When the consensus is THAT off on a guy like Franklin, I tend to just throw the consensus in the trash.
If someone's drafted 30-40 picks past where they were expected to go, that's a bit of a slide and maybe some team was in the right place at the right time to get a really nice value play. But if someone goes 2+ full rounds after where they were expected to go? That's just a misunderstanding of the consensus. That means the guy isn't a 'steal' but rather just someone who has flaws we didn't see, know about or understand. Makes me a little nervous about the Hicks pick as well. I mean Franklin going to 102 doesn't mean the Broncos "Got a first round talent!" (pours another out for Justyn Ross) - it means they might have gotten a 3rd round talent that we just didn't have graded right, IMO. It's awfully rare that those massive slides (lets say 60ish picks) turn out to be anything resembling what the pre-draft consensus on them claimed they were. |

Chargers got better but assuming Alt goes to RT it sort of feels...a bit of a waste. Still a very good draft. Eagles' was excellent imo, but I think that most years.

It's hard to separate what people got from where they picked. I'd put the Chiefs right up there based on the latter.

I think Tennessee's draft is really shitty. They drafted like it's 1984, we're just gonna be really big physical and slow. |

Lot of folks don’t like it but Andy has drafted a lineman in the first 2 rds in 19 of his last 22 drafts. After QB and coaching, the trenches are the biggest element that decides games. |

A team like that just screams desperately trying to be 500 as good teams run us off the field. |
