Revisiting the 2007 Draft

[Delhommey]

And Fiz milked his Beason prediction for the next 4 years...

Yeah, I remember people on the Huddle freaking out when I suggested we should trade up for Peterson if he got in range.

In this place's defense, most people were lusting after Willis pre-draft

well, we drafted a 1st round RB in 2006, can't go back to back in 2007......well, Hurney might of but a normal GM wouldnt

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Calvin Johnson being listed as one of the worst picks of the draft, and he is now the NFL record holder in single season receiving yards. Funny how things turn out.

I was one of those guys. I also remember being upset about passing on Derrick Johnson for Thomas Davis

Like Bobby Knight said when Portland said they didn't want Michael Jordan because they already had a SG and needed a Center:

"Draft him and play him at Center."

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't remember Norm Chow ever being our OC

I thought the same thing when I read that. He never was.

As an aside, everyone seemed to like Tim Shaw. Anybody know what happened to him?

[kornicova]

He was starting for a team this year maybe even the titans

Back-up for Tennessee I believe, think I saw him play this year on tv against the jags (one of my friends is a jags fan lol).

It wasn't that Calvin was looked at as a bad player, it was more so considered a bad pick because it was the 4th WR they drafted in the 1st round(all in top 10) in 5 years, while they had a bad QB throwing the ball to all of them. How Matt Millen held his job for so long is a mystery.

Hindsight is always nice but that second round of Jarrett and Kalil was, AT THE TIME, one of the Best Panther draft moments for me..

As most did on here...we thought Hurney Killed it.
