Everyone here has stated the obvious; this draft was very, very bad and indeed proves once again why the NFL is a corrupt, criminal organization whose concerns go way beyond winning and losing games.
There is no way to justify the drafting of slow, unproductive blacks when white players like Swope, Burkhead, Cooper and numerous others have superior measurables and demonstrated higher production in college playing the same skill positions.The "journalists" trot out the racially charged terms like "stiff hips," "deceptive speed," "slot receiver," "tweener," "doesn't play as fast as his time," "hard worker," "high motor," etc. as if to taunt the few who are aware of the scam they're promoting.
Like many of you, I think I've just about reached my limit with this stuff. It's not remotely funny any more, and if I wasn't drawn to this league like a crack addict, I would have abandoned any interest in it long ago. As I've said, only fantasy football keeps me watching now, but if the whole black quarterback experiment continues on much longer, I am confident I'll be able to finally kick my habit.
If either E.J. Manuel or Geno Smith prove to be a sensation as a rookie, like Scam and Griffin and Wilson (not to mention the not quite rookie Quotanick), then I will even more steadfastly maintain that the games aren't legitimate. Both of those guys are as mediocre as can be, probably undrafted free agents if they were white, and both are going to teams that have horrific offenses. If they work their special affletic "magic" there, I don't think I'll be the only one here who believes they aren't doing it because of their amazing skills.
