Ran across this and thought it was rather interesting.  We had the #14 overall pick in 2005 and we all know we selected TD.  According to the article we should have went with Jeremiah Ratliff (who actually went in the 7th round). Not so sure many here @ the huddle would agree with this.....

One of the worst 1st rounds in NFL history and TD goes later than he originally did? LOL

 

The article doesn't explain it, but imagine being a team knowing you're going to be missing Thomas for 3years of his career even with a crystal ball, not many teams would take that even with a productive player while he is active. I love me some TD58 and Panthers but objectively speaking, I understand the ranking.

Well, if he was drafted by a different team he may never have been injured at all.

Finishing his degree,..lauded by TD and the FO, will get to start from day-1...who's to say we wont have one of, if not the best LB geoup in the NFLs history?

 

So finishing your degree and being talked up by your coaches results in getting a statue...? Let the guy play at least a down in the league, Jesus.

You definitely can't put Shaq in there with those guys at this point in time. Hopefully one day but c'mon man.

      When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.

      This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))

      I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
