Spear Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Gardner and McCants were Marty picks and are out of the league. Jacobs was a Spurrier pick and is out of the league. Cliff Russell was a speedster project that never panned out and is surprisingly still playing in the NFL. So, I say we're really 0 for 1 since 2000, not counting this year's class. The people responsible for the other 3 are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paloosa Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 What is wrong with this site and the people who post on here? Is the team expected to win every game, draft rookies that make an immediate impact, get a new owner, break the bank on a guy in FA no matter if he fits your system or not, and everything will be alright. Thomas and Kelly were the two of the top rated WR's in the draft and everyone on here was calling for us to draft them among other guys that aren't even on teams. Manningham, Sweed, and others that were rated among them aren't even playing. So are they considered busts also? or Are they given the benefit of the doubt because they can sit and watch the first team WR's on those teams until they learn the offense? You guys sound like the so-called "experts." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 :laugh: :laugh: I try not to judge a player before he even takes the field for the team. Great to know that YOU are such a football expert that you KNOW Malcolm Kelly is going to be a bust. What, did George Halas come to you in your sleep and whisper in your ear? :laugh: Put down the crack pipe and give your brain a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Of course I wish our guys had had immediate impacts like jackson or royal, but that is more the exception than the rule. While I agree that both these guys could be potential busts, it is WAYYYYY to early to say that. They also could be potential all stars. Time will tell. Why is this thread still open?

CRobi21 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Why is this thread still open? It's been disputed many of times. But the board has come to the consensus that the mods, do actually sleep at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Those WRs were taken by different coaches for different schemes than what we currently run. How many times have the Browns failed at drafting various positions? A lot. Yet Edwards, Winslow (who many wrote off as a bust) and Joe Thomas all look legit. To go even further, until Cooley when was the last time we drafted a good TE? Robert Royal, Stephen Alexander, Jamie Asher, all busts. I guess that means our records show Cooley won't be any good, especially since we apparently aren't looking before 2001. I guess Roethlisberger won't be any good since the Steelers haven't drafted a good QB since Bradshaw in 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Since this website has been nothing but Debbie Downskins , figured I'd put in my two cents ....WR's we have drafted since 2001 2001 Round 1 - Rod Garner Round 5- Darnerien McCants 2002 Round 3 - Cliff Russel 2003 Round 2 - Taylor Jacobs - We are 0 for 4 ... ALL BUSTS Took chances on 4 different guys. All 4 were terrible. Why should these be any different? Hopefully the difference will be to stick with Campbell and realize ONCE AGAIN he is learning a NEW OFFENSE .. Give him time & let him learn. Although I know we are all tired of waiting to win , and unfortunately by the time he does learn .. The clock might be over for Thomas and Kelly as Redskins .... The more misses we have the more likely we finally get a hit. That is just how odds work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuchip703 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I guess we should only draft DB/S then from now on...because that is the only thing we have had much luck with.. ..Champ, Taylor, Landry, Smoot, Rogers, whoops....Tryon.. Damn...are we allowed to draft anyone.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
