Close Only Counts In Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

What is interesting is that the Redskins scurried to trade up at that point to secure Jason Campbell as the #25 pick.

Homer Simpson says it best ...

is all I have to say about this sorry excuse for a thread.

We've gone down this road so many times...every season...and yet, it still ends with the same conclusion..."so what?"

Every team, even the 2010 Packers have these scenarios and unwarranted regrets.

I'm sure teams needing safeties have said "we were one pick away from Sean Taylor or LaRon Landry". Look at all of the teams probably regretting letting Orakpo go by on the draft board....who would have imagined he'd fall all the way to us at #13?

How is Andre Smith working out with the Bengals. Heyward-Bey? 25 teams passed on Clay Matthews. 21 teams let Percy Harvin go by them. Even Michael Oher is better than the 23rd pick he was taken with.

Every team has these scenarios in every draft.


Pointless thread is pointless.
