Sure it is, he was one of the worst RT's in the league and that's not an opinion.

I do like what Emery has done, certainly an upgrade over the previous clown show.
But I'm reserving credit until he builds a winning team that can threaten the likes of SF/Seattle/Denver/NE. Allocating resources toward area of need is such a basic, fundamental part of the GM position that it seems ridiculous to give props to the guy for not ignoring areas of obvious needs. Obviously JA set the bar pretty damn low.

I disagree, he had one draft that I would grade as an "F" and one draft I grade as an "A". Pretty extreme in both cases, he must not whiff on our 1st two rounds this year. If he can pick up a couple stud players for the D we will be well on our way to rebuilding.

I'm pretty much on board with your previous post.
It's fine to disagree, I just think last years class will end up being a disappointment for the Bears. But I'll add that there is potential for it being great, time will tell.

Bah, you only say that because after year 1, the biggest weakness was also coaching and he attacked that full force too - much to your chagrin.

Antonio Richardson would look VERY good on our right side. I am not against a huge RG a little later either and sliding Long to RT.

I wouldn't call 2012 an "F". Emery nabbed a pro bowl WR in Jeffery and a nickel back in Frey. That's something. The miss on the McClellin pick and then whiffs on Rodriguez and Hardin make it really up and down. So maybe a "C". If McClellin redeems himself at LB, which is a big if, maybe the draft bumps up slightly from there.
And I think 2013 has the potential to be an "A" draft depending on how the LBs develop. Obviously Long was a home run and getting a starter in Mills that late was fantastic.

Says the guy who bumps his own shit just to fluff himself.
PS - Emery's arrow is pointing up, but needs better drafting to get over the hump. I don't see that as a buzzkill :shrug:

When you're downright terrible and get ranked next to last among tackles, it isn't debatable. It's been terrible so far.
It's back to the Angelo years. No ability to draft and does just enough to coverup for it by spending big money to go 8-8, missing the playoffs and keeping his job.

I agree and will add, when comparing Emery drafts, even though he's had some glaring misses, he has had some hits, nice solid hits, where Jerry Angelo (may this be the last time I type his name) has some horrid complete miss drafts.

I must have missed the boat on the whole Mills sucks thing...all season long everyone was talking about how well our rookie right side was playing, and while I would say that he regressed as the season went on, I still thought he did pretty well for a rookie. I'm guessing after the season was over some website came out with player rankings based on stats and now he sucks?

I still would love to know where Long will line up next year. I still think his future is at right tackle.

I'm not the biggest fan of Jackass, but this was awesome.
