Name a time when you were totally wrong, when we drafted a player that just pissed you off at the time because you thought the player sucked or was not a need player, only to discover how wrong you were later.

I will be man enough to admit that I was PISSED when we drafted Jon Beason. Morgan was the man in the middle and I thought Beason was a second rounder. I think we had the 14th pick, that year, but traded it to NYJ.

I was also pissed when we drafted Ryan Kalil. I think Hartwig was the center and I thought the second round was too high for a Center.

I thought drafting Clausen instead of a receiver was a horrible move. Also, Armanti would've dropped to AT LEAST the 5th round. Drafting him that high was stupid.

And I will be honest, I HATED the J-Stew pick. Everyone thought he would be the new starter with Foster gone, but I was a VERY strong believer in Williams before he even started.

I hated the Clausen pick.

I remember being confused about Stewart.

I remember hating the Sherrod martin pick because it said he was a safety on the TV. I wanted to draft Duke Robinson:eek:

Jon Beason was alright with me I remember not liking some scouting report said he thought he was better than he was.

I remember i was steaming mad in the 6th round of this years draft when we took pugh and gettis , while steve smith 2.0 ( looks wise muscular frame and even same basic face look ) Kyle williams was still there and low and behold he went 4 picks later to San Fran ..

Gettis proved me wrong .. pugh needs another year before we'll know, but the potential seems to be there ..

Another one was more of i was pissed at the luck of the draw.. 07 draft 2nd round Minnesota was picking ..mel kiper was talking all about dwayne jarrett and how he'd go there .. and i was like hell yes now WE can get Sidney Rice!! .. then hell broke lose , sidney was drafted and we drafted jarrett the very next pick.. and .. well you know how that turned out

- Kerry Collins over Steve McNair

- Tim Biakabutuka over Eddie George

- Jason Peter over Vonnie Holliday

- Chuck Wylie and Mitch Marrow over Leonard Little

- DeShaun Foster over Clinton Portis

Oh, you said times I was wrong (doh).

Not trying to brag, but I can't think of any draft picks I absolutely hated that wound up winning me over.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
