Sure, but DJ was a consensus fantastic pick for our slot. Hell, we had Trent Green and the most amazing offense EVAR assembled that year. Nobody was pissed about picking DJ. I don't like to go back and say what if, unless it's obvious we ****ed up AT THE TIME.

Hell, I'm sure people will complain that we didn't pick up Flacco last year some time down the road. Even though Dorsey was an awesome pick and value for the slotting we had and nobody thought he'd fall to 5.

That period is the downfall of this organization we kept taking defense defense defense as the offense aged and we never got players to replace them.

If we had just taken the best players we could have had our QB behind Green for a year or 2, we'd have better receivers and our line would have never got to what it has.

Sure, but you can't argue the fact that picking up DJ at #12 was widely regarded as great value for a position we needed...he just didn't pan out.

And yeah, that period was a total cluster**** and we have DV and CP to thank for that. Crybaby Grandpa ****ed this franchise harder than Herm ever could have hoped to.
