and those can turn into major problems for LB's, but I do like some of their others picks too. Philly also lost a number of really good players in free agency. They had a nearly perfect yr last yr and had no major injuries, the odds of that happening again are pretty slim I'd say.

Washington didn't have a good draft IMO and while they deserve major props for kicking the Lions ass last yr in Detroit (albeit a Detroit defense that had almost no starters by then), they barely made the playoffs and we came this <> close to sweeping them even though we had a team ravaged by injuries and started 3 different QB's. Their "all in" moves this yr produced an older LT that led the NFL in penalties last yr and has slipped in game ability quite a bit over the last several seasons, and trading for a WR who people hooed and hollered over but actually had far worse numbers than Jalen Tolbert last yr.

There's def a gap between us and Philly, but I don't think there's any gap between us and Washington, and we have more talent than the NYG.

Guyton and Kneeland are nowhere near busts right now. Mazi made some strides last yr and even Schoonmaker got better as the yr wore on, when he got his chance to be the #1 for Ferguson he produced.

I think Quinn set Mazi back a ways by having him lose tons of weight and be a "pass rusher", that's not his game and never was. He needs his bulk and strength (which is what got him drafted high in the first place)
