I'll post this for the ONE-HUNDREDTH TIME (yes, I've been counting). I said this the day that Scot was hired: He needed THREE years to make us competitive. It's been 2. He's done a great job of turning over the roster and getting guys to buy in to the system and direction. The team is trending up. They are NOT there yet and he still has work to do. Edit.... And before you say it, yes, you have a right to be concerned about certain decisions he's made, but take a step back for once and assess the overall before chastising the guy. This and a 1000 times this!! I can't believe we still have people ****ing about the Scherff pick!! Scherff fills a huge hole, and likely will for a decade or more. He also brings a toughness and work ethic that was needed to help transform the locker room. In the meantime L Williams did what exactly? He is one dimensional so far and has been very under whelming. Not to mention the 2nd rd pick Smith has totally outplayed Williams! Scot has and will make some mistakes. But that is not one of them. Need to let that **** go and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Sudfeld is the man. My man crush lives on. If he can supplant Colt as the #2 next year it will be of great benefit to the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 So, unless I'm mistaken, here's what's remaining from the Shanahan drafts: 2010: Trent Williams. Perry Riley hung around until this year. 2011: Kerrigan, Niles Paul. Out of 12 picks. 2012: Kirk Cousins. Ribbs was cut this year. 2013: Jordan Reed. I'm pretty sure that's it. That's 1 player on the team per draft, with the exception of 2011. which has 2. This is what you would consider to be "bad." 2014 still has Murphy, Moses, Long, Breeland and Grant. So, in the "Allen" draft, they probably wiffed on their first pick of Murphy, but he's at least still around. Moses is a starter, Long might be, Breeland is, and Grant is a GREAT inactive 6th receiver. 2015, which is only a year ago, seems extremely promising with Sherff, Smith, Jones and Crowder all starters, and Kouandjio, Spaight and Reiter all still on the roster. Clearly, nothing is known about the 2016 draft since they haven't taken the field yet. But there are some definite positive outlooks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlueIndian Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thank you ! Finally someone on here who is grounded in reality. The dline may not be much..... but an upgrade from Cofield, jenkins, carriker, whatever other garbage we picked up from our nfc east rivals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 We've been complaining about OL for years and in 2 drafts, the first guys McGloughan looks at are Scherff and Kelly. Believe you me that he would have taken Kelly with the first pick if the Colts hadn't jumped him. I want to add (And I think someone else mentioned this) that Scot not only looks at the current season, but he makes picks and signs players based on what he wants to do in future years. Something previous regimes never did as they clogged up our future salary caps with stupid long term signings. Scot will not sign anyone that will compromise our future years.

@DCGoldPants Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yes. Shanny was an awful "GM". And yes, he likes to pretend now that he was forced to do x, y, and z. But that's bull**** and only Kevin Sheehan is still eating it. He had final say. He was glowing (more than usual) about the front office control when he signed. So, let's put that one to bed.

We just gonna need some others to step up. Hopefully we can acquire another solid DL/LB before the season starts. We can be better, but I have confidence in our D going to this season. Not to mention Baker's a solid rusher/disruptor and that we will probably look to blitz more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More, if next year or in two years down the road Crowder and Doctson turn into our starting wide receivers that will mark a pretty smooth transition. Next year, we almost certainly will lose at least one guy (Garcon or Jackson). It's nice that we have high potential guys and guys who can contribute (Crowder, Grant, Ross) already lining up behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
