I was adamant that it was correct for the Skins to select Russell Okung with the 4th overall pick in 2010. We drafted some guy named Trent Williams instead...

 

Okung is an alright player, but missing elite Trent for years would have sucked. 

 

I was just going to post the same thing.  I was pretty disappointed when we took TW instead of Okung.  Whenever I need to remind myself there is a reason I'm not a GM, I think back to that pick.

I wanted Ryan Kelly at that pick, but i think he went right before our selection. I was still happy with the doctson pick. But man, who saw that bust coming? What a disappointment. 

 

Yeah I wanted Kelly badly too. But with Garcon and DJax having contracts coming due I thought it was an excellent pick for the future.  I don't think many of us didn't see his potential, I mean he just glided when he ran and looked to be a great prospect.

Going old school, Desmond Howard. Sure, he wound up winning the Super Bowl MVP as a return specialist, but when we drafted him with the highest pick of the Gibbs I glory years, we all expected him to be a number one receiver and sure bet hall of famers. I still remember Joe Gibbs saying that the kid had "no holes" in his game.

I didn't. I have never believed that it is usually a good idea to trade up in the draft also, at the time, I really liked big WRs.

I was embarrassingly high on D’haquille Williams (goes by Duke Williams in the league) and DeRunnya Wilson before the pre-draft processes played out. Also Colt Lyerla before he got in trouble, Chris Harper, and Ryan Williams. I was also a Devon Wylie believer as a mid-round sleeper.
