The cost of Sean Gilbert

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 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?

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).

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
