Go back and look at the last 10 drafts and find me all the players you liked that were busts.

The Branch deal was just as badOn a side note, Earl Thomas is available for trade. He's not reporting to workouts.
Seattle is DESPERATE for draft capital. ET probably has a 3 year window where he will still be effective but you can bank on him missing like 10-15 games out 48.
8.5 Million dollar salary this year and he wants a raise with 1 year left on his deal.
Maybe they will take Kiko and TJ? LOL
Those deals were bad. I defend the FO when they deserve it, those two deals are brutal mistakes.
The Branch deal was just as bad
they should play kiko at mike. It's his best spot and then get rid of him after this seasonYa but they had less leverage at a more premium position so I didn't include Branch.
They literally didn't have to give Kiko more money or TJ any money.
Branch can still be part of your rotation at DE and contribute if healthy.
On the bright side, Kiko seems to play well every other year, so he's due for a good one in 2018.
People say "History repeats itself"
Anyone remember the 2010 draft when we traded back with San Diego
We moved from #12 to #28 (missing out on a future hall of fame safety)
- San Diego's first-round pick (28th overall—used to select Penn State defensive end Jared Odrick)
- San Diego's second-round pick (40th overall) Koa Misi
- San Diego's fourth-round pick (126th overall)
- Linebacker Tim Dobbins

Those type of players are always in the draft.and are more likely when you drop in the draft. Stop doubling up on JAGs and draft one impact playerWhat does it matter? Are those two entering the draft again? No.
I will never, ever forget this.
...and I was watching the draft with a Seahawks fan, and said "Your Hawks just killed it."
I don't care whether we trade down, but our first round selection must be a HIT, not just average starter. I feel like at 11 we can do that regardless of how the draft falls - a potentially great option will be there at LB, FS, or OG.
That moment came for me in 2004 and it still hurts. We never passed on him because he went before our pick but I wanted Roethlisberger bad in that draft. He went 11th and we took Vernon Carey 19th. I was hosting a draft party and a turned to my Steelers buddy and instantly congratulated him for what just happened.
Remember it well. I waned him on the Fins, too...there was no way he was getting to 19.
This. Things would have to go very poorly for the Fins to not have one of Derwin James, Fitzpatrick or Smith available at 11. I am of the opinion that any of those three help immensely on D.
McMillan at Mike and Smith at Will would be exciting. Reshad at SS and James at FS would be, too.
