Worse 2nd round pick.... Jimmy Clausen or Eric Shelton?

At least with Clausen it's not like we passed over a good quarterback to take him. The best QB picked after him was either Colt McCoy or John Skelton which isn't much better.

However, we took Eric Shelton, and we could have had any of these following RBs:

Frank Gore (2nd round)

Marion Barber (4th round)

Brandon Jacobs (4th round)

Darren Sproles (4th round)

Ryan Grant (undrafted)

That hurts.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
