How much better would we be with Brockers, Wagner and Warford?

... versus having Escobar and Claiborne...

Would it make much difference given everything else were the same?

With how this season has gone? They all probably would've been hurt lol.

 

[Picksix]

Hard to say. On paper, we would likely be better. But like a lot of other comparison-based threads, you could substitute any of our picks for players we could've taken instead. I've wondered the same things myself, though.

For the love of god, the draft is over. Quit living in the past.

 

[Jenky]

Do we have to hear about this every week?

 

[Direwolf63]

Every team in the NFL can look back at drafts and wish they'd done something different at some point. They can all find guys they passed on or could have chosen had they not traded a pick.

It's all a fruitless exercise.

 

[Zordon]

We'd be at least a game better.

In hindsight these three players would have addressed major need areas...

They arent on this team..... stop with these post's it doesnt help or solve anything.

 

[ChooChoo73]

Garrett. Therefore...same.

How much better would we have been if we only would have drafted Tom Brady in the 5th round?
Would we have won a super bowl if we only would have drafted Randy Moss instead of that DL who's name I already forgot?

 

[Jack Burton]

We would be undefeated of course.

 

[CaptainMorgan]

If one can coach one can GM and one can be a personal trainer I think we would be better.

Otherwise we would still suck.

Well, huh, might as, might as well ask why is a tree good? Why is the sunset good? Why are boobs good?

I can answer that last one!!!!!

Man, Aaron Rodgers over Marcus Spears sounds pretty good to me.

Oh wait, hindsight is a waste of time.

I think the moral here is quantity over quantity is the remedy for a middling talent base.

We lost a top 50 pick to get Claiborne. The trade down worked wonders for us. An 8-8 team should never ever trade up.

 

[Zordon]

if we bring it up immediately after the draft, we're told to stop jumping the gun.

if we bring it up 3 years after the draft, we're told to stop living in the past.

when is the appropriate time to bring up draft failures without the purpose being questioned?

I would say an 8-8 team should rarely trade up, I would of been happy to trade up for Luck even with as much as I like Tony. I think there are certain players that you have to brake the bank for within reason, and I don't think CB is one of those positions in which you do it.

..........when the players we are rueing about make the HOF........and by then the youngsters reading the forum don't know who the H#ll we are talking about.
