So in your estimation, who or how many have done a better job drafting and adding FAs than Fish and Co.in this stint with the Rams? I'm not saying there haven't been but I'm having a hard time pulling them out of my brain.
Never said I agreed with how I was reading his post.
It depends on how a few players turn out.
2012 there's question marks over whether Brockers will ever be elite, we had one of the worst pass Ds ever for completion percentage and yards per attempt last season so question marks over Jenkins and Johnson. Quick has been disappointing so far despite his hype this off season. Pead is one of the worst picks the Rams have made in recent years. Givens is a nice number 6 receiver. We could have come away with a Pro Bowler in Brockers and I'm not writing off Jenkins from that and we have 2 potential + starters in Johnson and Quick. At the moment it's a C draft for me, 2014 will determine if it's an A or an F, it could go either way.
2013 was much better, I'd already give it an A, but we used a 1st and 2nd round pick to trade up for a player who Holt yesterday predicted would have his biggest contribution on special teams, that's unacceptable for me. Ogletree has all the potential in the world, he just needs to put it together. McDonald was a good pick. Stedman was very promising, but can he get his head on straight? Stacy carried the team at times once Sam went down but still had a sub 4 yard per carry average, which can't be the case this year.
Overall I'm satisfied with the drafting so far, both drafts can become A drafts, but both can easily be worse, ultimately I'll judge them on their third year record, another losing season and I don't care about individuals, we have a winning season and he's got at least another year.
As for FAs Cortland was an undeniable bust, Wells hasn't played a full season yet, Langford and Hayes have been nice low cost adds, the deserve a lot of credit for Barksdale. I'll never be satisfied with Cook until he learns to catch the ball, and for what we're paying him he should be in the 3-5 range at his position not what he is. And Long was a nice pick. I'd say they've failed in FA more than the draft.
