Luke Willson is not an above average player. I don't know that he'd be on the 2-deep on any other team. KPL, Britt, Marsh and Richardson? I like Richardson, but I don't think any of the others contribute on any other team. Justin Britt isn't a starting NFL player. KPL? Marsh? Marsh is an 8th DL. I agree, we drafted fantastically in 2011 and had some nice picks in 2012. Those drafts have gotten us where we are, and we can't stay at that level while continuing to draft terribly. I will go as far as to say that over the past three years, we have had the worst cumulative drafts in the entire NFL. Trading picks for overpaid players that don't contribute doesn't constitute a free pass.Sgt.

Besides Lockett and probably Clark, the 2015 draft looks full of marginal-at-best players as well. That might not be fair, probably too early to comment on that one. Two players in a 3-year draft span is not going to replenish your team when you are leaking good vets every year.Sgt.

You mean like Rawls, Clark and the rookie of the year nominee Tyler Lockett?
And if Simon wasn't more brittle than a leaf that's been left in the sun too long, he'd be our starting corner right now. Even so, Shead came in and played well.
So not sure where the draft criticism comes from. Yes our 2014 draft wasn't the best, but other than that draft class we've drafted better than any other team in the league in the PC/JS era........and it's not even close.
I'd argue that Willson is an above average player from 2013, he's our most productive TE..........and KPL, Britt, Marsh and Richardson before he got hurt have been good depth.
btw, two years we didn't even have a 1st round pick.
But you didn't specify 2013 and 2014, you said "we drafted like garbage"...........which just isn't true, the majority of our stars are fantastic draft picks, the very core of our SB win, and still the core of our team.
