omeone like Jenkins or Siavii on the other hand, they were busts plus they were reaches. That's the height of GM ineptitude.

The Siavii fiasco was worse than the Sims pick by far. Olshansky was on the board for us but Carl traded down and we missed him. Instead we got Siavii who was worthless and Wilson who likely could have been had much later. Those are serious draft blunders. Much worse than drafting the top rated player and having that player turn out to be a bust.
