What is he disgusted with?
picking a RB over a WR most likely.
He thinks RB's are a dime a dozen, and when you make a huge stink about not reaching and how important your draft picks are, to then trade picks to trade up for a RB who would have been there later on is ridiculous. He thought the Ward pick was ridiculous as well so I guess he is just not liking the Browns draft so far.
I disagree that RBs are a dime a dozen. It is a position in which there is a lot of talent in the NFL, but that doesn't mean that all RBs are equal or that there is parity at the position. There are certainly some RBs that are far, far better than others and it would be great if we got an impact player at that position in Round 2. If Heckert believes that Hardesty is a first round talent and that we were able to get him in the second, I'm fine with the move.
I think that people who try to pick apart a team's draft as it is happening are setting themselves up for failure. I haven't seen enough of Hardesty or Ward to make ANY sweeping judgments about them as players or their potential value in the draft.
Were they on my radar? No. Did I expect the Browns to draft either? No. Does that mean that they are certain bad picks and that Heckert should be taking heat already? Hell no.
These could end up being the greatest three picks in NFL history for all we know. I'm willing to trust the Holmgren/Heckert brain-trust and hope for the best.
Personally, I don't think that Bentley is proven as a judge of talent or that we should take his word over the guys in charge of the organization.
