    Plus we kind of have the butler thing down with both a Butler and a James. So there's that.

    Now we trade up to pick another random db. I'm not going to pretend to know anything about these dudes but it seems forced. I find it hard to beieve they stayed "true to the board". Gettleman let a really good db walk and now seems to force a replacement in there.
    I agree with Collin to an extent. Many of his draft picks haven't worked out.

    I'm not even sure where you think I'm being too harsh. Benjamin? If so, remember that I showed he had a worse catch rate than any year of LaFell and a worse yards per target average than all but LaFell's rookie season. Shaq? Even with Kuechly missing three games and no obvious third linebacker he barely played until late in the season when everyone else was hurt. He didn't make an impact when he was on the field. I'm not saying he's a bust because that's way too soon to call, but Thompson's rookie season was discouraging. Ealy? PFF had his regular season rated as 70th among edge defenders, which was worse than Mario Addison, Jared Allen, and Charles Johnson.

    LaFell was one of the league's worst receivers last year. I'll take Benjamin, thanks.

    A little?
    I understand that Grand Canyon thing is a little deep.

    All those mediocre and sucky players and somehow they found themselves in the Super Bowl.

    That's not the question. The question is whether or not Kelvin Benjamin has been worth that first round pick and as a rookie he absolutely was not. He wasn't good. Hopefully he gets better, but right now it looks like a bad pick.

    So explain where I'm being too harsh.

    Because of players that Hurney drafted.
