Keim drafts

[NashDishesDimes]

Dont look now but Keims recent drafts not looking half bad of late. Seems like a lot of guys have just started to elevate/flash at the same time. Id say all the below guys at least flash:
-byron
-eno
-simmons
-zach allen
-zaven
-jalen thompson
-marco wilson
-rashard lawrence
-rondale
-kirk (yeah i know hes not here)
-could argue for some hassan reddick love here too


Id give some cred to defensive player development here too.

You forgot Budda.

I agree on Defense

Thought Cameron Thomas & Ingram flashed last night too.

So easy to crucify the dude but can't quite let yourself give the man a compliment?

When you throw in Hollywood, last year's draft could be considered a really strong one. Only the second round TE hasn't shown anything, but his season/career is still young. Usually, by this time at least half the Draft Class has been written off. No super stars, but a lot of solid picks. JMO.

All I see is a bunch of middling starters with very few good players in there.

I just don’t see it with Lawrence. I think he made two nice plays and otherwise he’s been hurt. He’s hurt again. He’s more ASFN myth than anything.

Not bad for the belly of the beast, but no pro bowlers or all pros.

Are we talking about the 2022 draft alone or the defense today?

I think for a marketable organization like the Cowboys or Eagles, Jalen would be a Pro Bowler already, but otherwise, not much to write home about.

Borderline. Not enough splash plays.

yes

but i also thought he nearly killed Chris Olave the other night

Yes on Jalen.

Budda? He is already a pro-bowler.

Murphy?

 

[Garthshort]

Just the fact that this Board hasn't written off the most recent drafts, gives me reason to hope.

At best.

So you prefer bust, bust, injury prone, bust??? I mean I know it's not high bar but at the very least it's an improvement.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Keim is a net negative GM. I’m not going to congratulate him for something he is supposed to do.

 

[Harry]

I think the big concern is round 1 selections. It’s not that Simmons, for example, can’t play in this league, but was he the most impactful player available. He’s done a decent job of hitting on lesser picks. It’s hard to argue he hasn’t succeeded in his trades.

 

[Goldfield]

It’s improved. We need to hit on OLINE. Murray needs a good oline to be great. Imo

I like Dj at tackle and upfront I dig Cody Ford who I would have starting the rest of the season regardless of who might come back from injury... him and DJ were really opening up holes and holding their own in pass pro

The Keim bandwagon is super strange. They just erase Keim's entire decade of bad drafting.

Keim had a great start to his career. Keim deserves credit. That was 7 years ago. Seven years ago he was good.

The dude has 38-53 record in past 5 years. Keim has one playoff win in 10 years.

Which GM would survive that kind of record in 31 other NFL cities? Ask Yourself.

****Crickets******

Nobody else would survive his record, Sam Bradford off-season, draft history, and extreme DUI.

Michael just keeps him around because he likes to tamper with football decisions and a real GM wouldn't allow that.

I didn't even bring up his personal issues here. I just cannot fathom people here think he deserves more rope just from football standpoint after one freaking decade.

All we need is to send Keim to Pete Carroll's draft clinic. Why? Just read this example of how to draft taken from ESPN article:

While we were all distracted (understandably) by the Wilson trade, the Seahawks quietly put together a strong offseason. Just look at their draft. They found their current starting tackles in the first and third rounds. Second-rounder Walker looks like a true superstar at running back. Cornerback Tariq Woolen is an interception machine and a leading Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate. Cornerback Coby Bryant (you know, the "other" rookie cornerback from Cincinnati) has been a playmaker on the back end. Seattle GM John Schneider may well have crushed what will turn out to be a crucial draft for his franchise. Smith has been very good, but Walker's 168 rushing yards Sunday was the third 150-plus rushing yard performance by a Seahawk so far this season. They're playing well in all phases and look like they haven't just fluked their way into first place.

Note that this still the second best draft for Schneider. Their first one got legion of boom players plus Russell Wilson. Schneider 2022 is only his second best. Unfortunately, Keim doesn't come close to Schneider second best. Facts doesn't care about my feelings.
