By misses, I meant high draft picks that are no longer on the roster, which is most of them. Hit percentage on first and second round picks should be pretty high.
No.Didn’t we get Tanny for a 4th?
Lol yup!Man you come across as a douche sometimes. .like no one else is allowed an opinion...the almighty Soxcat has spoken
I was talking in general fans terms when we missed on Wilson and then we take a RT in round 2... "a North Dakota State guy who played only one game last year should come in and start at RT?" maybe should not have been taken in 2? He's been called a reach by a few people that have down the research as you put it... probably reached because of the whiff on Wilson
That's fine, it's a message board, different opinions...I don't expect everyone to agree with my views or each other's but to get critical and come across as a know it all and what they have to say is right and someone else is dumb is not necessary.Lol yup!
but I don’t necessarily agree with your Radunz take.
I like Evans but Robinson has been good at finding backup skill players on the waiver wire and FA. Everyone he's drafted in round 3 except Taylor has been a starter, and it Seems that will be the case with Molden and eventually Rice. A committee RB just wasn't a good value in the third round, unless he can eventually stay healthy and take a significant number of snapsEvans looking like a miss for me too.
yeah but it can and should be avoided. Covid may have had a lot to do with the lack of in person interviews and subtle clues that an interviewer can pick up on. So I'm not as bent as the big blunder he had with Dodd. And JRob should make whoever gave Wilson and Dodd a rec aware that their word is now worth dirt. At the very least.
Ahhhhh, we haven't even started the season yet and we have empty headed posters talking like Radunz is a bust. Let the kid get into year 2 before making such ridiculous comments. JRob signed Lamm and had Quess and Sambrailo (two guys that played LT last year) on the roster. Also, there is nothing wrong with Radunz attitude which was the issue with Wilson and Dodd anyway.
Here is reality. JRob knew he could take an OT based on potential and not have force the kid to start in year one because he had other options.
Here is something interesting to learn from:
"Pretty much all of the Lions rookies have looked pretty good... except the one the team took with the draft’s seventh pick. Penei Sewell has struggled during the preseason. PFF gave him a 38.6 grade on 60 total preseason snaps. What’s worse is that he graded out at 27—yes, 27—in pass blocking. He nearly got Tim Boyle killed against the Colts."

I guess Sewell is a bust?
thats all good and everything but my comments were regarding Wilson and how it’s simply unacceptable to miss that badly. Empty headed readers might easily infer something else smile)
Sure and JRob admitted that and moved on from the mistake.
What more are you supposed to do?
