LOok at all the players we passed on for Rod Gardner.

Keep in mind that Rod GArdner was a phenom in college. During his senior season he was a first team all american.

We don't have psychics in our front office, but if we did then this wouldn't be excusable. It was a good pick at the time. I mean, look at the Bengals. They took T.J. Houshmandzadeh in the 7th round. I'm sure they didn't think he would turn out as good as he did. No one really knows in the draft.

Just my :2cents:.

Could be worse. The Browns could have had LT, Steve Smith and Chad Johnson. All picked within 11 picks of their first, second, and third round picks. Ouch.

If the Browns had picked them, they'd all be injury prone busts. That's just what happens to their draft picks.

Well, to be honest I liked RG when he was here, at first anyway. That man could catch anything you threw at him! He was a pretty good blocker as well. But once Spurrier came and wanted fast recievers his activity dropped, I was pretty mad at that. Darnarian McCants was a pretty good reciever as well but I think Spurrier screwed him too..

If you go back and over anaylize any pick you could say anyone messed up, I mean, you could argue that we passed up on, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Eric Johnson, and Keith Adams because we drafted Mario Monds, but it is impossible to tell who will be good, and who will not.

AND, prehaps if WE drafted the player, he would have never learned the game the same way, seen the same playing time, play the right system or what ever, and be a bust with us.

But you must admit that drafting Darnarian McCants over the outstanding gaurd form the the Colts Ryan Diem was infact a mistake.

How did we miss Steve Smith and Chad Johnson? I guess even Santana!

You got it. Instead of Moss, Smith or Johnson, we took Rod Gardner. This is a good post because if we had taken Smith or Johnson we wouldn't have had to sign Randle El or trade for Lloyd. We then could have signed Hutchinson this past offseason who we could have drafted over Gardner in the first place.

Well, I mean, we got Moss, so who cares? Frankly, I never thought Gardner was that bad.

Hutchinson would have been amazing. Nate Clements would be good too, but corner wasn't a first round need. Deuce would have ruled, but at the time, Stephen Davis was in his prime. Yea, Heap or Crumpler would have been good, but who woulda thunk it? And of course Kris Jenkins or Chad Johnson. We could have traded back and gotten them in the late 1st round.

Look, it could have been worse. We could have gotten Freddie Mitchell :D
