Freeman didn't even start the first two games and also missed 1.9 games with a concussion and still put up 1730 ap yards (2nd in league) and lead the league in TD's with 14.



Come on, man. Nobody, nobody saw that coming. Which is why they took Coleman and why Coleman was #1 before his injury. Freeman exploded like the lotto. He in no way influenced the draft. Beasley is fair, could have done worse, could have done better. I would expect more at 8 myself. At 8 I am looking for an arse kicker, not an edge above meh. Ask yourself this, did he change the team? That answer is no. At 8, I want a changer.

100% this, at 8 in the draft you want a guy that can change the game. 8 is only 2 spots behind Julio and no one can argue that he can't change the game at a moments notice.

Again, did Khalil Mack make an impact his rookie season? No, aside from tackles, he didn't even do as much as Beasley did.

But look what Mack became in his 2nd season. He lead the league in sacks and is the first player to ever make all-pro at 2 positions, DE and OLB.

By your dumb logic, you guys would be sitting here whining about Mack not being worth the 5th pick because his 4 sacks his rookie year means he's not impactful enough.
