Here's some fodder for all the I told you so's on the board. Lively but sane please.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Wow didn't think I could hate the MO pick anymore than I already did.

 

[negativecreep]

That stings...wow bad memories.

 

[RoboQB]

&*#@!

 

[Shinaoi]

Over half of those really aren't blunders, just guys who are or were better than every team in the league projected.

 

[waving monkey]

My grip is the Escobar pick. Didn't his body suggest weak blocking problems. Now if they would use him as a possession receiver,maybe.

 

[John813]

Eh, some sting in terms of passing over a player for another, but most are looking at it in hindsight.

2003 we had Woodson and Williams and no one at corner. Back with Williams was looking like the second coming of a Lott clone and well Woodson was still playing well. I mean it sucks we didn't draft Troy, but I can't recall anyone on the older forums wanting TP.

Man I remember that pick like it was yesterday. I was like, damn another TE!! We don't need another TE!

 

[DogFace]

That's not very uplifting.

Thanks op

 

[The Natural]

I remember the AOA hype around here leading up to the draft based on his highlight reel against JV competition. My god what a terrible pick

 

[Hardline]

I didn't read the article buy Greg Ellis over Randy Moss has to be in there.

Came here to say this.

TP ended up being a phenomenal player, but Newman was good for us when he was healthy and it's not like we were hurting at safety.

Not a blunder at all IMO.

and when you get to our 2nd round or later pics, whoop. that means even the team that got him likely passed on him at least once. and hell, look and last years "redraft" - you can list every QB as a "do over" now. so does each team have a bored writer that pulls this topic up during the off-season for the "rue'ers"?

 

[ThreeandOut]

Every team in the league could have a list like this.

That was your HC's fault, and his love for 12 personnel, that he sucked at coaching.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Kam Chancellor was a hybrid LB/S at VT and folks didnt know what his position would be

 

[Alexander]

That stings...wow bad memories.

The Quincy Carter-Tony Dixon double kick to the crotch was the worst draft day ever.

Hardly a Newman truther, but I agree. Plus Polamalu would have done what in Dallas? That was when we still thought Roy Williams was a stud. Polamalu was good because of circumstance in Pittsburgh. Right system and time. I doubt he is a great player in Zimmer's system.

That was the worst and thats saying something since we've had numerous bad draft days after Jimmy left the Ranch.
