That's what I said in 06' and all that has happened in the last 5 years just validates it.
There's only 1 reallistic pick you could justify over Vernon Davis. Hali Ngata.
The Vernon selection is hardly the reason why we've struggled for years.
Before the draft. I wanted Ngata and then later in the 1st Marcedes Lewis. Of course the Vernon draft is not THE reason, just another one of many bad picks
I thought you said you wanted Cutler, I think you say you wanted whoever the current player that is playing better is
No.
In March of 2005 I wanted to pass on both Rodgers and Smith, and wait for next year to draft a QB. In March of 2005 I was anticipating these QB's in this order...Cutler, Leinart and Young.
Since we drafted Alex Smith in 2005, come March of 2006 I obviously adjusted. Based on our needs as of March 2006 I wantede Ngata and Marcedes. In fact I don't ever really want any TE in the 1st round at all, but I did want Alex to have a security blanket so I was willing to use the late 1st rounder on Marcedes.
To get even more technical, I probably would have wanted a LT in the 1st round of 2006 but we signed Jonas Jennings already...BTW I was in the vast minority who knew that was a bad signing too.
BTW, why would you accuse me of lying when I ALWAYS admitted to not wanting
Rodgers or Smith and in fact wanting Smith a bit more over Rodgers.
Cutler and Marcedes are nothing to write home about it either, but here i admit wanting to draft them.
