Oh good, another thread on the same tired subject. great job. yes, we know 2008 sucked.

 

If you can't hide your mistake get rid of it no use in feeding it anymore than you have to.

 

I never wanted Parcells. Ever. Over hyped and over rated to the EXTREME. However I don't believe Ireland had much say until Parcells left.

 

Because mistake of my football life, believing in the POS Parcells, I blame nothing on Ireland in that first draft, anyone thinks Ireland was cuttin checks while Parcells was on his first stint buying the groceries, I got some real estate in Iraq I wanna sell ya..

 

was kind of excited when Parcells came on board and then I quickly realized I didn't exactly like what he was doing. Only thing I backed till the end was Henne and I still think he is going to be a good QB. Ireland wasn't in charge of personnel until Parcells saw what he was building was going to fail

 

4 Pro Bowl appearances from that 2008 draft :yes:

Either way, retaining only one player from a draft is not really all that out of the ordinary in today's NFL.

 

Well, I mean, we did have a glorified hot dog vendor as a head coach and a senior citizen who would run play actions on third and that's your ***...

 

look at NE's drafts. BB hasn't exactly hit on anything recently. It's all a crap shoot. Unfortunatly for us, it's been more crap than shoot

 

It wasn't great....but credit goes for getting Jake Long when there was a LOT of talk about Chris Long and Gholston.
Also Kendall Langford signed a pretty big contract. Can't fault the team for not blowing much needed cap space at a position of strength.
We also came out of that draft with Dan Carpenter and Davone Bess.

So I don't think anyone can really ***** about 4 years later and having 4 solid to great starters out of it.


FYI the Patriots only have 2 players on their roster from that draft left...Mayo the first rounder...and a WR who has 1 catch in 4 seasons.
The Jets only have Dustin Keller from that draft and whiffed large on Gholston.
