By misses, I meant high draft picks that are no longer on the roster, which is most of them. Hit percentage on first and second round picks should be pretty high.
Tired of drafting oline early in drafts. We need to find the Big country type and develop. This draft had many like that.
You have to bang away on the lines with early picks, both sides of the ball. It’s the boys up front that really win and lose games for you. It’s always been the big boys.
Going to be hard to re sign every high pick worthy of an extension with a $30 million QB and a top paid RB. Gotta pick and choose your battles sometimes.
Our core players all JRob high draft picks sprinkled in with some FA signings.
Core players:
Henry
AJB
Julio (2nd round pick)
Tannehill (4th round pick)
Simmons
Byard
Dupree (FA signing)
Landry
Lewan (wasn’t JRob pick)
The problem is no one complaining here is prepared to compare JRob to other GM’s in the league. JRob has had his misses for sure. Not re signing any 1st round picks so far is tough. But compare him to any other GM in the league. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a lot of guys who’ve built a better roster. Especially GM’s who have been doing it as long as he has and you can fairly judge draft picks.
No.
We got Tanny AND a 6th round pick for a 4th.
That 6th round pick became David Long Jr.

That's fine, it's a message board, different opinions...I don't expect everyone to agree with my views or each other's but to get critical and come across as a know it all and what they have to say is right and someone else is dumb is not necessary.
I like many didn't like the Radunz pick in 2... especially after the Wilson pick and what I've read about him being better suited as a Guard, I think it comes across as a reach and panic move due to the Wilson whiff. Pre-draft reports say he lacks maturity and poor practice habits?
Hope he turns out.
I like Evans but Robinson has been good at finding backup skill players on the waiver wire and FA. Everyone he's drafted in round 3 except Taylor has been a starter, and it Seems that will be the case with Molden and eventually Rice. A committee RB just wasn't a good value in the third round, unless he can eventually stay healthy and take a significant number of snaps
We also need to take in to account that JR traded a done Jurrell Casey and turned that 7th round pick into a 6th in 2021 and got Brady Breeze. We got something for a player who didn’t ever play again. Plus the salary cap relief.
Who knows what Breeze will be, but it’s more than Casey was going to be.
These are the types of deal GMs make that they should be judged on.

Gonna be intriguing to see how Dez performs in practices now that all the pressure is off.
I don’t think the pressure is off yet. He better step it up or there will be another promising prospect in his chair. The roster changes all season long. JR constantly churning the PS.
Ahhhhh, we haven't even started the season yet and we have empty headed posters talking like Radunz is a bust. Let the kid get into year 2 before making such ridiculous comments. JRob signed Lamm and had Quess and Sambrailo (two guys that played LT last year) on the roster. Also, there is nothing wrong with Radunz attitude which was the issue with Wilson and Dodd anyway.
Here is reality. JRob knew he could take an OT based on potential and not have force the kid to start in year one because he had other options.
Here is something interesting to learn from:
"Pretty much all of the Lions rookies have looked pretty good... except the one the team took with the draft’s seventh pick. Penei Sewell has struggled during the preseason. PFF gave him a 38.6 grade on 60 total preseason snaps. What’s worse is that he graded out at 27—yes, 27—in pass blocking. He nearly got Tim Boyle killed against the Colts."

I guess Sewell is a bust?
thats all good and everything but my comments were regarding Wilson and how it’s simply unacceptable to miss that badly. Empty headed readers might easily infer something else
smile)Not sure it makes much difference how you miss. A guy simply doesn't want to play or a guy tries real hard and still sucks. Not acceptable either way. In this case Radunz is going to try. Now wait to see how that works out by giving the kid some time. He might end up like Dodd but we certainly don't know that now.
We have a great Roster now anc can compete for a Super Bowl. Before JRob it was trash…forever. Case closed.
This is hilarious
Ja'Marr Chase Said He Keeps Dropping Passes Because The NFL Ball Is Too Hard To See
Wonder what stats AJ would have got if he could have seen the ball better his rookie year lol

Sure and JRob admitted that and moved on from the mistake.
What more are you supposed to do?
Don't make that mistake again. Pretty simple.
Let's not generate some argument over a simple opinion.
