Because of what the experts were telling us ns what some members believed at the time.
Browner a cast off from the CFL to slow to play in the NFL.
Sherman a WR trying to play CB that was benched by Harbaugh as a WR, too stiff and too slow.
Lynch a malcontent that was benched in Buffalo.
Wilson too small, career back up if he is in the league at all.
Thomas would not be able to hold up in the NFL due to his size.
Chancellor to slow to play safety, too small to play LB, has no position and is to aggressive and bites on plays, not good in coverage.
That's just a few of our top players, this is why I try to look at what we do and how we put our guys in their positions and use their strengths and developing technique to make their short comings strengths.
Our D line is a good example of this as well with Clemons, Bryant, Bennett, Avril who blossomed here after Detroit, they said he was lazy and a product of having Suh on the team.
Why what we see draft day and what we seem game day can be a country mile apart as far as where and how the guys we bring in play in the systems we use them in.
The one place this has not played out well is the O line, but I think it's due to having to much player rotation and position change and lack of continuity. I know that John and Pete have said they want the unit to grow as a unit, which again leads back to our draft and big contract vets possibly not being here much longer. We have to pay our O linemen something on their second contract for them to stay, the only way is to not have 10 plus or there about million dollar corners and safeties. Why a big part of this draft is also in my view a reload, we will have a few years of reasonable costs in the secondary again if our draft is a hit on the secondary players we drafted and brought in.
The experts and many here cannot look at initial draft grades and how they performed in another system and think were going to ask the same thing of them they did where they came from always.
