I like Michael Mayer, but B in my opinion is generous. I guess if they are grading on a curve then yeah he's a B compared to the rest of the wasteland.

Jalen Carter and Michael Mayer sounds so much better along with the other Byron Young

Decades of bad drafts are a big reason for the losing.

I "play" arm-chair GM like a lot of people and my draft looked nothing like this shit-turd team.
While it is never real, we waste way to many picks and not many pan out at all.

Exactly, that and coaching.
Not only have we struck out horribly but when you look back at the years we didn't draft very many OL much less in the upper rounds and when we did a few years back it was leatherwood.

I bet overall we felt that is was pretty good the day after the draft, 'cause that's what we do.
