2009 is what average drafts look like, honestly.
A few starters, a couple reserves, and a few busts.
We forget that because we've been repeating the "2009 was an abortion!" mantra for four years. But it wasn't, at least not the draft.
The biggest crime of the 2009 draft was trading the high 2nd for Matt Cassel, who basically single-handedly torpedoed this franchise for four years while ***** played the fiddle.
Getting pissed off at that decision is 100% understandable. And if you believe that poisoned the well against the rest of the draft, that's also 100% understandable.
But calling the other picks total garbage is pretty much deadwrong.
This team has had some extremely good drafting over the past half-decade that we forget what an average draft looks like.
Check out some of the Vermeil drafts if you want to see an organization shit itself at the draft.
