Too many just to pick one:Dexter Jackson the turf eater not the Super Bowl MVPMyron Hurt Lewis, dude sucks and we passd up going after Cromartie for this bumChris Colmer, seriously what the hellRoy MillerLuke StockerMark Barron
Gaines (rip). There was a lot of talent that draft and we got him.It's one of the main reasons I wouldn't ever pick his position early. More often than not, many "skill" players get passed because the team has a need.And imvho, it's OK to draft or FA for need, but it's also even more wise to play conservative and have both skill and need coexist within the same pick. Probably why some mocks have us picking up Te'o. Fills a need and could possibly be BPA (if teams get corner-hungry) by 13.
The only one that I can clearly remember was the Clayton pick with Steven Jackson still on the board. Had we picked Jackson instead of Clayton in 2004, so many other things wouldn't have happened (like taking Caddy the following year when Demarcus Ware was on the board which would have changed the following pick from Gaines Adams to perhaps Patrick Willis).
Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.
2009 17 Josh Freeman Quarterback Kansas State Percy Harvin or the 5-6th ranked qb in a college conference... and we took the 5-6 ranked qb... made me physically ill.
