Joshua Garnett OG - 28th overall pick, released

I understand that you have whiffs. Like maybe some character concerns like Reuben Foster. Or off field issues like Aldon. You can't predict those things. But at least you SAW the talent that was there and took a chance. In some sense, I'm okay with them swinging and missing on those. Because it tells me that the GM actually understands how to scout great talent at the position, so you can get it right the next time.....

Did Garnett have an injury history prior to being drafted? I truly don't know, but I don't remember once hearing about it either. Also, he had a total tough guy rep too. Assuming he was not injured in college, how is that the fault of the people that drafted him?

Most people were excited about the Garnett pick, now it looks horrible, especially with the way Michael Thomas has played, now getting a $100M deal.

Sucks I was so high on him during the draft

It goes to show you...you could be a workhorse with no injuries issues in college and then become Garnett or Ward (both were healthy through college).

Very true. Either way, I'm done. Granted, he's out for only 3 weeks and could still make the team, but barring a miracle, even if he does, he's gone once that deal expires. Or so we hope.

He only started because Frederick was hurt. People here hated Joe Looney and thought he was crap.

because hes not talented.

I never understood why Baalke had to trade up for this guy. He would have been available at our 2nd pick. I remember there was some talk before that the Seahawks would have nabbed him before us. I think it was just complete bs. I mean, maybe it could be true since the Seahawks also suck at drafting lately.

Well, he wasnt very good for us. Dallas are his 3rd team which gives some indication. And a 49ers fan might call him fine but as far as I can see the Cowboys fans consider him barely adequate.

every fan always gets excited about picks when the pick is in, so it doesnt really matter....If you don't believe me, you can check out the AJ Jenkins thread. There's a few laughs in there
