Players you wanted in the 1st round..

Very few times can someone actually go back and say that guy would have still be awful if we had drafted him. Someone like Leinart......probably would have still sucked with us.

 

2006: Jay Cutler
2007: Reggie Nelson
2008: Limas Sweed
2009: Alphonso Smith
2010: Jason Pierre-Paul
2011: Jake Locker

Ouch. I am not a great talent scout, apparently.

 

not vince young

 

2006: Matt Leinart - QB - USC :hmm:
2007: Michael Griffin - S - Texas
2008: Devin Thomas - WR - Michigan State :hmm:
2009: Hakeem Nicks - WR - North Carolina (we got Britt just after so it's OK)
2010: Jason Pierre-Paul - DE - South Florida (had him in all my mocks I hate the Giants for taking him )
2011: Jake Locker - QB - Washington

Not bad, I was off on Devin Thomas and Matt Leinart BADLY but overall not bad eye for a talent if I do say so myself. Two out of the last six guys I wanted were drafted by us so I think I am due an incorrect selection this year.

 

2011: Nick Fairley if not Locker
2010: JPP
2009: DHB :x
2008: Don't remember, but I was pissed at the CJ pick.
2007: Don't remember
2006: Reggie Bush, followed by Vince Young lol

 

2006: Vince Young, QB, Texas
2007: Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss
2008: DeSean Jackson, WR, Cal
2009: Clay Matthews, LB, USC
2010: Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, USF
2011: Jake Locker, QB,Washington

-I bought into the hype but I wanted Cutler too, just not Leinart.
-Knew Willis would be a beast.
-Wanted a WR, liked Jackson.
-Bruce Matthews connect
-Stupid Giants
-Boom

 

I don't remember who I was wanting most years, but I do remember a few, probably bc we actually drafted who I was wanting ...

2006 - Vince Young - After watching him play in the National Championship game I was sure he would just be a winner. I also thought that Mac9 would be his mentor here, but even after they locked Steve out I was still set on VY. OOPS. Hindsight 2020 ...

2008 - I actually wanted CJ, but didn't think we would actually take him. I saw a lot of his tape leading up to the draft and fell in love with him as a prospect. Then his 40 time cemented it for me. I didn't think we would take him though with Lendale on the team. I was excited when we did though ...

2010 - I was wanting Fairley in the 1st and Mallet in the 2nd (turns out we could've waited longer), but my #2 was Jake Locker. Honestly though when Gabbert fell I was just praying that he was not the pick. Looking back though I think Locker was the best pick

 

I did hate the Chris Johnson pick haha
