People like to pick on the QB, but really it seems like a super bowl winning team just needs to have value somewhere on their roster.
Super Bowl 48 we had Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, and Richard Sherman all making less than one million a year. Three high caliber starters making that little of money. Doesn't matter what position it is, we just need to get back there. Build through the draft. Whatever we did back then, do it again.
drafting all pros is easier said than done though
True, but that's the reality of what it takes to be a championship caliber team. Draft really good players. They've shown they can do it once, so fans will expect to see it again.
Okay lets look at that over the last say 3 years
Year Player Pos CarAV
2020 Jordyn Brooks LB 3
2020 Darrell Taylor DE
2020 Damien Lewis G 9
2020 Colby Parkinson TE 0
2020 DeeJay Dallas RB 2
2020 Alton Robinson DE 2
2020 Freddie Swain WR 2
2020 Stephen Sullivan TE 0
Year Player Pos CarAV
2019 L.J. Collier DE 8
2019 Marquise Blair S 2
2019 D.K. Metcalf WR 21
2019 Cody Barton LB 4
2019 Gary Jennings Jr WR 0
2019 Phil Haynes G 0
2019 Ugo Amadi S 3
2019 Ben Burr-Kirven LB 2
2019 Travis Homer RB 3
2019 Demarcus Christmas DT
2019 John Ursua WR 0
Year Player Pos CarAV
2018 Rashaad Penny RB 7
2018 Rasheem Green DT 6
2018 Will Dissly TE 6
2018 Shaquem Griffin OLB 3
2018 Tre Flowers S 14
2018 Michael Dickson P 8
2018 Jamarco Jones T 5
2018 Jacob Martin LB 5
2018 Alex McGough QB
Okay out of those 28 we had
1 legit all pro type
8 who have started 5 or more games in a season
6 who are no longer with the hawks
Not a great set of drafts at all. so history shows in the last 3 years we have not done well
In fact 2016-2020 we have had only 2 pro bowl level or better draft picks out of 49.
Interestingly
from 2010-2012 we had 12 out of 29 pro bowl level
From 2013-2015 we had 3 out of 28
So what we have is the further away form PCs time as a College coach the worse our drafts have become.
Does not bode well. I think they have gotten to the lets find some people that might have potential get a lot of picks and hope a few pan out or in other words thronging darts, or quantity of quality
