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

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.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
