When I look back at that 2020 Daft that we picked Cesar Ruiz over Jalen hurts what was they thinking (1 Viewer)

That as it turns out was a very bad daft for us.

Fix your title (Hurts).

Cesar Ruiz bahaha

 

[SAINT BIGAL]

When they drafted Ruiz, I didn’t know who he was. It was strange that they would draft a center while McCoy was playing well.

Our refusal to draft a QB high for four straight years of needing a QB is a major failure. No excuse.

I love when Message Board Guy looks back [after years of hindsight, of course] upon a past draft and pretends that a particular player we didn’t draft was such a surefire, no-brainer pick and the guy we drafted was universally projected to be a bum, and our numbskull front office was just too dumb to know the difference.

The guy went at the back end of the second round and even picking him there was controversial. Let’s not have a revisionist history cry fest. He was a flawed prospect and that’s why he fell.

Correct, no one, including the Eagles, thought he’d have this kind of success in the NFL. The Eagles didn’t even know how they’d use him at first.

This times 100.
If they would have just checked with Bryant Law first.
Everybody loves Mr. Hindsight guy……he’s never wrong.

No one knew what Hurts would show up. Alabama or OK

Forget all the “we missed on Jalen Hurts”, this is what was confusing about the Ruiz pick. So much talent in that draft and we took a Center when we already had a really good one. Can’t make this stuff up. Also, no one give me that “it was Covid and we couldn’t meet with prospects”, can’t excuse that kind of nonsense.

Don’t you think the plan all along was to use one of them at Guard?

One of the coolest things about the search feature is you can go back and see where people stood on drafting Hurts (and hundreds of other draft picks).

Excited about our pick at 24?

My concern is that no top player drops that far, that our top 15 players or so are off the board, and that our grades for the players still available are similar to those for several players who will be picked 10 or 15 slots later.For those players who may be available at 24, whom do you like...

Man wild stuff.

I actually was hoping for Jordan Love that year, but was told he was too much of a project. And then we draft a center.
