Damn them for not wearing their "look into the future" goggles!

A plague on both their houses!

[Jangler]

Yeah, Earl Bennett got me one or two points a week in FF.

I agree, hindsight 20/20 but a GM/Scouts should be held accountable for mis-evaluating both need and talent. If your job is in quality control you don't just overlook someone who lets malfunctioning products through.

I tend to think we have talent, its coaching we have lacked. Lets hope that has been fixed. Now if Fox would give someone like Jarrett a chance with Moore (who is by far a better passer then Delhomme in his opportunities earlier this year).

I still think he could be a good #2 as I think he has good size and is a great run blocker. He also has very good hands. His problem is getting consistent separation. Lets hope Tyke can change that.

just to clear a few things up, All im pointing out is that 2008 would have been a great year to draft a WR. not trying to come off complaining. just being observatory

We used our 2nd round pick to trade up for Otah, a great pick and a huge need.

3rd round we took Connor, who had a 1st round grade by alot of scouts and Godfrey because we had a huge need at safety.

The two you listed in the 6th round were both developed by their teams more than they were a miss in scouting.

What pick exactly do you think we should have changed?

We can get a good WR this year. :thumbsup:

No, we gave up a 1st round, 2nd round and 4th round pick to select Otah.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Um, I didn't say that's what we gave up total, just that we used the 2nd rounder to move up to get Otah. Obviously it would only be part of a deal used to trade up, you can't trade up with only a single draft pick.

[tarheelpride]

i really thought we were going to draft Manningham

[SMACKDAB]

We've got Jake to make other players look good...you guys simmer down.

but but Jarrett will break out this year!
