Stephen Jones is on record saying that their targets in the 2012 draft were Michael Brockers and Booby Wagner.
Instead of staying put and taking those two, we unloaded our picks to move up for Mo.
This one boneheaded move to try to get Rob Ryan a press corner has haunted this franchise ever since. We need to avoid moves like this in the future.

Two things......Mentally disciplined players/coaches and ball hawks on defense will get the 'Boys a Super Bowl.

Yeah, you look at it now and yeah the move was a bad one.

At the time, and I'm not big on trading draft picks, Mo was arguably the best defensive player of the draft.

But it is what it is, Mo hasn't been able to stay health and the guys they were targeting turned out to be keepers.

Even if Mo had been 100% healthy his whole time here, he still would have caused us to miss out on the better player (Wagner).

Prior to the draft Mo was arguably the best defensive player available.

It's always easy to look back on any decision and say it was good or bad.

Rob Ryan is the Chip Kelly of defense.
Destroying the NFL one defense at a time.
