The cost of Sean Gilbert

[panther4life]

After looking at all of our first round picks again in the other thread, lets take a look and remember what Gilbert ultimately cost us.

 

We gave up our first round picks in 1999 and 2000. Well that 1999 pick ended up being 5th overall...The Skins traded this pick to the Saints for a fortune(Ricky Williams deal).

 

• Pick #12 (Rd. 1) in the 1999 NFL Draft
• Pick #71 (Rd. 3) in the 1999 NFL Draft
• Pick #106 (Rd. 4) in the 1999 NFL Draft
• Pick #144 (Rd. 5) in the 1999 NFL Draft
• Pick #179 (Rd. 6) in the 1999 NFL Draft
• Pick #218 (Rd. 7) in the 1999 NFL Draft
• Pick #2 (Rd. 1) in the 2000 NFL Draft
• Pick #64 (Rd. 3) in the 2000 NFL Draft

Then in 2000 we picked 12th overall.

 

So that totals 3 first rounders.

#12 overall in 1999

#2  overall in 2000 (via RW trade)

#12 overall in 2000 

plus the 2nd overall in round 2 in 2000

 

Washington ultimtatley traded up to 3 with San Fran, then SF also traded the #12 to the jets for picks 16 and 48.

 

If that wasn't bad enough we also made him the highest paid D-lineman in history at the time too.

I really don't follow man...can't say I got enough in me to want to try to understand...go enjoy the weekend homie!

Oh wow. I'd never put it together before that the Ricky Williams trade was our pick. If we had had a competent GM we could have been a consistent winner throughout the 2000s.

Who was GM at the time?

[Davidson Deac II]

Washington got all that from us, and didn't do crap with it.

I wouldn't change it though. I saw a documentary called "The Butterfly Effect" and it shows that going through time can be dangerous in ways we can't expect. Like we could change that and Cam Newton ends up getting blown up vandalizing a mailbox, or Luke Kuechly strangles himself in the womb. Dark stuff.

Who was GM at the time?

Capers engineered that deal.

Who was GM at the time?

Don't think we had one. Dom Capers made personnel decisons that year( I think). Polian bolted to be the Colts President and we never really hired an actual GM that year. Seifert didnt come along until 99.

 

It was probably a joint decision between Capers and Jack Buhkofsky (director of pro personnel at the time).

Don't know if he qualifies as MOST overrated, but dude was definitely overrated. Everyone just remembers his Eagles touchdown and assumes he was a beast.

I don't know many Panther's fans who would overate him.

Pretty sure Champ Bailey and Lavar Arrington ended up being picked by those Sean Giblet picks.
