Who would you have taken instead of Jason Allen?
Analyse this draft. We were in the top half of the draft by order, meaning we were in the bottom half of NFL success last year. Granted we were the best of the worst, but we're in the bottom half. You can't say "Why didn't we draft so & so" in the top half because they were gone. Vince Young dreams are made of smoke.
Here's who we passed on that the most successful half of the teams in the NFL took, excluding what resulted from trades. Who would you have taken instead? Why?
17.) Minnesota Greenway, Chad OLB Iowa
18.) Dallas Carpenter, Bobby OLB Ohio State
19.) San Diego Cromartie, Antonio CB Florida State
20.) Kansas City Hali, Tamba DE Penn State
21.) New England Maroney, Laurence RB Minnesota
22.) San Francisco (from Washington through Denver) Lawson, Manny OLB North Carolina State
23.) Tampa Bay Joseph, Davin G Oklahoma
24.) Cincinnati Joseph, Johnathan CB South Carolina
25.) Pittsburgh (from N.Y. Giants) Holmes, Santonio WR Ohio State
26.) Buffalo (from Chicago) McCargo, John DT North Carolina State
27.) Carolina Williams, DeAngelo RB Memphis
28.) Jacksonville Lewis, Marcedes TE UCLA
29.) N.Y. Jets (from Denver) Mangold, Nick C Ohio State
30.) Indianapolis Addai, Joseph RB Louisiana State
31.) Seattle Jennings, Kelly CB Miami (Fla.)
32.) N.Y. Giants (from Pittsburgh)Kiwanuka, Mathias DE Boston College
All of these teams with the exception of the the Bills, Jets and 49ers are officially certified as "smarter" than we are. What did they "get" that we didn't?
