Voth looks at the history of our top three draft slots

[rodeo]

I have a feeling we trade down

 

Gettleman has spoken in plain terms he doesn't believe in trading down, yet every single year a bunch of people think we'll do it. Silliness.

[Mr. Scot]

Could've taken Revis with that 14th pick. 

 

(Beason was still a good pick though)

 

Sadly, the list of players we "could have taken" when Hurney was running the draft is kind of a depressing read.

As one said, it might be gas

Would've been nice to have on through rookie contract, but no thanks on dealing with the yearly holdout threats and demands for a new contract that followed.

[CarolinaNCSU]

I think we'll see a trade up at some point because of all the picks we have. Wouldn't be opposed to it in the 2nd (though maybe too costly) or 3rd.

True.  We'd never have kept him past his rookie deal.

 

[Bartin]

Oh please. You know Hurney would have given him whatever the hell he wanted.

Valid point.

 

Lord have mercy, what would that contract have looked like?

 

[thefuzz]

Valid point.

Think Aaron Rodgers....

2013

 

1 (14) DT Star Lotulelei

2 (44) DT Kawann Short

3 (74) Pick was traded by Hurney to move up the prior year and get Frank Alexander

 

There's still time for that one to pan out. He could be the 3rd or even 2nd best DE on our roster.

That pick should have been Keenan Allen and the Amini pick should have been Jeffery. It really grinds my gears how much we whiffed on that one. I just can't let it go. I would be awesome if we could get him in FA next year should Chicago fail to lock him up. But Gman won't pay it and with Marshall shipped out he surely gets locked up by Chicago anywho.

I like Jeffrey but I think the Amini pick should have been Cordy Glenn.

 

[Riverboat Ron]

Give me three future all-pros in the first three rounds at OT, WR and Safety and I'll be happy.

True, we missed big time with both those picks. All I'm saying is that I've still got hope that Frank Alexander can be a good DE for us, and maybe even beat out Ealy for the starting job in training camp. He's got all the p-word in the world.
