But we are middle on board at best when it comes to draft day.

Also keep in mind not every draft pick is going to be a winner. Then add the fact that instead of filling the one or two glaring holes we had on the team by "drafting for need" the team management chose to go the "best overall player" route and we ended up with a TE we truely didn't need, a Punter we truely didn't need and if we did, why couldn't they make the punter work? all he has to do is stand back there and grab the ball out of the air and take two steps and punt. Instead it seems we have no one out on the edge to stop the rush. Everytime we punt I cringe waiting for the blocked punt. Their close everytime. Then watch us on punt returns and you will see not one man even gets close to the opposing punter. Why? what are we doing differently or wrong. Why is it that everytime ARE stands back to punt return he has a man in his face and has to down the ball? Other teams are pushing the ball up field. back to my soap box...we picked up a QB we really didn't need. or maybe we did. We all knew what we needed out of the draft...1 or 2 DT's who were young, healthy and could collapse a pocket. A bigger DE. We have a smaller speedier DE in Carter, what we needed was the power rushing DE on the other side. O-line anywere. Just a young healthy warm body. Heyer is good for what he was ...a non drafted o-lineman. He's a nice fill in when needed but he's not a stand out or a difference maker. and last but not least we needed WR and S. We drafted for those positions.
