Hehe, I know...And the reason I only said "Are you serious?" was because it just doesn't add up. We drafted (wasted) our second round pick last year on a RB/FB, so we may as well use the guy for whatever position we need him to play on Sundays. Bulger gets banged up, but that was because of the O-Line's sinking into the abyss of mediocrity (That's putting it nicely).
I personally think this is a draft where we could really use some of these picks for positions we need to address. It isn't one of those drafts that make you wonder about certain players. There is massive depth for the O-Line positions, let's address them. Like others have said, I don't think we were a "normal" 3-13 team, we actually do have a reputable team. It was just plagued with injuries last year. If anyone can carry the load, it's
Steven Jackson..He'll be fine with Pittmann behind him and Leonard.
That's just my opinion on this whole draft. I think it'd be a waste to get players we don't necessarily need to address at the moment...especially since there IS a lot of talent at the positions we do need. Except receiver...I'm not nuts about the receivers in this year's draft whatsoever but who knows, we may end up with a gem. Getting rid of Bruce put us in this position which was incredibly idiotic in my opinion...But yeah, back to the draft, let's address what is necessary.
