Jaran Reed and Tyler Lockett. That is pathetic. Pete needs to get talent on the team to continue his success...and Schneider failed from 2013-2016 to provide that to Pete. He has done average the last 3 drafts....but his complete stinkers put the team in the position it is in now. Terrible replenishment of talent through the draft.
Claiming the drafts were horrible because only 2 players remain ignores all of the other factors involved. Some players were offered more money elsewhere or traded. I would be much more critical of the trade deals
Both are true. Thats is how drafts are measured. Specifically firsst round picks. We havent given a second contract to any of or first round draft picks since Earl Thomas. Thats a horrendous stretch. The trades have been total failures as well.
I haven't looked at the numbers cause I'm not a stat guy but just assuming your right that the Hawks don't give second contracts why do you think that is? It's because of the salary cap...The Hawks have several big contracts at key positions with key leadership players... Also players that don't buy into the program get tossed.. sometimes because of the salary cap the Hawks have to fill holes in FA they don't have the cap space to have tier one FA so they have to be patient and find the right players like Dunlap or mortgage the future drafts but when you have a GM who goes into the draft with 4 picks and comes out of the draft with 11 picks you can do that kind of stuff...
