Don't get me wrong, I like everything McVay is doing at the moment. But really, most coaching staffs do this. Remember the great purge of most of our roster after Fisher came in? The true test will be in two or three years if, for example, Gerald Everett has turned out to be a bust will McVay cut or trade him as easily as Grob? Probably a bad example as a second round pick compared to #2 overall but you get my point. It's always refreshing to see a new coach cut ties with all the ball and chains the old staff seemed to have cuffed to their legs due to capital investments spent on them.
But, hopefully we're so good and our drafts now and going forward are so awesome McVay will never have to make the decision of cutting a first round pick before their first contact is up.
Kupp has many other skill sets that justify his draft postioning despite his slow 40. I still believe he's destined for the slot, although @jrry32 can illustrate why that may not be true.
I'd like to see the data on that.
Well, I think drafters are "right" more than wrong because the majority of drafted players make the team who drafted them.
Where did you get that data from?
I think this more about the $$$ and the new CBA. It basically forces teams to let go of effective but expensive players that are older...for cost effective replacements like udfa's.
I do get the idea, not sure where you are going with this.
