I think a better question is how many prospects (that we were considering and didn't pick) went on to become pro bowlers? hindsight doesn't count, and Pierce Upshaw and Osemele were critical pieces in our Super Bowl win. Harrison Smith would be nice now but I prefer the championship. 2014 gave us three starters, 4 if you include Jensen. Based on the visits tracker and rumored targets we were never going to come close to nailing the first two rounds. We did OK in what was a God awful draft class. 2015 there has been nobody of note from our first pick onwards.

True, hes no world beater but hes contributing. Big power edge rushers just seem to translate better, man strength is real.

Personally I think drafts have too much luck and extenuating circumstances in play to blame/praise a GM for the end result. Lets say for example the Jags rookies are all injured and cant play again... they still drafted better than any other team.

We've struck out a few times but I think the draft excuse has been overemphasized, especially considering how hard we've been hit by the injury bug in recent years.

Franz Lohners theory is the only one Ive seen that makes sense.

Has the relative lack of natural selection and proliferation of recessive genes doomed the human race? Also, are autoimmune diseases caused and/or exacerbated by excessive vaccinations and antibodies? Also could it be possible to develop a preventative Tommy John type surgery to prevent knee injuries?

Maybe we should bring back Zorn.

We never seemed to be a top target for the biggest name free agents, but if we keep playing poorly it's going to get harder to bring them in.

Nobody drafted between Perriman and Maxx has done anything of note so we're not really missing out on anything with his progression, I mean it could have been worse considering that we were targeting Bud Dupree.

Yes, thats the right place to start. I still believe in him, but he needs to get out of his funk.

Im paraphrazing here but Flacco recently said something along the lines of when the time comes we're going to have to kick him out the door, considering that stance and who his agent is he can really do what he wants, he could coast along and stink up the joint for years.

We showed some semblance of a pass rush this week, if we can keep that up it will help.

Are there any notable fire sales going on right now? I know my personal favorite FA target Stefan Wisniewski is unhappy with his current role in Philly...

I think he's still rattled by the knee injury and it could be as simple as a time thing for him to get right. It's not unheard of for QB's to have a season long slumps or hot streaks, a change in scenery could come back to bite us.

Even though it's early it's sad to see Correa so far behind Judon.

I honestly don't think there is an endgame for TWD, I'm sure I read somewhere that ratings peaked in season 5.

Man I missed that, I was out of the loop for a while. He'll be here until he's 36 at roughly 22 million a year. As mentioned earlier if he really is gunshy/damaged goods now how would we get him out?

Sitton for 7M Brandon Brooks for 8M or even Stefan Wisneiwski for 1.5M

His contract was always meant for an extension, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

We could trade for someone to help shore up the line. I think it's become clear that Jensen, Zuttah and Urschel are better backups than starters.
