Apparently, we really wanted a special teams player like Larry Izzo in the first.
I was going to go through and look for the "Volmer? that guy wasn't even at the combine" and "Stevan Ridley? Who? He barely even played for his college team" and "Shane Vereen... in the 2nd? Reach." "Jamie Collins? The guy has no position" e.t.c
But i think the point has been well made time and time again. You miss some and you hit some and the reality is (although people pretend otherwise), you have no idea when a player is going to be drafted.
Nothing is seared into my draft day memory more than the absolute consensus from posters the year Chandler Jones was drafted being.
"Chandler Jones? Geez he's raw. Looks like BB has drafted a project in the 1st. Lucky we drafted Bequette in the 3rd. Bequette is much more polished and should push for a starting job in camp".
