Just another observation about some of our other higher draft picks. It seems that we can pretty easily replace them with equal to better talent via low lever free agent pickups.
Overall I'm OK with where the team is heading (considering the losses and all), but at the same time our drafting scores for higher round picks is pretty damn scary bad for sometime now.
These are some of the types of reasons I think Pete ball is short lived here now. Pete needs a top 3 D to make his formula work because the offense will never be dynamic enough to compete with top NFL offenses around the league. It was nice to see Schotty using more mis direction and play action to help the pass rush, but IMO Russ is going to have to run some to make this continue to work and I don't see them allowing that. Add to that the amount of wear and tear that pounding the rock will take on our backs , and I have trouble seeing this holding up (close to 50 / 50 run pass)
Point of the thread? I don't see us sustaining success with Pete here given the continued poor drafting.
We may have a winning record, and possibly even playoffs, I just don't see us stepping up past that with Pete.
