I was guilty of that. Loved the Anzalone pick and thought he’d be a stud for us. I was way off on that one.
I think what sidelined Anzalone for us was more that he couldn't stay healthy, I thought he was starting LB material when healthy...
That would mean the fans are in shock and that's not a valid excuse to me. Supposedly everyone on here loves Ireland but when we actually use his recommendations people flip out because it didn't fit their narrative. Unless you are a scout no one on here knows better than the people that are getting paid for it. I did say earlier that if you watch college ball and seen a certain player or even watch highlight films then you can disagree with a pick but to suggest that a player would've been available later is laughable to me.
A lot of folks always want a splash/flashy pick (like a QB, RB, WR) in the 1st round, (and an LSU player of course)....Since Ireland has been here it is more slow, steady, and boring (building/maintaining offensive and D lines have been the primary focus). I love it and think this will be a better team than most expect....we will see....
We need him to be considerably better than Azalone.
I always thought a healthy Anzalone was a pretty good player, hopefully this guy is even better....
