    You might as well put Nix/Strong in your sig... you're obsessed.

    The Kubiak era whiffed on a fair number of picks. Most of them from the 2nd round on. Revisionist history.

    Everyone whiffs on picks. But when you traded up you are risking too much. Analytics guys hate it and smart teams rarely do it

    It all typically evens out. I know you have a huge axe to grind on this regime, but to say that the previous regime was doing things the "right" way is pure bullshit.

    When did I say that about Kubiak?

    I didn't have an axe to grind against Bob before the dumbass moves started piling up. Go back to his hiring thread, I had no problem with it

    Regardless of how it arose... There's clearly an agenda and somewhat of an elite standard that was not applied to the previous regime.

    Not sure what you mean. I was fine with firing Kubiak at the time. Although now I feel I was wrong.

    On the trading up, it doesn't even out. That's the whole point of why it's bad

    Again. Regardless of how it arose, you've made your viewpoint and agenda abundantly clear.

    And yes, if you now hit on more early round picks instead of whiffing, that does help even our missing out on some mid round talent.

    All teams have their draft deficiencies. I'll take the higher ceiling early round players the Texans seem to have a knack of acquiring.

    Did anyone else see at the Chiefs game they listed Justin Tuggle on the big screen? I think they meant the new guy Scarlett but I was like damn, Tuggle??? Didn't think he still played. Remember him as an underwhelming ST guy.
