The cost of Sean Gilbert

[2jakefansinva]

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.

 

you know, if we hadn't of made that trade............ we possibly could have gone to the Super Bowl in a few years.

At the risk of being flamed, Mike Rucker is the most overrated Panther of all time. The way he's remembered you would be led to believe that he's a potential HOFer when in reality he only had two double digit sack seasons.

[Machete]

Eh am I wrong for thinking maybe Keyshawn Johnson was the most overrated?

Rucker was a great #2 DE. And truth be told, most great DE tandems consist of a #1 and a #2 DE. Our situation of having two legit #1s is relatively unusual.

that trade bothers me, but there are other decisions that bothered me more.

 

right out of the gate deciding on kerry collins over steve mcnair was a bigger deal, imo. that's not saying i knew he was a racist drunk who would quit on his team, just that i liked mcnair more. had we not chosen the drunk racist qutter, we might have had back to back winning seasons and created more if a winning culture here.

 

every team has a history of boneheaded decisions, tho. ours is not unique in that regard.

I kinda follow, but that pick didn't cost us all of that because we couldn't have gotten all of that for it, at least not with the GM at that 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.

 

Well there is also the little matter of that touchdown run in Super Bowl 38.

 

Maybe you can argue he is overrated in the sense of a complete career, but no way is he most overrated.

Foster could play and he had the talent to be great. But like Biakabatuka before him, injuries destroyed him. He lost speed with the ACL injury, then burst he had was gone once he broke his ankle. Foster was one of the more gifted runners we've had in my opinion just on his natural talent. Not saying he didn't have flaws.
