It seems like the majority of the "fans" on here are crying over our entire draft thus far. It's pretty annoying and ignorant. Regardless of who is picked, it is near impossible to tell how that person will translate their playing abilities to the NFL level. Some "no-brainer" prospects turn out to be complete busts while others come out of no where and grab a starting position within a year or two.

Scouts said that Tomlinson wouldn't make it on the NFL level, Philly fans booed McNabb on draft day, and most of us here on these boards went nuts when the Bucs didn't draft Mike Williams.

Calm down, wait for the minicamps, training camp, and preseason before you start judging our draft. There is no way to tell how these players will produce on the NFL level, yet.

We can watch all the college tape, combine tape, and senior bowl tape we want; but still isn't a 100% accurate portrayal of how these players will be on the NFL level. We won't know until they actually suit up with the rest of the vets and play right along side of them.

Hold your horses, quit your crying, and find something better to do.

The Sears pick i don't agree with. I think that we could have done more to get more draft picks with the amount of trades in the second round. We could have trade down more then once and still pick up Sears and also get extra picks this year and next year.

Totally agree Pirate. You never know about a player until they start playing. Most of the threads on this board are "Who the hell", or "Why did we" or "This guy sucks". Probably the same people that complained when Lynch, Sapp, Brooks, and even Selmon were drafted!!! The folks in the front office get paid alot of coin to make these decisions and I'm sure they have done much more homework than just "Google-ing" someone. Relax!!!
