Let's talk about when we were wrong...

The biggest bust FA acquisition that I just knew was going to get us to the Super Bowl was that ex-Seahawk receiver FA that Hurney signed. I can't even remember his name.  I was just sure that he would take us to the Promised Land.

Yeah, D.J. Hackett, that's who it was.

Of course. I think we all popped woodies watching his FSU highlight reel.

I remember examining his highlight reel and posting "Boy, he sure does have a lot of near misses. Would feel better if he made the sack more."  But naturally I hoped he'd improve.

We have Ron Meeks to thanks for that pick. He believed Brown was going to be his Dwight Freeney.

yep also got the impression that he was a panicked attempt at plugging the julius peppers sized hole that would be coming shortly to the roster.  there's that "drafting for need" thing that gets discussed on occasion.

Oh man I forgot about Meeks. That definitely had something to do with the hype... that and the draft trade that ended up giving San Fran Mike Iupati. What a horrible horrible decision that was. 

Dez Bryant, Germaine Gresham, Maurkice Pouncey all on the board when we woulda made our pick.

Hurney trading future picks... I wish I could block those moments out of my memory.

(or erase them from history, which would be great)
