Not to cry over spilt milk, but what if the Commish hadn't robbed us over the #31 pick in 2008. Who would have been the best pick?
Looking at the likely possibilities and who we might have taken, some players that come to mind include:
- Kenny Phillips, S (went #32 to the Giants). He would have made a nice complement to Meriweather. While I think Chung will turn out fine for us, having more speed at S would have helped last year, and would have allowed us to use the #34 pick in 2009 on a pass rusher (Connor Barwin, Everett Brown, Clint Sintim) or SILB (Rey Maualuga), all of whom were available.
- DeSean Jackson, WR (went #49 to the Eagles). Considered a 1st round talent by many, slipped to the 2nd round. Imagine what a WR combo of Moss, Welker and Jackson would be like.
- Quentin Groves, LB (went #52 to Jacksonville). A lot of people wanted him badly. Not sure how he'll pan out, but he certainly had nice potential.
Anyone else come to mind?
Again, I'm not crying over what's done, but some of these guys might have fit in nicely.
