Be honest....

The Beason pick bothered you for a whole year? That's rough

No, he's saying Beason bothered him more, at the time he was picked, than Stewart did at the time he was picked.

I remember another guy who had a mock draft at around the time I first predicted that we would take Stew. His thread was actually way better than mine. He had an incredible amount of info on Stew and some other prospects.

Did you make your mock in December before Christmas that year because I am not sure if that was mine or not.

once clady left the board i was figuring stew or otah.

i saw this wicked video of stewart lifting weights in college. his coach was raving about him being the most "dense" player he's ever seen. i cant find that video for the life of me now.

every offseason there are sixty thousand threads about different college players. most of you who happened to start a jonathon stewart thread happened to hit the jackpot and get lucky.

in a year or two we'll have posters scanning this offseason's thread archives trying to remember what college players they started threads about so they can brag about it later.

none of us are reporters or analysts so why try to brag about your predictions?

..as for my actual reaction, i was definitely surprised, but i tried to keep an open mind about it. once we traded back into the first for Otah i knew exactly what we were doing.

Thats easy, ego. And everyone likes to be a "told ya so".

the funny thing is, most of the predictions were probably preceded by countless opinions that turned out to be completely wrong... but those are completely ignored

Stewart was my favorite player in the draft that year. I wanted us to draft him because I honestly didn't believe DeAngelo was a starting RB in the NFL. I thought if he couldn't beat out DeShaun Foster he can't be all that good but I am sooooo glad I was wrong. We definitely have the best RB combo in the NFL.

I thought we were taking desean jackson for sure then I started hearing stewart and I was like who the hell is that? lol, i'm so glad we took stewart cuz with delhomme jackson woulda ended up a bust like every1 says Jarrett is

[brandon_87]

We definitely have the best RB combo in the NFL.

yes we do, and it's funny cuz now every team is trying to copy it:bigear:

What were some of your reactions when we took Jonathan Stewart in the 2008 draft? Honestly, for me, I was like, "Fox, Hurney, what the hell are you doing?"(well, worse than that!) Looking back, two years later, it was one of their 'better moves'!

I just hope we are lucky again in this years draft............

I wasn't surprised. there's one thing that has stood the test of time in the John Fox regime, and that's the fact we draft the best player available, and not necessarily to fill a need. At the position we drafted him, he was without a doubt the best available....though some might argue about Chris Johnson...but that's hindsight.

When it was anounced , i was disappointed that we didn't take Otah

then , well they must be confident about his surgery going well so we have

got a stud running back.

Then when we traded back into the first round for Otah YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

I'm always right most of the time, and sometimes wrong half of the time...
