    When I think about the drafts that we have picked in recently and the players we passed over, it is depressing. What could have been??? I will start the ball rolling with a couple of guys that we could have picked that would of made a huge difference for us. Everyone please add a couple and let's see the roster of players we could of had.

    My first is JJ Watt, we picked Jake Locker. The pass rusher we have needed for years was right there and has turned out to be one of the best defensive players I have seen in years.

    2nd- Dez Bryant, We took Derrick Morgan at 16. Dez went 24th to the boys. We have not had a dominant WR in so long we have forgotten what they look like.

    I am sure there are bigger misses out there so what is yours???

    hindsight is certainly amazing.

    We took Locker when we needed a QB
    We took Morgan when we needed a pass-rusher.

    **** happens.

    True but it certainly says something about our scouting department and GM. Our drafts lately have been atrociously bad.

    Definitely, but I don't see the point of this thread.
    Every team has a "we could have taken x player instead of y player", even the very best.

    Man I am salivating at the thought of Watt and Dez in a Titan uni.

    5 things this team has always lacked since the Mac-9, Eddie and Kearse days is

    #1 heart #2 leadership #3 direction #4 coaching and #5 marketable, big names

    With those 2 we could have crossed 3 of 5 off that list

    The talent has been so blah and so lackluster for so long it's no wonder no one cares to talk about or market this team out of TN

    But alas they drafted Locker and Morgan and here we sit in misery.

    No one really knows who will pan out in the draft granted, but you'd think this franchise would stumble into a marketable star by now ..... Such a awful drafting team year after year
