I mean you cant be successful in this league and miss out on those players while spending picks 2 of 3 picks on guys that never made any contribution!

Man, it's sickening that we missed those players.. Not many people believed Chris Johnson would be successful before he was drafted due to his size.. We had Portis at that time, we did not think we need another RB, it would have been awesome if we drafted Johnson or Charles..

I really wanted us to draft Jordy Nelson but I am kinda glad we didn't because he have not really done much since he was drafted, but he is good #3 wr.. Some of us would be screaming for Vinny's head if we drafted Jackson because we already had Moss and we needed a tall WR.. Vinny believed he took care of that problem by drafting Thomas and Kelly, but it did not turn out well for us obviously.
