I keep trying to explain this to the complainers. This team has won 5 total games in the past two seasons. We are a looooooong way away and this is gonna be a two year turnaround at absolute minimum. There aren't very many spots which aren't "needs". Sticking to your board and going BPA is the smart route. Also fixing the pass rush will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of the secondary, regardless of who is back there.
He runs nor looks anything like dane.
Other posters stated Sankey was as good as every back taken after Henry. Keep up.
We filled our biggest glaring need with a guy who can start right away. We then added some nice depth guys who can develop. Actually, I think Johnson could probably start at NT.
Can't ask for too much more out of a draft
Sankey will be gone...keep up.
Duh, I already stated that as a positive of selecting Henry.
Maybe you should read this thread?
So who will be the RBs out?
We have Murray, Henry, Andrews, Cobb, Sankey, and McCluster.
Sankey is definitely a goner. Who's the other one? DMC?

McCluster stays until we find another return man.
Andrews surely has to be gone if its close between him and Cobb. I think they're both trash but Cobb is a second year player.
Sankey offers a little bit of a difference in style but he sucks anyways so I bet hes gone.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Cobb Andrews and Sankey all cut and we find a fourth RB in waivers/UDFA.

Of those 3, I could see Cobb as the last man standing.
Seems like the trend of missing in the 2nd continues. Sad to think we had 3 2nd rounders and we missed on them all. Should have took myles jack.
That's right, don't question the GM selections or have a negative opinion!
Yeah but you like being miserable
Fowler, Henry and Murray are the only ones safe.
DMC should go unless we cannot find someone else to return.
Andrews could develop into a backup at both TB and FB and add some value along with special teams.
Sankey and Andrews can contribute on special teams which give them a big edge on Cobb.
Don't forget special teams, it often determines who stays and who goes.
So the draft isn't over and you already can see that we missed on all 3 selections? That's pretty incredible..... And if all 3 turn out to be great players, what then?
Not only that but I think people also forget the number of DB's we signed in FA, we signed an ILB as well. Personally I think flipping the time of possession in our favor is going to do more for our defense overall than any single player we could have drafted anyway. I firmly believe Henry, Conklin, Jones and Murray as well as playing guards at guard instead of Tackle will also improve things LMAO.
Then I'll admit i was wrong if they turn out better than who i thought we should have took. Jack Robinson etc
It's one thing to have a negative opinion... it's a completely other thing to run to the phone to call whine one one for a waaambulance as a few posters have repeatedly... over and over and over and over... did I mention over and over and over? Cry or whine about our picks?That's right, don't question the GM selections or have a negative opinion!
My point is, SO WHAT? 1. We as fans don't see the same things the people getting paid to do this are seeing (and please let's not pretend any of us truly know, I love this pick myself I'm also a realist, no prospect is a sure thing). 2. The common theme in this draft is "football players", maybe not the big name guys but if you look at their production at the college level these guys performed (all of them regardless of middle tennessee state or Alabama). 3. All are also humble, high character guys (not sure about the last 2 picks). 4. I'm not sure if you noticed or not but 3 of our first 4 picks were guys who competed in teams fighting for the national championship teams (Michigan State, Clemson and Alabama) as well. You might ask why I mention this... they were on teams that win football games and I hope everyone can understand how adding guys used to winning will help change the culture of a team that has been used to losing for quite some time.
He wanted to take a LB with a degenerative knee lol
I'm gonna drop a load in my drawers the first time he runs someone over.
