If we got 4 players per draft we’d be perannual superbowp champs.

Oh good! Current roster has 4+ from each of the last 4 drafts (6 each from the last 3!) and further back we had similar results but some have left when their first contracts finished. Where do we keep our Lombardi trophies?

Never considered your chirping to sound like a cricket.  More like a constant scraping of metal on a chalk board.

A lot is being made of the 3rd round pick. If I get a read of RS correctly, 1. he knows who he wants and is willing to pick them there! 2. The fact he knew he was reaching a little for this one helped him be able to trade back and get some extra picks! and/or 3. RS caught wind of the rumors someone else was going to snag him in the 4th and wanted to make sure he got him...Anyways, he may have been a bit of a reach, but if he becomes a productive player and fulfills his place on the team, no reach at all IMO!

AAAAAAND, once AGAIN, go to personal insults because you have no intelligent reponse.

Well done, jackass. Well done!

Agree with most of what you said.  I've seen responses by other posters that there were a number of other RBs available that we could have taken later and that's why they didn't like this pick (calling it a reach). 

Well, this kid looks like a guy who can be a 3-down RB.  Most of the RBs that went after the Mattison pick seem like scatback/change of pace RBs...  size concerns, injury concerns, etc.  Once you get past the first 100 picks, if you can find a 3-down RB, that is a good pick and great draft value. 

We'll see what Mattison does, but sometimes we all focus too much on the perceived "depth" that is left at a position instead of focusing on specific players and how they might fit into our offense.

And you go to projection immediately.
My "reponse" was an observation.  You turn to personal insults.  But at least we know why.
