Why didn't we just get Gordon and Lloyd in the rookie draft ?
we could still have taken them both at 66 and one of the picks we passed at. to enable this to happen we just keep petterd on as a rookie.
geez at pick 50
marsh, hourigan, templeton, conlon, darcy, sokal just to name a few. woulkd have been rapt to give any one of them a go.
would have loved for us to give sully a go with one of the later picks. hope we look to rookie him. would give josh waldhuter a spot as a rookie as well.both mature players.
for me i wanted scily or marsh at 50. so marsh at 50. thing is we could have had sicily at 50 and marsh at 66. anyway marsh at 50 and the two mature types we took at 66 gordon, and use 78 on lloyd. it wasnt hard to do it only needed a sml bit of tinkering.
it is interesting as far as i can see only matt fuller at 42 and the two we took gordon and lloyd were mature players taken in the entire draft excluding rookie upogrades. with this in mind im certain both gordon and lloyd would have been there much later or in the rookie draft. there was few live picks after pick 49 anyway.
imo the way we have gone about the entire trade and nd period has been poor. we seem to make the same sort of mistakes over and over every yr.
come the rookie draft one of hourigan or templeton would be great. two of hourigan templeton conlon darcy and sokal even better, unlikely. use the last pick on sully or waldhuter or chris cain.
