[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 956075, member: 6578"] LOL Gary was not a bad pick, sorry I just cannot agree to that even a tiny bit. If someone expected him to start above Smith, Smith and Fackrell his rookie year you're crazy...I can get not liking the pick from a need perspective but Gary was absolutely the definition of a good pick. Where are you going with this "developmental player" stuff? 2021 - First Stokes and Second Myers round picks - both instant starters for GB 2020 - First Love (fits your statement) and Second round pick Dillon instant day 1 starter level, especially given nature of NFL, we just didn't need him year 1 2019 - Gary (somewhat fits but was capable) / Savage starter and second rounder Jenkins starter 2018 - Jaire Alexander instant starter and Josh Jackson was just a pure bust even "experts" thought was a steal GUTE TAKING OVER 2017 - NO FIRSTS - Kevin King started for us year 1 and Josh Jones did nothing...rough top draft class 2016 - Kenny Clark DAY 1 BABY, Jason Spriggs (Josh Jackson level bust) 2015 - Damarious Randall started 9 games played in most and at times looked good...never grew....second rounder Rollins similar story to a lesser degree 2014 - HaHa started year 1 and Davante Adams in the second. So overall with top picks: GUTE ERA First rounders have given us - Stokes, Love, Gary, Jaire in Gute's era gave us two year one starters, one that arguably could have been if not for the roster present (Gary) and one guy that truly is your injured/developmental player pick. Second Rounders have given us - Myers, Dillon, Jenkins and Josh Jackson...which gave us almost similar results two year one starters (Myers/Jenkins), one fully capable but not needed with roster at time (Dillon) and one just pure bust. 75% of Gute's first and second rounders have not been injured or developmental type players. Looking four years prior to Gute: First rounders gave us - Clark, Randall and HaHa - One stud year one starter (Clark), another year one starter in Haha (don't go grading out if he grew or whatever that isn't the discussion) and an arguable bust in Randall...although he did start in year one some. Second Rounders gave us - King, Jones, Spriggs, Rollins, Adams - King was really the only year one starter....two busts (Spriggs/Jones)...Rollins fits your developmental player and Adams was just not getting time with the roster present. 2 out of 3 on first rounders don't fit your claim...and if we include just pure busts second rounders only 2 out of 5 don't fit. Clearly the trend especially lately in Gute's era has been anything but drafting injured/developmental players....and unless memory fails me I don't believe ANY of these guys were injured at draft time....could completely be wrong there.
