cphil006 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I don't want to draft a QB and spend the next five years finding out that he's a bust. If it's a sure thing... take him... but there's few sure things... (Peyton Manning)... I'd like to find a stop-gap if we can't get Bradford of Locker in the upcoming draft.

Rodriggo Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Love Orakpo. We really needed to draft an end. He's made an immediate impact to our pass rush. Now if Blache would line him up at end more than two times a game we might have something. Funny looking at other drafts. 2008: 34. Devin Thomas 49. DeSean Jackson! 51. Malcolm Kelly 55. Ray Rice! 2007: 6. LaRon Landry 7. Adrian Peterson! 2005: 9. Carlos Rogers 11. DeMarcus Ware! 12. Shawne Merriman! 24. Aaron Rodgers! 25. Jason Campbell Could have traded up to get Rodgers! 2004: 5. Sean Taylor 81. Chris Cooley That was pretty bad *** BUT consider this 11. Ben Roethlisberger! 2003: 44. Taylor Jacobs 54. Anquan Boldin! 56. Osi Umenyiora! 2002: 87. Cliff Russell 91. Brian Westbrook! 2001: 15. Rod Gardner 17. Steve Hutchinson! 31. Todd Heap! 32. Drew Brees! 36. Chad Johnson! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hailtotheskins69 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Had to go with Orakpo. He's made an immediate impact. But you never know, Sanchez could eventually work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjinhan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Funny looking at other drafts. if you are looking back then you can make every team's draft look back... people should list highly rated college player that they could have picked but didnt and turned out to be a bust as well... thats the only fair way if you are going to be doing this looking back excercise..

Agreed. But we have some serious mistakes here. I'm talking world class busts. Malcolm Kelly over Ray Rice?! Rod Gardner over Drew Brees?! Carlos Rogers over DeMarcus Ware?! Everybody makes mistakes but we seem to make alot of them. Another thing I noticed was the number of drafts where we don't have a pick in every round. Maybe I'll investigate that tomorrow.

Aluadan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Rodriggo, that's just depressing. If there's ever an obvious sign Vinny needs to go, that is. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailToTheRedskins14 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Rodriggo, that's just depressing. If there's ever an obvious sign Vinny needs to go, that is. :doh: Are you kidding me? Some of those were from 2002. Vinny has been in full control for less than 2 years. And plenty of those guys were drafted in the 2nd round or later, which means even the team that drafted them skipped on them once. So yeah, so-and-so drafted a Pro Bowl QB in the 5th round. That means they passed on him for 4 rounds, too. It's obvious we weren't the only team that passed on those players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
