They had a really good year due to a really good draft. You gotta give them that much. When's the last time you saw two rookies turn a team totally around?

You can doubt me all you want but that's real world. I would say typically I get 34MPG but at last fillup I got 37MPG, must have been those highway miles on the NJ Turnpike when I went up to be with my sister last week.

And that's with crappy WaWa 87 octane gas, can your Corvette say that??

That's putting the cart before the horse, though. What if Zeke destroys his knee and Dak never throws more TDs than picks for the rest of his career?

Dude. Perspective. One season isn't enough for perspective, not unless your draftees were key contributors to hoisting the Lombardy. A successful draft produces multiple key contributors to either ongoing success or to a championship. Maybe the 'Boys draft will be monumental, but right now the only results that you've got to show for it are 13 wins and a playoff loss. You're talking as if their Canton busts have already been cast - give it time.

If zeke goes on a killing rampage and takes out the entire team, then that's not the draft's fault. We still had a successful draft that has already paid off.

Continuing the analogy, we've already made a big profit off of the money we put in this bank account. If we withdraw everything now, it doesn't change the fact that we already made a profit.

Zeke also seems to have the possibility of pulling some dumb off-the-field move that sees him shipped off to some team that tolerates screw-ups. Oh wait - he's already there. Never mind.

And yes, it's ironic that I complain about how annoying all the draft talk is, and then spend half an hour debating the draft. I need some trainer time to purify myself.

@Jadesfire people are poking fun at your Denali again.

We already got all that could be gotten out of a draft.

Lol, I actually like the "vampire at the door" analogy for some of the garbage threads we see from time to time.

Then you have low standards. Most teams are looking/hoping for personnel that'll provide at least medium-term productivity at their position. Again - you may very well have that, but one season is too soon to declare that. Come back when it's time to pick up the options on their rookie deals.
