Is it a weird pick?

Yes.

Is is arguably a bad pick?

Most certainly!

Was it an insane reach?

No argument there.

But you guys have some mind-numbingly stupid thoughts regarding this pick. McClellin hasn't even played a fucking snap and already we should fire Emery/Lovie because of it? Seriously?

The pick COULD be a 'futures' pick for the post-Lovie era, but the team's being built to win now. McClellin could very well turn out to be a fantastic piece of the puzzle this coming season, whether it's coming off the edge on 3rd down or making big impact special teams plays. I grant you that THAT kind of player isn't who you take at 19, but that's who they took. They didn't take him because Emery was bound and determined to get fired. Emery didn't pull the trigger on McClellin because he wants to fuck the Bears over.

I know it's not popular to trust a GM or give things a chance, but holy shit - calm all of your tits. This could be a great pick, and there's lots of draft left to go.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Haha, don't worry guys this kid is a horrible reach but he could still contribute on special teams. WELL I'M SOLD!

Im pretty hammered right now.

The only good thing about this overreaction is it has brought Irish Boy out of hiding.

One thing in his favor is that the packers apparently liked him. Now that is an organization that you can say "give the benefit of the doubt"

He's much closer to a sure thing than Poe. Of course, he doesn't have Poe's talent, though as a high-school senior he was -- and this is no misprint -- the Western Idaho Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year. Still, he didn't wow scouts at the combine as Poe did. But the draft is not only about combine workouts; it's about performances in games, and that's where the pendulum swings toward McClellin.

He seldom misses a tackle, is always around the pile and is extremely productive, with 33 tackles for losses and 20.5 sacks in his last 37 games for Boise State. Don't ask me why it took the rest of the country so long to wake up to him, but now that it has he's moving up so quickly in most mock drafts that he's approaching Dontari Poe territory.

"This guy is Mike Vrabel," said former Dallas player personnel director Gil Brandt. "You look at guys on tape, and Shea McClellin plays 100 percent every play. [Now, you take someone like] Whitney Mercilus, and look at him vs. UCLA, and you say, 'This is the greatest pass rusher I've seen in my life.' But if you look at him against Ohio State and Wisconsin, he's terrible. This guy [McClellin] doesn't have bad games."

And the Patriots, both good signs.

Here's an encouraging scouting report from CBS:

And here is a mock draft that was on PFW. Had him going first round to Pats

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

Mercilus recorded a sack in every game but two, and one of those was South Dakota State, where he barely saw the field because they sat the starters.

Yeah, I'd rather have the kid who had 3.5 sacks in MWC conference play. Idiot.

EDIT: it's 2.5!! LOLOLOL I forgot Nevada isn't even in the MWC yet.

I didn't really want Mercilus either but Brandt can suck a million dicks.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Come on IB, you know as well as anyone right now that no one knows which of those 2 guys is going to be the better pro. You have an opinion. Emery has an opinion. It was not the pick I was expecting, but I am willing to actually wait and see this guy on the field. Til then it is all a guessing game.

Valid. I don't know this kid will be a disaster. I do know that this kid would have been there at 20, or 21, or 22, or maybe even 32, and if not there were perfectly equivalent DEs if you really wanted to do that. I love Wendy's but if you pay $100 for a Baconator you screwed up even if the Baconator is really good.

Plus I think "Phil Emery: Draftmaster" has been wildly overblown. Those Chiefs drafts have kind of sucked in retrospect despite stockpiling picks.

Has Bernstein tweeted about this guys concussion history yet or is he busy preparing to base the entire show on it tomorrow?
