Your the mod, your forum, your rules, got it!

I broke it dowwn a couple years ago so it may have changed, but, essentially, we were hitting on our draft picks with the same success rate that NE was. Pre-Shanallem, we traded picks away like they were going out of style so even though the success rate was similar, we had fewer players to show for it.

Considering that under Shanallen, we have drafted 27 players since Shanallen got here, and only 2 of those guys are no longer in the NFL, I would suggest that from a draft perspective, we have seen a sea change in the way this team is being built. Does it continue? We'll see. Will translate into a change on the field. Hopefully. Given the youth movement beginning in 2010, I would hope we see the transition this year.

It's game three. We have a tough schedule and real issues on the line and defensive backfield. At the same time, we have youth at both positions (Gomes, Bernstein, Crawford, Gettis, Compton, LeRibeus, Hurt). Does it develop? Hope so.

But it's the Skins so, if we cut them, they will inevitably be superstars elsewhere. Good thing we have had home grown talent to sustain us like London Fletcher, Santana Moss, Steve Bowen ... oh, wait.
