they say it takes three years to truly evaluate a draft . . .

ted thompson's 2015 draft:

damarious randall - gone
quinten rollins - put on ir (probably gone)
ty mongomery - couldn't cut it as a wide receiver, converted to running back, injured all the time
jake ryan - gone
brett hundley - gone
aaron ripkowski - gone
christian ringo - long gone
kennard backman - who?

is there a grade lower than f?
 
Probably a fair grade. You "could" argue that Kizer is now part of that draft because he was essentially a swap for Randall. Same could be said of Hundley - he's still in the league and netted you a draft pick, so not a complete "nothing" on that pick. Also Ryan is still with the team but on IR. Again, F is probably still a fair grade.
 
Yeah people calling Ted this great drafter. BS his draft the last 5 or so years were puke worthy.

forgot that ryan was technically still with the team. you got me there. hundley? we essentially traded a fourth round pick for a sixth round pick. not sure that was a win. nobody ever mentions it, but the best part of the randall trade was that we also got to trade a fifth round draft pick for a fourth round draft pick. so we got that going for us - which is nice.
 
damarious randall - TRADED, for value.
quinten rollins - Tore up his achilles. INJURY.
ty mongomery - Dual threat. Moved to RB out of necessity.
jake ryan - INJURY
brett hundley - Traded, for lesser value than original pick.
aaron ripkowski - Two years worth of solid play.
christian ringo - Couldn't get it done.
kennard backman - Had the measurables, didn't pan out.

Get this man a job with the gazette. Spinning yarn like rumplestilskin. Well done
 
nice spin, nerd. are you tt's new publicist? CLP)
You can't blame Ted for injuries. Besides, Rollins and Randall were S's, playing CB. Dom loved those tweeners. He, like McCarthy, knew that he couldn't win the chess game consistently, so he'd get tweeners who could shift around at the last second. Look at Datone Jones, Nick Perry, all these DBs.

Even now, they're not getting rid of Rollins.
 
What cost us last year was the same thing that costs us every year. INJURIES.
