Alternate History: 2008 NFL Draft

[Mr ocho nueve]

Well, whatever the reason, can't change the past, thankfully.

If I was going to redo the draft I would just draft the way I wanted to all along, Otah at 14 and Forte or Rice (yeah I called that) with our original second. Then we would have had a 1st last year and by consequence a 1st this year. I wanted Flacco but I also think the need for a Tackle was greater. I think they are giving up way to soon of Flacco he is young he'll bounce back.

If I had just not gotten married that first time!

If I was to redo this draft I would have done what I originally wanted. M. Johnson in the 2nd (or who knows brown might still have been there) and no way in hell do I draft Irvin when Sammie Lee Hill is still available. He has the potential to be one of the best 0 or 1 technique in the draft. He was even there when we got Goodson (thanks we need depth at DT/WR/QB/OL you draft the last position we need).

Hindsight is 20/20.

[Kevin Greene]

Hindsight is 20/20.

It's also how GMs are judged and ultimately terminated.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Its not hindsight when you want it before or during the draft.

What about the Beason Draft, brilliant trade down there. We would've instead got Reggie Nelson(who is good at a position we need) but no Khalil if I remember correctly.

as for Draft in Question, I do question the Run First and bore the fans philosophy of Fox. Given the NFL, with its gunslingers and Rules that protect the Passing Game, has moved in the opposite direction it sure appears Fox/Hurney were blind to that and screwed us. to be this blind even after Delhomme's elbow injury is truly astounding.

Looking at past drafts, I fell sorry for whoever Oakland drafts this year. Sure way to ruin their prospects.

McFadden doing anything compared to Stew, Johnson, Mendenhall, Felix Jones?

[WilkinsonDonnie]

Flacco was really impressive as rookie but has been having some mental lapses lately and especially in the Packers game. Def. wouldve loved to seen Johnson in a Panthers uniform though

I am sure we aren't the only ones who would redo the draft. What if everyone had hindsight??????

MultiVerse?

I wonder how well some of these players would've done or not done, if drafted to different teams, different systems, etc.

Tom Brady wouldn't be the QB he is today had he been drafted by us. He would look very much like the 6th rounder he is. Just saying. We can't develop a QB for poo. And then there's no Stetson pitch man. Then where would the world be?

As far as Chris Johnson is concerned, he's a little too selfish for me. Great runner, yes. But you see how quick he was to drip Lendale White. Then there's his whole MVP campaign thing. Just don't like the guy.
