Re: I guess no one likes VC.
Also, you know, I liked his thoughts with all of the draft picks last year...
In my mind, it was clear that Cerrato thought that an O-Line of Samuels (Pro-Bowler), Kendall (solid vet starter), Rabach (decent), Thomas (one time Pro-Bowler), & Jansen/Heyer was good for the upcoming year and saw what we all saw last year... that our WR crew was our biggest weakness on offense on a team that went 9-7 with just one solid WR, thinking we were just a couple of pieces away from really going deep. He selected THREE receivers because of the whole "WRs can be a bust" thing, that is true. If we take 3, one has to hit, right? He picked 2 safties with the same logic in mind, and the one picked LOWER (Horton) actually turned out better than the the other (K Moore) The only problem is, he picked one receiver that had only ONE season as a starting WR in college, Devin Thomas, and one WR with knees worse than my grandfather... and one receiver who is a TE, which we happen to be set at. Let me say also that Fred Davis WILL be a great TE in the league. If he were on a team that needed a TE, he would have produced this year IMO. The issues with Thomas & Kelly were obvious to the whole league. Remember, they were supposed to be drafted in the top 25 picks. BUT, Cerrato knew we needed TALL receivers for Zorn's WCO and saw two "1st round projected WRs" and jumped... and I can't blame him for it. Going into the year we had a Pro-Bowl RB & FB, a solid line, and a young developing QB, and a OC that needed "BIG" targets, so again, Cerrato's draft = not bad logic. Also... he DID draft a lineman last year (Rinehart) for the aging GUARDS we have, because we have one Pro-Bowl T (Samuels), one T that still had some legs left (Jansen) and a backup that showed flashes as a rookie (Heyer). BUT... imagine if Zorn wasn't bringing in the WCO... would we been more open to a DeSean Jackson or Eddie Royal? (they aren't the "TALL" receivers the WCO "needs")... anyway, that's not Cerrato, the WCO dictated Thomas and Kelly. Regardless of all of this... lol... we are still SUPER SCREWED at WR right now, well at least Cerrato is. You all KNOW that if we were to sign a FA WR or god forbid draft a WR, then people would be lambasting the fact that the man is an idiot... so, we are going to have the same well below average WRs as this year and HOPE that one gets smart quick (Thomas), one gets Earnest Ainsley to HHHEAAAAL (!) those knees (Kelly), and that Zorn figures out how to use TWO TE's in the WCO (Davis). I know that watching Vinny on TV is very painful... the guy is just WEIRD looking and talks like a recovering cocaine addict from the 80's... but... his only draft he had control over made sense to me.
