IMO, it was not a "no brainer" because of his knee. He couldn't have passed a physical for many teams. |

At the time, wasn't Dorsey considered to be the best overall player in the draft?

Each and every draft in the past ten years has proven that the NFL is privy to information not available to every guy that registers an internet domain. If Dorsey was the consensus best player, why was he available at #5? |

2008 consensus was pretty much Jake Long, Chris Long, Matt Ryan, and Glenn Dorsey were all 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d. They were all pretty interchangeable.

I dunno, I don't really remember that draft, I was a sophomore in college and didn't follow it to awful close. Thought I remembered it being a surprise he fell that far but that it was due to positional something or another

I cant stand the "consensus" bullshit excuse when a player sucks ass. Basically trying to reason a mistake a way by claiming others would have done the same.

It's hard to judge guys after we know what they are as players in the leagues vs when they were prospects.

The consensus was everyone giving Dallas shit for taking Martin in the 1st. They nailed that one. "The Consensus" was Bridgewater wasn't worth a top pick because of one shitty workout. Oops! "The Consensus" is how you end up with Eric Fisher as your left tackle, because he was one of the top 2 players in the draft. Tired of hearing the "reaching" shit because of "x", "y", and "z". That's how guys most people know have real talent like Russel Wilson and Justin Houston drop to the third. Last edited by BigCatDaddy; 01-04-2015 at 03:38 PM.. |

But i think some of this isn't that the players picked are bad, they just aren't developed very well either. |

No, sometimes players just bust because they are not very good, lazy, etc......a variety of reasons really. Every team has picks who bust. Every single one.

I just hate the "term" consensus. The "consensus" was Andy Reid was the best option on the market. You don't always have to go against the grain, but there is nothing wrong with doing your own thing without fear of criticism because "the consensus".

To your example, I wanted Chip Kelley as HC. Reid was probably the 2nd best option and fact is Clark went after him because wanted to end the circus we had going on and no one should blame him. Fact is it has worked to some degree. |
