[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 491557, member: 2232"] The real problem with the draft can be illustrated below. We all know our GM eschews adding players via free agency, as he prefers to improve his team via the draft. Our top 2 picks who were supposed to improve our team immediately last year, were Nick Perry & Jerel Worthy. Obviously Worthy got hurt early, in game ONE, played a little longer, then made the Houston game in week 6 his final game before being IR'd for the season. He looked promising, but his addition at the top of our draft didn't make us better after mid-October. Worthy didn't tear his ACL til the last game, but he was worthless out there and don't take offense to that term. He did nothing, and even the play he tore his ACL on, he was nowhere to be seen, a non-factor.... he wasn't even caught on film on the play. Of course Heyward played great though, but when your 1st & 2nd picks don't provide anything, you're going to slip. Obviously we slipped from 2011 to 2012. Look at the top 2 picks in 2009, Raji & Matthews. Good picks + good health = Team Improving. Good, OK, or bad picks + bad health = Team Step back. In addition to that, we already know now that we are losing our DB captain in Woodson, and our former #1 WR in Jennings. These draft picks this year are going to have to produce closer to the 2009 top guys than the 2012 top guys if we are going to close the gap between us and SF, plus there are other teams up there now like Seattle & Atlanta.
