Have to say I agree at this point. I hope Jerry is out after this season regardless of what we do.

It was a wasted pick but he was doomed once Mike Martz was hired. He doesn't have the speed that Martz needs in his offense

I agree, this was our 2nd pick of the 2009 draft. I said as soon as the pick was made that he reached for a position of need rather than taking the best player available.
If Jarron Gilbert is in fact cut as well that would really piss me off.
Jerry Angelo needs to go now! Don't let him waste another draft class.

What gets me is Al Afalava, of course, and Freddie Barnes...

You seriously called Igglesias a reach? Based off of what? Media talks had him the 7th WR of the class set to go late 2nd/early 3rd. The majority of other consensus had him a 3rd round talent maybe into 4th. That pick was the 2nd to last of the 3rd contingency round, not even normal round, it was the pick for Berrian's FA loss. That wasn't a reach by any means, he actually fell to them slightly but he was a known project for his first 2 years... He wouldn't of been cut if the presumed bigger project in Knox didn't emerge to looking like the teams top WR right now... that's hardly a failure by the pick itself.

I agree with what Clyde said, and also if you are going to criticize him for not taking the best player available, you must really love his picks this year. Didn't he do exactly the opposite last summer? Everyone said we needed to draft linemen and he didn't take one until round 7, but he did draft a QB!
I'm all for hating Jerry, but if you are gonna criticize him for 2009, you have to say he did just what you wanted him to do in 2010.

They actually will unless they cut Kellen Davis or trade Olsen.

I actually liked the decisions made on all of the picks in this years draft. Jerry did not go reach on offensive lineman or wideouts he (in my opinion took the best players available). Major Wright was a position of need but that pick had a lot of value as well in my opinion. Defensive end was not a huge need but he targeted and took Corey Wootton because he was the best player available. Dan LeFevour was projected to be a possible 2nd-3rd round pick but because his agent told him not to throw at the combine he dropped big time. I had no problem taking a chance on a possible 2nd string QB with good athleticism in the 6th round. Some Draft experts had Dan rated ahead of Colt McCoy as the 3rd best QB in the draft.
Sure we needed offensive linemen in this draft but look what came off the board in the 1st 2 rounds. A lot of team ended up reaching on OLinmen late 1st round and all 2nd round. I would rather Jerry Draft players that can make the team rather than be cut 2 years down the road.

Whew! I'm so glad this football thing didn't work out and we can now expect another platinum album in the near future.
