Every pick 12 and under by GM Jethro

2021 Micah Parsons
2016 Zeke
2012 Morris Claiborne
2011 Tyron Smith
2005 Demarcus Ware
2003 Terence Newman
2002 Roy Williams
1998 Greg Ellis

Not including the Jimmy picks.

Some fizzled out earlier but all were Pro Bowl to HOF type players. 1 in 8 odds they pick a real stinker like Mo Claiborne again. Jerry must have been listening to Jerry Jr. for that pick. Luke Kuechly, Fletcher Cox and Stephon Gilmore all picked right after him. Maybe the Garrett years would have had different endings?

If they dont trade down, this pick will be a bust

Actually Claiborne was considered the top CB in the draft. I did not like they traded up to get him.
But at the time he was a good pick.
Hindsight proven otherwise. As with all picks.

Jimmy had so many picks, he could not go wrong. But he also lucked into getting Emmitt.

Yeah...at the time, Claiborne was considered a great pick. Just goes to show you that nothing is a guarantee in the NFL.

I think he's an example of a player who was the victim of some bad calls & bad luck that undercut his confidence.

Claiborne was suppose to be one of the safest pick in the draft and ended up being a bust. Greg Ellis turned out good but missing out on Moss that’s a big loss

Yeah the Patrick Peterson clone. I’ve gotta admit I didn’t hate it…and I didn’t like Brockers at all at the time, who was the rumored target.

Shows you what I know.

Feels like a lifetime ago, but that off-season was also the last significant FA signing in Carr, since Rob Ryan wanted better corners. Fired him after that season only to hire Kiffin whose Tampa 2 didn’t really require top corners…..although Brockers being Sapp and Wagner playing Derek Brooks might have looked ok.

They didn’t have a clue then and still don’t.

They need to stay put and take the best guy available at 12. I have very little confidence that JJ wont get fleeced on a trade down.
