U would’ve thought after having one player, barely drafted at the end of the 7th round, that would’ve been a wake up call. U can’t have attrition + misses.
I’ve been scrambling going back to the Golden vs. Diaz/Richt era. The players from The Golden Regime were better, but the defensive philosophy sucked. The defense put way too much pressure on the O. Yet, we had 28 players drafted from Golden’s recruiting classes, including 13 defensive players, w/ the avg. round draft pick being 4th.
Compare that to the Diaz/Richt era: 12 guys have been drafted from their 6, combined recruiting classes (5 of which were 1 year transfers). 8 were defensive players (3 of which were 1 yr transfers). Avg draft round: 5th.
Imho, we’ve gone full circle w/ the Coker era regarding quality of players under Richt/Diaz. The recruiting rankings looked good, but the complete evaluations were putrid. The attrition of guys transferring, quitting + misses = oy vey.
