If memory serves everyone wanted Trey Benson who I think will still be good.

Blake Corum, Marshawn Lloyd, Jaylen Wright, Jonathan Brooks, Ray Davis

If I wasn't so lazy I'd go screenshot my Bucky prediction after we drafted him against all the haters.

I'm trying to remember which rb some others wanted on here... 

Thise Duck vibes are strong…

To be honest, Bucky has made me forget anyone I plugged in during that draft. Really nice RB room right now.

 

Yeah I can be a homer at times but the ironic part is I didn't think Herbert would be as good as he is... Cristobal made him look average.

Once Bucky got hurt the Ducks offense fell off... He constantly made something out of nothing and continues to do so in the pros 

 

Trust me, if Emeka blows up this season, I’m going full homer mode myself, so I get it.

Bucky’s/Oregon’s success have earned you the right to fly that Duck flag baby! Good players are attracted to good programs… don’t know how Bucky flew under the radar. He’s a talented warrior!

Oh I'm 100% sure Emeka is going to be amazing. When the pick happened I love, I still love it, and I will continue to love it.

Watched him carve up the Ducks plenty. But more than that, OSU is WRU.

His 40 time wasn't good and Ducks don't historically produce a bunch of good rbs sans Freeman and Blount.

That plus he got hurt, he's on the smaller side, and he split a lot of carries.

Yep, now I remember, I was on the Ray Davis boat until we selected Bucky. I didn’t know much about him, surprised me that Coen knew Ray Davis, but selected Bucky - that made me think he knew something some of us didn’t. It turned out, he did!

And he could be good along with the rest... But we clearly got the best of the bunch.

Jonathan Brooks is probably not gonna play many NFL snaps sadly.

herbert reputation living off his first 2 years in the league. He’s dropped off quite a bit the last 3 years yet some still have him as top 10 QB

Don't really follow the selection of players beyond reading what most people post here.  

It seem nearly impossible to accurately guess what a team is going to do because there is so much more in the selection than straight talent of the player or even need of the team For example, we're usually not privy to the unique insight the team might have. Morrison is connected to Bowles, one example.  Also not privy to the actual status of players, whether that be injury, retirement or even expected future contract demands. Or, maybe one of the Bucs scouts has more sway than another etc, so in a close call that go with that player.. Did Irving have any meaningful input to the drafting of Tez etc etc.

Easy to identify the needs, but not the picks especially as you go down rounds.

You don't think he's a top 10 QB? That's crazy. I know he needs to win in the playoffs but he hasn't had much in the way of a supporting cast.

If you put Herbert in our offense with our weapons he would be prolific. His arm talent + mobility is elite.

Over 5 years he has 137 TDs and only 45 picks.

Winston had that many picks in 2 seasons.

He's throwing to players that simply cannot catch the ball sans McConkey. 

Below average line. Below average RB.

Comically bad coaching prior to Harbaugh.

The difference between arm chair gm (we should take xyz).

Vs

Guessing what Licht/Bowles will take (predicting based on what we know about them and the team).

I was banging the drum for Bucky but I didn't think we'd take him. I also thought he'd go in the 2nd round.

Tez I'd wager was a function of pure value. I thought he'd be a 5th rounder.
