How many swings and misses do you get and still pat yourself on the back….hahahahahaha

This is stupid logic…you can make the same case for every position on the team.  There’s always anecdotal evidence of some low or undrafted guys making the team…and even the HOF (see Tom Brady vs Payton Manning).  You can also make stats that say you shouldn’t pick a QB in the first round because there are several cases where they have busted.

The issue is the probability of finding “a starter” in the 1st round vs 3rd rnd or later…and especially the probability of an All Pro/HOF caliber player in the 3rd round or later.  The real stats show a precipitous drop in the liklihood that a player will be an “impact player” after the middle of the 2nd round.  How long did Belichik try to find a bargain pass rusher in the 2nd/3rd round-passing on countless allstars, until he finally got aggressive and moved up to get one this year.

At QB…would you rather take an Andy Dalton-who’s a decent player, or take a shot at Manning(s), Luck, RG3, Brees, etc…Dalton’s ok, but he won’t carry a team to super bowl contention for 10 years. 

To use this logic, Teams should not pick in rounds 1-2 and only pick in round 3 or later…if the numbers prove this out, how come teams don’t do it?  These aren’t dumb people (well most anyway)

Even the king of trading away high picks (BB) figured this out this year…that the only way to get impact defensive players was to pick them high in the 1st round…He also did some decent self scouting when he traded away the 4th to get Talib and a 7th.  His track record of finding good players in the 7th round is way above average…even better than his track record of finding guys in the middle rounds…so, this is a double win for the Pats.

The stronger argument against spending first round picks on RB is the short longevity the position has. Grab a CB, or a DE or a QB, and you’re looking at 10+ years if the guy can play. RB, a lot of them are spent after 4.

Robert Edwards was doing fine before the freak injury; he’s not a good example of wasting a draft pick on a running back.

Crawford was 7th in the running for 6th man of the year … WOW, that’s something to brag about.

Tommy Heinson must have got a vote this year

I’m positive that that’s the explanation.

It be great if Paul Pierce broke both his legs so we do not have to watch the scum bag he sucks

Celtics eat shi”"”
The worst players in the world play for the Celtics that’s why no one wants to play for them
only rejects on the celtics
Pierce Garnet are scum

Boston Sport teams are finished. It pains me to say that but is the true. They had around 10 years of winning now is time to rebuild. Celtics are an old and washed up team. no one in that starting lineup averages 20 points a game. They just cant shoot. How can you expect to win like that? Patriots have a quarterback who although is one of the best has just 1 or 2 years left at the highest level. Red Sox although a nice start havent got those special players like before Manny, Ortiz in his prime, Pedro and Nomar cornerstone players who were stars. They have an average team now with hitters that will strikeout at any given time. They are a team that if everything goes well may qualify for the postseason but just like the Celtics will flame out in the first round too.

Do you have anything else to do other than troll ? Pete, bill, tom, mike whatever you call yourself ? Total idiot.

the celtics may be playing terrible right now BUT that doesn’t mean that you have the right to speak cruel words unto them.. can’t you see that these guys are still fighting even though the team suffered major disadvantage due to injuries..

instead of throwing some criticism, why not show some respect to those who are trying their best to accomplish something.. i still have faith in these celtic team..

i guess you were always messing things up while growing up and your parents didn’t put effort in supporting and believing in you that’s why you are acting this way.. you are just jealous ’cause even though this team is playing bad, there are still some fans who haven’t given up on them (the thing that your parents didn’t do to you, am i right?)..
