Except that he was wrong. Peppers played in 2009 as was posted a page ago. Brown was drafted when Peppers was on the team. It was a panic move and in hindsight a horrible one. Cam could have been throwing to Smith, Demaryius, Olsen, Shockey and LaFell and we’d have Griffen at DE taking over for Peppers instead of Brown and Edwards. 

I was talking more generally.  You just can't say we could've or should've had this or that player without context. 

And,  like I've said before, all GMs miss every year.  What makes me furious is when a GM continually fails to address needs, but somehow ostensibly stocks up at positions of strength.

My post had plenty of context and his post was incorrect. We needed a WR and DE in 2010 and the Brown trade cost us a 1st rounder in 2010. This cost us dearly as we could have had a great WR and great DE by just not taking Brown and Edwards. That makes me very upset.

That's basically ancient history.  If that upsets you,  then the last two drafts should enrage you.

if you really want to get pissy about missing out on a WR during that whole everette brown debacle, they could have just drafted golden tate and not immediately undercut matt moore by taking jimmy clausen.
