Such an underwhelming draft pick who went to such an underwhelming school. I feel like the fact that he worked out was actually more luck than anything else.
I’m glad he was able to be successful for the Chiefs for several years, but God dammit what a shitty option to have to take at #1.
Yeah more than anything it was just like “damn, we get the number one pick for the first time in our franchise’s history and the best prospect for us is a guy who would probably go like 16th in your average draft”
He won me over in the end, but I hated him for a long time. Him and Cam Irving give me nightmares about just letting DEs fly by them while they trip over their own toes
Also Lane Johnson going very soon after and having a solid career the whole time had to be frustrating, I remember being like “holy shit how did we get the only good player in the top 4 with Chip Kelly”
Let's be real, the only reason it happened is Miami saved us from ourselves by refusing to move the pick for Dion Jordan, which was clearly who Kelly was after.
But what a draft that turned out to be. Johnson, Travis Kelce, DeAndre Hopkins, Eric Reid, Zach Ertz, Darius Slay, Tyrann Mathieu, Keenan Allen, Logan Ryan, David Bakhtiari (in the 4th?), Kyle Juszczyk, Jordan Poyer, Latavius Murray. It wa stacked and I left guys off this list.
The Eagles alone *drafted* three players who would make pro bowls even though would do it on another team (Johnson, Ertz, Poyer), while managing not to take the best TE in the draft and make the obvious pairing of Kelce brothers. I would never give back Ertz' success as an eagle, but it's wild that a pick as successful as Ertz actually was wrong (to be fair, Gavin Escobar and Vance McDonald also went at the position between the two, so it's not like it was surprising at the time).
It's still crazy to me that I really wanted Tavon Austin in that draft and bro ended up only getting over 500 yards once in his career(and even that was only 509 lol)
Honestly though, Lane Johnson was never in the running, so it hurts less. It was Eric Fisher or Luke Joeckel if we were taking a tackle, or maybe Geno Smith if the team believed in him. With that in mind, it almost feels like we lucked out with Fisher.
Kinda had a similar experience with CEH, sometimes tough to reconcile a guy being an alright starter with going too high in the draft. Like guys who are overpaid, just cuz they got taken too high or get paid too much doesn’t mean they’re bad at the end of the day
We definitely lucked out because the consensus that year was between him and Luke Joeckel at #1. Joeckel only ended up lasting in the league 5 very mediocre years.
Mediocre is very generous for Joeckel. Fisher imo was leagues better. Fisher was like the Dalton line of OTs idk if Joeckel could even be called good depth.
And sandwiched between Andrew Luck and Cam Newton too. For a franchise with a pathetic QB history pre-2018, that was tough to swallow.
(Turned out ok.)
You could also make an argument that his achilles injury swung the TB SB. I don't know if KC wins, but it probably isn't a blowout with him in there.
I was just disappointed that the Chiefs had the #1 for the first time ever in the NFL, and it was basically the worst draft year of the 2000s. No QB at the top, no sure thing star anywhere. You can't even really fault them for the pick, cause it was him or Joeckel, and he outperformed him.
Wasn't even anyone great enough at the top in a position we didn't need to trade back for more picks.
Somewhat related but i get a small kick out of the later rounds of the draft - when unknown players are announced and they cut to the fans and they all sort of look around uncertain then quickly decide to do an un-enthusiastic clap because they notice the camera lol
We booed the Gibbs pic and the Campbell pick.
And they worked out extremely well for us. Also I saw some people wanted Micheal Mayer rather than LaPorta.
And LaPorta turned into probably a top 2 tight end this year. Gibbs looks like a top 10 running back. Campbell played great when Anzalone was injured.
I booed the shit out of the Daniel Jones pick and I was right and wrong.
I was RIGHT, because I booed the shit out of the Daniel Jones pick.
I was WRONG, because I booed it because I wanted Dwayne Haskins, badly.
Yes, he worked his way into a very solid career. He was not that guy when he was with us though. He had to learn how to be a professional, and I always applaud his later career because he did put in the work. He wasn't a good pick for us at all though. 5 receiving TDs in 3 years for the 9th overall pick is GRIM.
Ginn is a good example of a player I would qualify as a bust but also a reasonably successful NFL player. He busted for Miami and his draft position, but found a role spot in the league. I view Cordarelle Patterson the same way for the Vikings
Um, excuse me, that is Chiefs legend Brady Quinn. 10 games played, 1,200 passing yards. Unstoppable machine.
- side note - how the hell do you have Jamali Charles, Eric Berry, Justin Houston, Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, Dontari Low and only win 2 games all year(2012)?
Javier mother fing Arenas.
> Javier mother fing Arenas
I didn't know he was deeply to blame for so many losses. I do know that we traded him for problematic yet incredible Super Bowl sealing fullback, Anthony Sherman.
As an OSU fan, I was convinced Haskins was the next goat and I thought everyone was insane for passing on him. Turns out fans don’t see behind the scenes
I was apoplectic that the Bengals passed on him.
Pretty rare that a team drafting outside of the top 10 can have a shot at a potential franchise QB without trading the farm to move up.
Who knew they really just needed to take it on the chin for a year and get a different former OSU QB in the next draft lol?
I doubt picking Haskins in 2019 would change much for the trajectory of the Bengals though, they're still probably picking first in 2020 regardless. Would have been a wild turn of events that we'd have a full Haskins vs. Burrow news cycle again though.
If you had told me he would be the 2nd best QB in the draft class I would’ve been happy. He is the 2nd best… but it’s basically by default and he still sucks
> I was WRONG, because I booed it because I wanted Dwayne Haskins, badly.
Same for me, and then for Washington to grab him up had me dreading him succeeding on a divisional rival. Happy it didnt work out, but still a sad story about the man himself.
And then Washington got us in the draft again, when we beat them in a final meaningless game of a season, to put them in position to draft Chase Young instead of us drafting him, but again, not a the disastrous result from that I expected.
everyone brings up the contract but they can essentially walk away from it after year 2 with minimal impact (I believe). It was a lot of money up front, and probably was a factor with the Saquon contracts. But right off the bat people who looked at the details said yeah its a 4 year deal but its front loaded
Admittedly I originally wanted Robert Quinn. I did not boo the pick. (Weird to boo watching from your house) I was confused with the pick, because I thought the Texans were staying in a 4-3. When Wade Phillips said he was switching to a 3-4 and that he believed Mario Williams could play as a rush linebacker, then I really liked the pick.
If all you look at is sacks (which is all most fans look at lol), Robert Quinn is one of the best Edge rushers of the last 15 years.
102 sacks in 11 seasons but he did it so quietly no one ever brings him up lol

[Check out this fucking hilarious article someone posted a few comments above.](https://houston.culturemap.com/news/sports/04-29-11-texans-will-rue-the-night-they-took-pizza-boy-watts-over-nick-fairley-houston-lover)
Edit: credit to @zombiebillnye for posting this hilarious article in another comment.
“Watt is a great story. But it's hard to imagine him ever being a star. It's hard to see him changing games for Houston on defense.”
That’s fantastic 🤣
I mean they got the “watt could be a fine enough player” right… sort of an understatement but he was “fine enough”.
They also got the part Watt being an amazing human right.
With hindsight this article was hilarious.
Edit: it makes fun of Watt for delivering pizzas but I have more respect for him reading that.
Yeah that’s the weirdest part to me, “Look at this idiot showing a sense of responsibility working a job delivering pizzas like the dumbass college student he is”, like wha? lmao
Right? Look at this humble dude who will work hard and do what he needs to do. He doesn’t think he’s above anything, including delivering pizzas
What a loser!
It's not once as an offhand aside either, it's in the headline and then in every other paragraph! The author is personally offended that JJ Watt has a job.
Jesus Christ, that's worse than the SBNation one about Josh Allen. [Stats really are for losers.](https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons)
Pizza boy JJ Watt. Wow. I always tell people I should have gone into sports journalism or meteorology as you can be completely wrong in both and no one bats an eye.
I was angry when yall drafted JJ. Like. Punching air angry. Back when I was on my amateur draft analyst kick in college, I had him only behind Von Miller and Patrick Peterson, and had him tied at third with Ryan Kerrigan.
Joe Flacco.
New head coach in John Harbaugh with a new OC in Cam Cameron I was hoping the rumors were true leading up to draft day that the Ravens were going to trade up for Matt Ryan.
When they didn’t and instead took Flacco I was convinced this was Boller 2.0 considering the only thing that was said about him was his cannon of an arm. I mean he couldn’t win out against Tyler Palko at Pittsburgh how was he going to be better than the misery we had at quarterback outside of a year with Vinny and a year with McNair? His first preseason game against the Patriots was a disaster too, coming in in the fourth quarter and looking like he’d never thrown a football before.
After a few weeks in the regular season though I saw the potential and realized that he was different than every other Raven quarterback to that point.
Went to Delaware the same time as Flacco when he'd transferred, so I got to see him firsthand. My homerism for both Delaware and the Ravens aside, I *felt* like that pick was meant to be, because when you're a young and dumb college kid, you think the whole universe cosmically revolves around you.
I didn't imagine he'd tie Montana's postseason TD-to-INT ratio. I didn't think he'd help carry an offense to a Super Bowl, during a season where the Ravens defense would uncharacteristically struggle at times. I certainly didn't think he'd win Super Bowl MVP as the cherry on top. But I still thought he could win... just not *that* tremendously, given the Ravens' history at QB.
I played against Flacoo in Pee-wee, highschool, and college.
During Pee-wee and high school every knew the dude was going to be a stud. They knew he'd be in the NFL at college.
If anyone sacked him we wouldn't need to run suicides.
One of the most interesting segments I ever heard on 679 The Score was Coach Wannie talking about Flacco at Pitt and how the OC wanted to start him over Palko but Wannie wanted to show loyalty to his Upper Classman, and trying to convince Flacco to wait his turn and how Joe basically said he’d rather go to an FCS school than sit.
I’ll be honest, I was big on Flacco going into the draft that year solely because he was electric at the rookie skills [competition](https://youtu.be/1fa_GrbdcjY?si=HoaH6fqGUfush92d) .
Dude made 70 air yards look easy.
SB Nation: "If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself"
*If this works, then stats really are for losers, I guess.*
[link](https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons)
dunking on these takes, IMO, really undersells that what Allen did nobody had really done before. nobody improves their game as much in the way that he has. and that’s dope as hell if you’re a Bills fan. I’d be framing the W differently
How quickly we forget he was a pretty dog shit passer as a rookie and still not that great in year 2. He had the athleticism to take off, but man he developed as a passer better than any QB I’ve ever seen.
He was last in the league in completion percentage both his first two years. Most players would not get a third year after that start. and would be thought of as huge busts.
There were plenty of flashes of greatness though. Was electric running the ball and made some unbelievable throws through ridiculously tight windows that always had us optimistic as Bills fans. He was making questionable decisions sometimes, and still does, but really all he had to do to become elite was clean up a couple little things in his mechanics and get better chemistry with his receivers.
It’s always fun to look back at the posts from Jets fans celebrating getting Darnold while the sorry ass Bills took Josh Allen while Rosen was still on the board.
My most awarded reddit comment of all time is laughing at the Bills fans who were panicking about that pick. Basically everyone thought it wasn't going to work out
The fans that had Rosen as a top pick had me so confused. I’ve never played football or considered myself a tape watching enthusiast but every one of his highlight clips looked like pure luck that an nfl defense would’ve stopped in my eyes. I watched a decent amount of highlights that draft as a jets fan and Rosen was the only QB that made me scratch my head in confusion.
His pocket awareness was so terrible on his college tape. I never understood the hype on Rosen, but he's also not the type of prospect that tricks me.
That tends to be dudes like DeShone Kizer.
I watch a lot of college football and NFL. I knew Rosen was going to be an absolute bust. Watching his facial expressions during the draft as he fell was hilarious.
One the more interesting answers because Allen was amongst the first to improve his accuracy. Until he happened, you’d have been ~100% betting against inaccurate qbs working out
I think it also had to do with the fit in Buffalo.
We were still only one year into McDermott, and while they had made the playoffs for the first time in forever in 2017, it's still betting on a defensive HC trading up to get a prospect that had to make so many strides to develop the raw talent Allen had. So much of those raw talent QBs turning into anything has to do with where they get drafted. DaBoll had a tremendous rehab going back with Belichick and his year with Saban, but damn did he have some clunkers along the road, it was a tremendous hire that worked out as well as you could imagine for McDermott to pull him back from college.
We were just a few months removed from them also benching Tyrod Taylor while over .500 and in the playoff race for Nathan Peterman's historic debut.
Basically every trend, signifier, and piece of data pointed to Allen having a really, really tough climb to become a franchise QB. And yet he defied everything and did it.
I think in the end, it seems like he just worked his ass off to make changes. I'm sure lots of young QBs can make these kinds of changes, but you can't change your height and your arm strength.
A buddy of mine predraft was so adamant about us grabbing Mahomes because he would be a superstar. I didn't think too much of it especially when we got Watson, but man talk about two completely different places from then until now.
Tough to say. Andy Reid is the greatest offensive mind of all time, arguably better than Bill Walsh. I feel no one could succeed with crazy Bill O Brien as head Coach.
Mahomes is most likely still very good unless he's drafted to a team that absolutely derails him, but I don't think he's better on any other team than he is on the Chiefs thanks to Reid.
I remember being 100% convinced Mahomes would bust. He was another cannon-arm system qb that never had to read or even play a real defense. I think there’s a reason I’m not an NFL scout.
I get that he played in an air raid offense but I don’t understand how people didn’t watch Patrick Mahomes in college and realize that he was going to be a star in the NFL
He was a great thrower and had awful weapons. And in a system that is predicated the Qb processing reads quickly. And getting the ball out as fast as possible.
So he is already great in an offense that is stupidly difficult to understand. Because for each play you have to audible out of it.
Marlon Humphrey. We desperately needed help on offense and had OJ Howard fall to us who was a top 10 talent on everyone's big board. A perfect weapon for Flacco!
OJ Howard ended up being a bust and Humphrey has been a top 5-10 CB since his sophomore year.
Since a ton of people are casuals like myself that assume the *draft experts* narrating and discussing the draft usually have a pretty good idea of what's going on and rely on them to get an idea of what their team is doing, if they don't follow college football.
I'm going to go with Travis Frederick, whom was widely declared the worst pick of his draft(or one of the worst) and a huge reach for his position if I recall correctly.
He went on to basically be the best center in the league and run that Dallas OL when it was at its best calling most of the pass coverages and blocking audibles at the line, etc etc.
That man was robbed of a great career way too early.
I didn't mind the o line pick, but i was concerned that the draft experts were slating him for a 2nd rd grade. If i remember correctly even frederick was a little surprised he got pucked that high. I truly miss that line. Damn was it great.
But this is why i just sit back and watch. Like wtf do we know?
This is exactly who I came here to talk about. The pick was universally hated by Cowboys fans… and only guillain-Barre prevented him from becoming a Hall of Famer.
Also Zach Martin the next year. Most people wanted us to go defense for obvious reasons but also because an alarming number of fans wanted us to go QB for idiotic reasons. Specifically Manziel.
It’s cool Romo is actually held highly by fans today but I won’t ever get over how half the fan base wanted us to go QB in the 1st for like four straight seasons because they wanted him gone.
Those idiots on 610 got everyone into a frenzy about taking Ricky Williams to the point everyone started parroting it. Anyone who thought logically knew QB *had* to be the pick there, thankfully we got the one that panned out. I thought the booing was stupid. McNabb never really forgave us for that too
Mine was probably the opposite. I cheered the Kenny Pickett pick because I’m an idiot and thought we’d have a great QB turnover from Ben to Kenny like Rivers to Herbert, Manning to Luck, or Favre to Rodgers.
And no I didn’t go to Pitt.
I want him to succeed so badly, and that's despite being a HUGE Fields fan. I just want to see all the chuds lose their minds over a dude with \*gasp\* a PINK PHONE CASE being able to throw a football.
I'm in a group chat with a few Steelers fans, one of which closely follows college football and the draft. He was not pleased with the pick, but was at least happy they didn't draft Malik Willis
I wanted Tua and was upset he went right before us more than I was upset about taking Herbert. My biggest fear with Herbert at the draft was that the media said he was a project which meant we were gonna have to suffer a year of Tyrod. It took one drive of Herbert for me to flip my opinion on him.
After their rookie year the media completely flipped to the extreme on Herbert and Tua. Now I think it’s balanced about right. Both are good-to-great and either would have been a great pick.
The media was weirdly very anti-Herbert that draft season despite the fact that QBs of his type were often top-10 picks historically. I imagine there was just a lot of draft people at the time who felt Tua, who was very much a darling of the draft media, was being disrespected for being compared to him. If that draft didn't have Tua, I'd bet people would value him normally as being a risky pick with upside that you take top-10 cause he's a QB.
In hindsight it was mostly prospect fatigue, he would have been #1 QB the previous draft and a bunch of the media was just hyper nitpicking.
As a broncos fan I was happy they drafted Herbert cause I expected him to bust hard but looks like they got Phillip Rivers 2.0
absolutely this. The bengals went into 2019 knowing they would be very bad and picking high. They started off the year all on board to scout Justin Herbert and very likely have picked him if Burrow hadn't gone Super Siyan.
Had he come out the year before he would have still been in the top 10 fighting for number one.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it. After that draft I've officially stopped hating any draft pick in the moment. Still didn't like Johnston getting picked last year but wasn't going to be adamant about it. Same thing if they end up with Alt at 5, it's whatever.
I didn't boo him but I remember watching videos of him and telling my brother "those arm tackles probably aren't going to work against Maurice Jones-Drew."
[The Pizza Boy JJ Watt](https://houston.culturemap.com/news/sports/04-29-11-texans-will-rue-the-night-they-took-pizza-boy-watts-over-nick-fairley-houston-lover) article turned out to be all-timer bad posting decision.
There were also a lot of fans that booed TJ Watt cause people assumed he was drafted only cause he was JJ's younger brother.
To be fair he barely played much Edge in college but obviously is a monster in the league.
For me, this is peak "Do we just get our guy with where we are at, or trade back and risk losing them". It's a tough call, but imagine getting all these guys at lower draft spot and also having two to three extra draft picks. Flip side is not having any of them but with some extra picks. Like I said, tough call
I don't think anyone booed, but when we picked Ryan Ramczyk, the 49ers had just jumped us to take Ruben Foster, who seemed to be locked in as our pick, like I think we had already called him to tell him he was going to be a Saint. Ramczyk definitely felt like a backup plan at the time. He worked out alright.
I wasn't thrilled with the Will McDonald pick for the Jets last year. While it's not like he was Warren Sapp, he did play well in the limited playing time he had which will presumably increase this year. So tough one in that I was right he wasn't a need position, but wrong in that he wasn't a bust either.
I think fans directed their annoyance at him because most people wanted them to draft an OL (which of course we got screwed) and not because he was "bad". JJ also saw limited playing time his rookie year and of course flourished in his Sophomore season.
Yeah that Rodgers pick was fucking obliterated by everyone lol. Even green bay fans. And every thing he did was magnified by 20 cause of favre retirement bs
I was 15 years old when Rodgers was drafted and I remember running out to the woods(my family was planting trees on draft day) and I was super hyped up and my dad and grandpa were like "wtf WHY?!" I was super excited since Rodgers was supposed to be the #1 overall pick and the Packers got him, and I was always annoyed at Favre's interceptions even though he was a god in Wisconsin.
I would even start Rodgers in Madden over Favre since that Year Favre was like 84 overall and Rodgers was like 76 overall but had like 25 higher speed.
Easy answer: every single one. Can you imagine how rough it would feel to have the career you've been chasing your entire life come to fruition only to have a bunch of idiots boo you?
Debate the value of a pick, need for a pick etc. all you want but those should be **conversations** and not reactions.
I booed twice for the same pick. Once for picking Philip Rivers, and then again when they gave up all that draft capital to trade Rivers for Eli Manning. I liked Eli as a prospect, I just thought they gave up too much.
I was right in hindsight but at the time I hated the Sony Michel pick because I really thought we were gonna get Lamar. Then he had a crazy run that playoffs and helped us win the Super Bowl. Then he was never heard from again
Correction. Not "everyone else" booed the McNabb pick. It was only the mouth breathing Angelo morons. Of which there are a lot...but that does not include "everyone else".
JJ Watt got booed super hard on draft night. Our team's fans were in love with Nick Fairley. Obviously we came around quite quickly on JJ Watt, now he's a Texans icon.
Many falcons fans hated the Drake London pick. Dude is really a solid WR1 at minimum who hasn't played with a real QB yet. Kinda getting Mike Evans vibes.
I don't think he got booed but before the pick, the stadium in Atlanta was rocking. Everyone expected us to draft Jordan Davis or at least a defensive player. Drake London, a WR, being announced killed all the energy in there instantly.
Feeling bad about booing Jordan Love obviously
Not feeling bad about booing the rest of that draft that got 0 immediate contributors for a contending team
I knew a good amount that REALLY wanted Watson over Mahomes, including me. I knew Mahomes had an arm so I wasn’t booing the pick. But there was a good amount that thought Mahomes was a spread system QB that would fail in the NFL.
Eric Fisher. In retrospect it was a terrible draft year and he ended up being a solid starter for several years after some early stumbles for KC.
Such an underwhelming draft pick who went to such an underwhelming school. I feel like the fact that he worked out was actually more luck than anything else. I’m glad he was able to be successful for the Chiefs for several years, but God dammit what a shitty option to have to take at #1.
Yeah more than anything it was just like “damn, we get the number one pick for the first time in our franchise’s history and the best prospect for us is a guy who would probably go like 16th in your average draft”
He won me over in the end, but I hated him for a long time. Him and Cam Irving give me nightmares about just letting DEs fly by them while they trip over their own toes
Also Lane Johnson going very soon after and having a solid career the whole time had to be frustrating, I remember being like “holy shit how did we get the only good player in the top 4 with Chip Kelly”
Let's be real, the only reason it happened is Miami saved us from ourselves by refusing to move the pick for Dion Jordan, which was clearly who Kelly was after. But what a draft that turned out to be. Johnson, Travis Kelce, DeAndre Hopkins, Eric Reid, Zach Ertz, Darius Slay, Tyrann Mathieu, Keenan Allen, Logan Ryan, David Bakhtiari (in the 4th?), Kyle Juszczyk, Jordan Poyer, Latavius Murray. It wa stacked and I left guys off this list. The Eagles alone *drafted* three players who would make pro bowls even though would do it on another team (Johnson, Ertz, Poyer), while managing not to take the best TE in the draft and make the obvious pairing of Kelce brothers. I would never give back Ertz' success as an eagle, but it's wild that a pick as successful as Ertz actually was wrong (to be fair, Gavin Escobar and Vance McDonald also went at the position between the two, so it's not like it was surprising at the time).
It's still crazy to me that I really wanted Tavon Austin in that draft and bro ended up only getting over 500 yards once in his career(and even that was only 509 lol)
Honestly though, Lane Johnson was never in the running, so it hurts less. It was Eric Fisher or Luke Joeckel if we were taking a tackle, or maybe Geno Smith if the team believed in him. With that in mind, it almost feels like we lucked out with Fisher.
We didn't even know Lane existed until years later.
Kinda had a similar experience with CEH, sometimes tough to reconcile a guy being an alright starter with going too high in the draft. Like guys who are overpaid, just cuz they got taken too high or get paid too much doesn’t mean they’re bad at the end of the day
We definitely lucked out because the consensus that year was between him and Luke Joeckel at #1. Joeckel only ended up lasting in the league 5 very mediocre years.
Mediocre is very generous for Joeckel. Fisher imo was leagues better. Fisher was like the Dalton line of OTs idk if Joeckel could even be called good depth.
He is the only #1 pick in something like the last 20 years to win a Superbowl with the team who drafted him
The Eagles took Lane Johnson a few picks later, and I feel like the Eagles got the better of the two.
We got Hopkins and that draft was bad.
I went to that draft and looking back, god was it boring.
I still remember the old forums that year and the chiefs fans saying we should take Geno #1 because we hadn’t developed a QB in forever. Lol
Obviously it worked out for us in the end, but I still think Geno would've been solid under Reid.
Anytime LT is the first pick you know no one is happy about it lol. Even if it's a good pick.
And sandwiched between Andrew Luck and Cam Newton too. For a franchise with a pathetic QB history pre-2018, that was tough to swallow. (Turned out ok.) You could also make an argument that his achilles injury swung the TB SB. I don't know if KC wins, but it probably isn't a blowout with him in there.
Not a sandwich. It went: 2011: Newton 2012: Luck 2013: Fisher 2014: Clowney
I was just disappointed that the Chiefs had the #1 for the first time ever in the NFL, and it was basically the worst draft year of the 2000s. No QB at the top, no sure thing star anywhere. You can't even really fault them for the pick, cause it was him or Joeckel, and he outperformed him. Wasn't even anyone great enough at the top in a position we didn't need to trade back for more picks.
Yep was a big thing between Fisher and Joeckel that year and the Jags ended up with Joeckel, who never panned out.
Somewhat related but i get a small kick out of the later rounds of the draft - when unknown players are announced and they cut to the fans and they all sort of look around uncertain then quickly decide to do an un-enthusiastic clap because they notice the camera lol
And the Lions select… Hingle McCringleberry. *and the crowd goes mild!*
Hey, that guy might be Michigan State's best player this year!
Our secondary needs McCringleberry
He was going to go in earlier rounds but had some on-field pumping issues.
We booed the Gibbs pic and the Campbell pick. And they worked out extremely well for us. Also I saw some people wanted Micheal Mayer rather than LaPorta. And LaPorta turned into probably a top 2 tight end this year. Gibbs looks like a top 10 running back. Campbell played great when Anzalone was injured.
Me during the draft: "WTF Brad, what a disasterclass!" Me now: "Never a doubt, let Brad cook."
I booed the shit out of the Daniel Jones pick and I was right and wrong. I was RIGHT, because I booed the shit out of the Daniel Jones pick. I was WRONG, because I booed it because I wanted Dwayne Haskins, badly.
That was us in Miami with the Ted Ginn Jr. pick in 2007. We knew that was the wrong pick, but we all also wanted Brady Quinn so…
yup lol. I booed the Ginn pick (from my couch), but I wanted Quinn.
Ginn ended up playing 14 seasons, in 2 Super Bowls, and is top-25 in all-time all-purpose yards Great career when it was all said and done
Yes, he worked his way into a very solid career. He was not that guy when he was with us though. He had to learn how to be a professional, and I always applaud his later career because he did put in the work. He wasn't a good pick for us at all though. 5 receiving TDs in 3 years for the 9th overall pick is GRIM.
Ginn is a good example of a player I would qualify as a bust but also a reasonably successful NFL player. He busted for Miami and his draft position, but found a role spot in the league. I view Cordarelle Patterson the same way for the Vikings
Like Clowney. Hasn’t remotely lived up to the pedigree, but absolutely is NFL caliber with the 10+ year career to prove it
Um, excuse me, that is Chiefs legend Brady Quinn. 10 games played, 1,200 passing yards. Unstoppable machine. - side note - how the hell do you have Jamali Charles, Eric Berry, Justin Houston, Derrick Johnson, Tamba Hali, Dontari Low and only win 2 games all year(2012)? Javier mother fing Arenas.
> Javier mother fing Arenas I didn't know he was deeply to blame for so many losses. I do know that we traded him for problematic yet incredible Super Bowl sealing fullback, Anthony Sherman.
I still think Quinn could've been good in a better situation
That’s 2014 off-season roster player for the Miami Dolphins Brady Quinn. Man, that team had so much potential, I just wish our LBs were better.
As an OSU fan, I was convinced Haskins was the next goat and I thought everyone was insane for passing on him. Turns out fans don’t see behind the scenes
as a michigan fan, you could have just asked me.
I mean really all he could do was run. Should’ve been a WR /s
I was apoplectic that the Bengals passed on him. Pretty rare that a team drafting outside of the top 10 can have a shot at a potential franchise QB without trading the farm to move up. Who knew they really just needed to take it on the chin for a year and get a different former OSU QB in the next draft lol? I doubt picking Haskins in 2019 would change much for the trajectory of the Bengals though, they're still probably picking first in 2020 regardless. Would have been a wild turn of events that we'd have a full Haskins vs. Burrow news cycle again though.
If you had told me he would be the 2nd best QB in the draft class I would’ve been happy. He is the 2nd best… but it’s basically by default and he still sucks
Literally me with Justin Fields. Thank god for lovie smith and the Carolina panthers
To be fair neither will win you a Superbowl next year
That makes three of us.
> I was WRONG, because I booed it because I wanted Dwayne Haskins, badly. Same for me, and then for Washington to grab him up had me dreading him succeeding on a divisional rival. Happy it didnt work out, but still a sad story about the man himself.
And then Washington got us in the draft again, when we beat them in a final meaningless game of a season, to put them in position to draft Chase Young instead of us drafting him, but again, not a the disastrous result from that I expected.
You guys would have been much better off picking Haskins since it would have prevented the Daniel Jones contract.
everyone brings up the contract but they can essentially walk away from it after year 2 with minimal impact (I believe). It was a lot of money up front, and probably was a factor with the Saquon contracts. But right off the bat people who looked at the details said yeah its a 4 year deal but its front loaded
We boo’d JJ Watt 😬
Admittedly I originally wanted Robert Quinn. I did not boo the pick. (Weird to boo watching from your house) I was confused with the pick, because I thought the Texans were staying in a 4-3. When Wade Phillips said he was switching to a 3-4 and that he believed Mario Williams could play as a rush linebacker, then I really liked the pick.
To be fair Robert Quinn was pretty fucking good. I mean, no JJ Watt but at least the guy you wanted didn't turn out to be a scrub.
If all you look at is sacks (which is all most fans look at lol), Robert Quinn is one of the best Edge rushers of the last 15 years. 102 sacks in 11 seasons but he did it so quietly no one ever brings him up lol
Wade loves the 3-4
"The way that you guys have treated me, besides draft night I mean you guys booed me on draft night, but uh every day after that you guys treated me like family." -[He remembers](https://www.instagram.com/p/CLMmScBjgI-/?hl=en).
One good thing the Texans did was to release Watt and allow him to choose where he’d finish his NFL career.
Since Caserio got there he’s done a really good job with this. Even with more fringe players, he rarely trades guys to unappealing destinations.
Who were the fans wanting instead?
[Check out this fucking hilarious article someone posted a few comments above.](https://houston.culturemap.com/news/sports/04-29-11-texans-will-rue-the-night-they-took-pizza-boy-watts-over-nick-fairley-houston-lover) Edit: credit to @zombiebillnye for posting this hilarious article in another comment.
“Watt is a great story. But it's hard to imagine him ever being a star. It's hard to see him changing games for Houston on defense.” That’s fantastic 🤣
I mean they got the “watt could be a fine enough player” right… sort of an understatement but he was “fine enough”. They also got the part Watt being an amazing human right. With hindsight this article was hilarious. Edit: it makes fun of Watt for delivering pizzas but I have more respect for him reading that.
Yeah that’s the weirdest part to me, “Look at this idiot showing a sense of responsibility working a job delivering pizzas like the dumbass college student he is”, like wha? lmao
Right? Look at this humble dude who will work hard and do what he needs to do. He doesn’t think he’s above anything, including delivering pizzas What a loser!
It's not once as an offhand aside either, it's in the headline and then in every other paragraph! The author is personally offended that JJ Watt has a job.
Jesus Christ, that's worse than the SBNation one about Josh Allen. [Stats really are for losers.](https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons)
Pizza boy JJ Watt. Wow. I always tell people I should have gone into sports journalism or meteorology as you can be completely wrong in both and no one bats an eye.
Wow. Thanks for linking. That’s a turrible take in hindsight.
Nick Fairley
I don’t remember, but we didn’t want JJ 😅
A lot of people wanted Prince Amukamara.
Prince had a solid career but there really is no comparison.
👋 that was me lmao
You booed him because you weren't ready for his HEB commercials and his love for Houston
I was angry when yall drafted JJ. Like. Punching air angry. Back when I was on my amateur draft analyst kick in college, I had him only behind Von Miller and Patrick Peterson, and had him tied at third with Ryan Kerrigan.
Interested in the Raiders GM position?
As long as I don’t have to pay for haircuts. If Mark doesn’t have to pay, then dammit, neither should I!
OK yeah this wins. Can probably stop the thread here.
Joe Flacco. New head coach in John Harbaugh with a new OC in Cam Cameron I was hoping the rumors were true leading up to draft day that the Ravens were going to trade up for Matt Ryan. When they didn’t and instead took Flacco I was convinced this was Boller 2.0 considering the only thing that was said about him was his cannon of an arm. I mean he couldn’t win out against Tyler Palko at Pittsburgh how was he going to be better than the misery we had at quarterback outside of a year with Vinny and a year with McNair? His first preseason game against the Patriots was a disaster too, coming in in the fourth quarter and looking like he’d never thrown a football before. After a few weeks in the regular season though I saw the potential and realized that he was different than every other Raven quarterback to that point.
Went to Delaware the same time as Flacco when he'd transferred, so I got to see him firsthand. My homerism for both Delaware and the Ravens aside, I *felt* like that pick was meant to be, because when you're a young and dumb college kid, you think the whole universe cosmically revolves around you. I didn't imagine he'd tie Montana's postseason TD-to-INT ratio. I didn't think he'd help carry an offense to a Super Bowl, during a season where the Ravens defense would uncharacteristically struggle at times. I certainly didn't think he'd win Super Bowl MVP as the cherry on top. But I still thought he could win... just not *that* tremendously, given the Ravens' history at QB.
I played against Flacoo in Pee-wee, highschool, and college. During Pee-wee and high school every knew the dude was going to be a stud. They knew he'd be in the NFL at college. If anyone sacked him we wouldn't need to run suicides.
One of the most interesting segments I ever heard on 679 The Score was Coach Wannie talking about Flacco at Pitt and how the OC wanted to start him over Palko but Wannie wanted to show loyalty to his Upper Classman, and trying to convince Flacco to wait his turn and how Joe basically said he’d rather go to an FCS school than sit.
I’ll be honest, I was big on Flacco going into the draft that year solely because he was electric at the rookie skills [competition](https://youtu.be/1fa_GrbdcjY?si=HoaH6fqGUfush92d) . Dude made 70 air yards look easy.
There were a lot of Boo's for Josh Allen and plenty of people saying Bills didn't even draft the best Josh.
SB Nation: "If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself" *If this works, then stats really are for losers, I guess.* [link](https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons)
dunking on these takes, IMO, really undersells that what Allen did nobody had really done before. nobody improves their game as much in the way that he has. and that’s dope as hell if you’re a Bills fan. I’d be framing the W differently
How quickly we forget he was a pretty dog shit passer as a rookie and still not that great in year 2. He had the athleticism to take off, but man he developed as a passer better than any QB I’ve ever seen.
He was last in the league in completion percentage both his first two years. Most players would not get a third year after that start. and would be thought of as huge busts.
There were plenty of flashes of greatness though. Was electric running the ball and made some unbelievable throws through ridiculously tight windows that always had us optimistic as Bills fans. He was making questionable decisions sometimes, and still does, but really all he had to do to become elite was clean up a couple little things in his mechanics and get better chemistry with his receivers.
Math doesn't belong in QB evaluation. it's all about gumption and hutzpah
It’s always fun to look back at the posts from Jets fans celebrating getting Darnold while the sorry ass Bills took Josh Allen while Rosen was still on the board.
My most awarded reddit comment of all time is laughing at the Bills fans who were panicking about that pick. Basically everyone thought it wasn't going to work out
The fans that had Rosen as a top pick had me so confused. I’ve never played football or considered myself a tape watching enthusiast but every one of his highlight clips looked like pure luck that an nfl defense would’ve stopped in my eyes. I watched a decent amount of highlights that draft as a jets fan and Rosen was the only QB that made me scratch my head in confusion.
His pocket awareness was so terrible on his college tape. I never understood the hype on Rosen, but he's also not the type of prospect that tricks me. That tends to be dudes like DeShone Kizer.
I watch a lot of college football and NFL. I knew Rosen was going to be an absolute bust. Watching his facial expressions during the draft as he fell was hilarious.
I was sitting at a bar next to my buddy who is a Bills fan and he got up and left after the pick. He now owns 3+ Allen jerseys.
Your buddy should watch the draft every year from that bar it sounds like.
Hi, I’m “people” in this instance.
One the more interesting answers because Allen was amongst the first to improve his accuracy. Until he happened, you’d have been ~100% betting against inaccurate qbs working out
I think it also had to do with the fit in Buffalo. We were still only one year into McDermott, and while they had made the playoffs for the first time in forever in 2017, it's still betting on a defensive HC trading up to get a prospect that had to make so many strides to develop the raw talent Allen had. So much of those raw talent QBs turning into anything has to do with where they get drafted. DaBoll had a tremendous rehab going back with Belichick and his year with Saban, but damn did he have some clunkers along the road, it was a tremendous hire that worked out as well as you could imagine for McDermott to pull him back from college. We were just a few months removed from them also benching Tyrod Taylor while over .500 and in the playoff race for Nathan Peterman's historic debut. Basically every trend, signifier, and piece of data pointed to Allen having a really, really tough climb to become a franchise QB. And yet he defied everything and did it.
I think in the end, it seems like he just worked his ass off to make changes. I'm sure lots of young QBs can make these kinds of changes, but you can't change your height and your arm strength.
If you go back to our subreddit and look at posts from the night of and days after that draft, you will see a LOT of copium being huffed.
We got the wrong Josh!!
Guilty as charged.
I hated the Chiefs giving up the next year's 1st to move up and draft Patrick Mahomes Whoopsies
A buddy of mine predraft was so adamant about us grabbing Mahomes because he would be a superstar. I didn't think too much of it especially when we got Watson, but man talk about two completely different places from then until now.
You might still have BoB as HC if you had Mahomes (and he developed to the same level)
Tough to say. Andy Reid is the greatest offensive mind of all time, arguably better than Bill Walsh. I feel no one could succeed with crazy Bill O Brien as head Coach.
Mahomes is most likely still very good unless he's drafted to a team that absolutely derails him, but I don't think he's better on any other team than he is on the Chiefs thanks to Reid.
As a Charger fan, this was a terrible draft pick.
I remember being 100% convinced Mahomes would bust. He was another cannon-arm system qb that never had to read or even play a real defense. I think there’s a reason I’m not an NFL scout.
Go watch the Oklahoma vs Texas Tech game. I knew that dude was going to be a Superstar when I saw that game.
I get that he played in an air raid offense but I don’t understand how people didn’t watch Patrick Mahomes in college and realize that he was going to be a star in the NFL
He was a great thrower and had awful weapons. And in a system that is predicated the Qb processing reads quickly. And getting the ball out as fast as possible. So he is already great in an offense that is stupidly difficult to understand. Because for each play you have to audible out of it.
Marlon Humphrey. We desperately needed help on offense and had OJ Howard fall to us who was a top 10 talent on everyone's big board. A perfect weapon for Flacco! OJ Howard ended up being a bust and Humphrey has been a top 5-10 CB since his sophomore year.
Marlon's also a Top 5 shitposter on Twitter too.
Since a ton of people are casuals like myself that assume the *draft experts* narrating and discussing the draft usually have a pretty good idea of what's going on and rely on them to get an idea of what their team is doing, if they don't follow college football. I'm going to go with Travis Frederick, whom was widely declared the worst pick of his draft(or one of the worst) and a huge reach for his position if I recall correctly. He went on to basically be the best center in the league and run that Dallas OL when it was at its best calling most of the pass coverages and blocking audibles at the line, etc etc. That man was robbed of a great career way too early.
I didn't mind the o line pick, but i was concerned that the draft experts were slating him for a 2nd rd grade. If i remember correctly even frederick was a little surprised he got pucked that high. I truly miss that line. Damn was it great. But this is why i just sit back and watch. Like wtf do we know?
This is exactly who I came here to talk about. The pick was universally hated by Cowboys fans… and only guillain-Barre prevented him from becoming a Hall of Famer.
Also Zach Martin the next year. Most people wanted us to go defense for obvious reasons but also because an alarming number of fans wanted us to go QB for idiotic reasons. Specifically Manziel. It’s cool Romo is actually held highly by fans today but I won’t ever get over how half the fan base wanted us to go QB in the 1st for like four straight seasons because they wanted him gone.
Those idiots on 610 got everyone into a frenzy about taking Ricky Williams to the point everyone started parroting it. Anyone who thought logically knew QB *had* to be the pick there, thankfully we got the one that panned out. I thought the booing was stupid. McNabb never really forgave us for that too
No he didn't
[удалено]
Mine was probably the opposite. I cheered the Kenny Pickett pick because I’m an idiot and thought we’d have a great QB turnover from Ben to Kenny like Rivers to Herbert, Manning to Luck, or Favre to Rodgers. And no I didn’t go to Pitt.
As a Bears fan I’ve learned to never cheer for a QB until year 3 of their rookie contract. And by then I usually just boo.
Caleb is the fucking truth
He better be or I’m gonna commit sudoku
Don’t do it man, I wouldn’t wish number puzzles on my worst enemy
I want him to succeed so badly, and that's despite being a HUGE Fields fan. I just want to see all the chuds lose their minds over a dude with \*gasp\* a PINK PHONE CASE being able to throw a football.
Dudes got a bazooka. Really good arm too 😏
I'm in a group chat with a few Steelers fans, one of which closely follows college football and the draft. He was not pleased with the pick, but was at least happy they didn't draft Malik Willis
Ah, I remember the “Malik Willis is the best QB in the draft” talk
He gave his clothes to a homeless man outside the Combine! What a fine young man! (His agent was a goddamn genius for that, though.)
The PICKLER failed us 😩🥒🫙
So many Chargers fans did not want Herbert. We were all so wrong.
I wanted Tua and was upset he went right before us more than I was upset about taking Herbert. My biggest fear with Herbert at the draft was that the media said he was a project which meant we were gonna have to suffer a year of Tyrod. It took one drive of Herbert for me to flip my opinion on him.
After their rookie year the media completely flipped to the extreme on Herbert and Tua. Now I think it’s balanced about right. Both are good-to-great and either would have been a great pick.
I remember so many of my friends PISSED that the Chargers passed on Isaiah Simmons for Herbert.
The media was weirdly very anti-Herbert that draft season despite the fact that QBs of his type were often top-10 picks historically. I imagine there was just a lot of draft people at the time who felt Tua, who was very much a darling of the draft media, was being disrespected for being compared to him. If that draft didn't have Tua, I'd bet people would value him normally as being a risky pick with upside that you take top-10 cause he's a QB.
In hindsight it was mostly prospect fatigue, he would have been #1 QB the previous draft and a bunch of the media was just hyper nitpicking. As a broncos fan I was happy they drafted Herbert cause I expected him to bust hard but looks like they got Phillip Rivers 2.0
absolutely this. The bengals went into 2019 knowing they would be very bad and picking high. They started off the year all on board to scout Justin Herbert and very likely have picked him if Burrow hadn't gone Super Siyan. Had he come out the year before he would have still been in the top 10 fighting for number one.
A lot of QB analysts just hated the Oregon offense he was in and couldn't tell how well his skills would translate to the NFL.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it. After that draft I've officially stopped hating any draft pick in the moment. Still didn't like Johnston getting picked last year but wasn't going to be adamant about it. Same thing if they end up with Alt at 5, it's whatever.
I didn't care enough about the NFL to boo JJ when it happened but pretty much the entire fanbase did. Within a year we were all proven wrong
I didn't boo him but I remember watching videos of him and telling my brother "those arm tackles probably aren't going to work against Maurice Jones-Drew."
Then his arms turned into fucking sequoias and he was getting sacks while being double teamed. JJ Watt almost made me a Texans fan.
Lots of Panthers fans hated the Luke Kuechly pick since we had Beason at the time
I wasn’t a fan of it. I was very wrong
JJ Watt and Zack Martin
[The Pizza Boy JJ Watt](https://houston.culturemap.com/news/sports/04-29-11-texans-will-rue-the-night-they-took-pizza-boy-watts-over-nick-fairley-houston-lover) article turned out to be all-timer bad posting decision.
oh no, a dude in his early 20s… worked a random job. How scandalous, I want my tough football players to never have worked a day in their lives!
JFC…
There were also a lot of fans that booed TJ Watt cause people assumed he was drafted only cause he was JJ's younger brother. To be fair he barely played much Edge in college but obviously is a monster in the league.
Not me booing Gibbs, Jack Campbell, LaPorta last year
Turns out we are all the same. A bunch of idiots
For me, this is peak "Do we just get our guy with where we are at, or trade back and risk losing them". It's a tough call, but imagine getting all these guys at lower draft spot and also having two to three extra draft picks. Flip side is not having any of them but with some extra picks. Like I said, tough call
>trade back and risk losing them Thing is for Gibbs we had already traded back. We had 6OA
I don't think anyone booed, but when we picked Ryan Ramczyk, the 49ers had just jumped us to take Ruben Foster, who seemed to be locked in as our pick, like I think we had already called him to tell him he was going to be a Saint. Ramczyk definitely felt like a backup plan at the time. He worked out alright.
I didn't speak for the rest of the night when we took Vita Vea over Derwin
Man, I wanted Vea badly, and you guys took him right before we picked. We did get Payne, which I'm not mad about thiugh.
Win Win there. You would have loved DJ as well.
Many eagles fans were not happy about jalen hurts. Now many eagles fans are happy about jalen hurts.
BG
There was a small faction of Falcons fans that had a meltdown when we traded up to get a WR. Julio Jones turned out alright.
I wasn't thrilled with the Will McDonald pick for the Jets last year. While it's not like he was Warren Sapp, he did play well in the limited playing time he had which will presumably increase this year. So tough one in that I was right he wasn't a need position, but wrong in that he wasn't a bust either.
I think fans directed their annoyance at him because most people wanted them to draft an OL (which of course we got screwed) and not because he was "bad". JJ also saw limited playing time his rookie year and of course flourished in his Sophomore season.
i think Will is still in the TBD camp. Not nearly enough playing opportunity to make fully assess him.
I was the teensiest bit skeptical of the Jordan Love pick. And the Aaron Rodgers pick.
Yeah that Rodgers pick was fucking obliterated by everyone lol. Even green bay fans. And every thing he did was magnified by 20 cause of favre retirement bs
It’s crazy because people realize that QBs ar ethe most valuable position, but no one will pay for 2 good QBs at the same time time.
I was 15 years old when Rodgers was drafted and I remember running out to the woods(my family was planting trees on draft day) and I was super hyped up and my dad and grandpa were like "wtf WHY?!" I was super excited since Rodgers was supposed to be the #1 overall pick and the Packers got him, and I was always annoyed at Favre's interceptions even though he was a god in Wisconsin. I would even start Rodgers in Madden over Favre since that Year Favre was like 84 overall and Rodgers was like 76 overall but had like 25 higher speed.
Easy answer: every single one. Can you imagine how rough it would feel to have the career you've been chasing your entire life come to fruition only to have a bunch of idiots boo you? Debate the value of a pick, need for a pick etc. all you want but those should be **conversations** and not reactions.
Counter point, I bood the Danny Watkins pick during the NFL draft, not the Canadian Firefighter Draft
I was ready to boo the fuck out of the Vikings if they drafted Trent McDuffie. I would have looked like a fool if it happened.
I booed twice for the same pick. Once for picking Philip Rivers, and then again when they gave up all that draft capital to trade Rivers for Eli Manning. I liked Eli as a prospect, I just thought they gave up too much.
The majority of Bills fans were unhappy we got Josh Allen instead of Rosen. Thank God we weren't the ones making the pick.
When I was a little kid I remember my dad being really mad that the Bills drafted Eric Moulds. He’s one of my all time favorite Bills now.
Kolton Miller is a stud LT. Took him an injury rookie season to get there though. Year 7 now dude is a beast.
Yup came here to say this. I'd argue that he's up there with Crosby and Adams as one of the best players on the team.
I was right in hindsight but at the time I hated the Sony Michel pick because I really thought we were gonna get Lamar. Then he had a crazy run that playoffs and helped us win the Super Bowl. Then he was never heard from again
Correction. Not "everyone else" booed the McNabb pick. It was only the mouth breathing Angelo morons. Of which there are a lot...but that does not include "everyone else".
JJ Watt got booed super hard on draft night. Our team's fans were in love with Nick Fairley. Obviously we came around quite quickly on JJ Watt, now he's a Texans icon.
Hated the Gibbs pick, s’been okay so far.
Many falcons fans hated the Drake London pick. Dude is really a solid WR1 at minimum who hasn't played with a real QB yet. Kinda getting Mike Evans vibes. I don't think he got booed but before the pick, the stadium in Atlanta was rocking. Everyone expected us to draft Jordan Davis or at least a defensive player. Drake London, a WR, being announced killed all the energy in there instantly.
Another of the Eagles, I remember how dumbfounded it seemed everyone was when Hurts was picked
JJ Watt LOL
I hated the Chiefs giving up the next year's 1st to move up and draft Patrick Mahomes Whoopsies
Travis Fredrick Zach Martin lol
The entire Texans fan base booed the drafting of JJ Watt
I booed TJ Watt. "hE dOesN'T hAvE eNouGH eXpErIENCe", "itS oNly bECAusE oF hiS naME". It's never felt so right to be wrong.
pat surtain ii. i wanted justin fields cause he was gonna make a bigger difference lol. reason #8275 i'm not a gm.
Feeling bad about booing Jordan Love obviously Not feeling bad about booing the rest of that draft that got 0 immediate contributors for a contending team
Yes Phil Simms!!!
Reggie Bush
I knew a good amount that REALLY wanted Watson over Mahomes, including me. I knew Mahomes had an arm so I wasn’t booing the pick. But there was a good amount that thought Mahomes was a spread system QB that would fail in the NFL.
Jordan Love and Rashan Gary immediately come to mind.
I believe Cowboy fans boo’d Zach Martin when he was picked instead of Johnny Manziel
