not going to drive myself crazy thinking about all the could have been but Iggy was a big mistake and so was passing on Goedert but it is what it is
Hey M, I kind of like the OPs comment. It shows how random the draft can be, IF all of the players that the OP listed were picked by one team, it would have been been even more significant. But I think if this was done for every draft, the pattern you would see, is that there is no pattern. Actually the draft is similar to what I do, an average month, about 66% positive, a really good month, 74% positive.You can do this little exercise with every team in the NFL after every draft class. It’s rather pointless tbh.
We are not the only team who passed on those players. Sorry that life doesn’t work that way.
I like Jordan Love as much as any non-Packers fan would, but I would not really prefer Love over Tua. There are things I like better about Love, but he's had just a partial season of good play. I'm not ready to say Love is better than Tua, although I can see how he certainly might be better. It just depends on what he does next season. Tua's had multiple good seasons in what looks to be a bright career.5. OT Tristan Wirfs
18. WR Justin Jefferson
26. QB Jordan Love - If we didnt trade down to select Noah.
39. RB Jonathan Taylor or S Antoine Winfield
56. DT Justin Madubuike
All of those players are Pro Bowlers except Jordan Love.
Ironically the only player who we selected to make the Pro Bowl was Tua but I would rather have Jordan Love.
I'll always love Eli for beating NE on their perfect seasonI like Jordan Love as much as any non-Packers fan would, but I would not really prefer Love over Tua.

Just because I'm not crazy about Tua doesn't mean I discount what he is doing. For all anyone on this site knows, Tua could go on to become a 2x Superbowl MVP. I never would have predicted that for Eli Manning. I totally would have taken Peyton over Eli any day of the week, too. But Eli's the 2x Superbowl MVP while Peyton is not.

Exactly. We could have had the All Madden Team with hindsight, oh wait so could every other franchise. lol.hindsight is fun
The fanbase would have revolted if we didnt take a QB at 5

DNA test...PRONTOMy younger son is named Eli. My wife is a Giants fan and I certainly had no problem with that name when she chose it. Shes Irish and I am Greek, so in Greek we call him Elias.
But ya, the biggest win the Miami Dolphins have had in the last 30 years was via the NY Giants beating the Patriots (twice actually). Nothing the Dolphins have done on the field matters more than what the Giants did for us.
There are some Dolphins who actually hate the Giants for some reason and it irks me.

Re-Correction. No! We needed to take a QB at 5. Regardless of who we took, we needed a QB
That’s how average teams are built. Also Flores was dead set on Fitz Magic. Even though I don’t like Flores I don’t see a reason to create more tension in the building by drafting a guy he clearly didn’t want.
