Imagine...

I know it's probably already been summarized, and no worth crying over spilled milk, but I was just thinking...

24th overall pick in 2013: Björn Werner

25th overall-Xavier Rhodes, 31st-Travis Frederick, 36th-Darius Slay

 

Traded 26th in 2014 for T-Rich:

29th-Dominique Easley, 27th-Deone Buchanan, 35th-Joel Bitonio, 31st-Bradley Roby

 

2015 1st (29th): Phillip Dorsett

Plausible picks: 33rd-Landon Collins(who I thought we were gonna draft when he fell that far), 39th-Eddie Goldman, 30th-Damorious Randall, 35th-Mario Edwards

 

 

Imagine a secondary with Collins, Hooker, Xavier Rhodes, and Darius Slay/Bradley Roby with Clayton Geathers and Deone Buchanan playing box safety/hybrid linebacker. All younger than 26.

yea i for sure thought we were going to draft Rhodes i was psyched he had dropped to us, when i heard Bjoern Werner i was like "who the heck is that" lol. Also the Dorsett over Landon Collins was a mind boggler and i cant decide if its more mind boggling than the Trich trade. Man im glad we got rid of Grigson lol.

1 × Time Machine, one careful owner

 

What about one VERY used Time Machine with one not-so-careful owner?

 

I mean, my grandson borrowed it a few times, but it runs great once you get the flux-capacitor going.

I'll throw in a few Cher cassette tapes, too.  You'll probably have to use the Time Machine to actually find a Cher vinyl...

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

they'd probably all be on the IR list and not playing knowing our luck

That secondary would be been impossible to assemble.

 

It was:

Rhodes or Slay

Roby or Buchanan

 

You couldn't have all of them. My personal picks were and still would be Rhodes (I lost my everlovering mind when he was there and we didn't pick him), Bitonio (wasn't even an option given the trade, but I really liked him as a prospect), and Eric Kendricks.

Imange the Colts draft Ryan Leaf and not Peyton Manning and repeat it by taking RG3 and not Luck...

 

no one likes to play those what if games...

 

we we all get it Grigson got one first round pick right while he was here and that was Luck.  That’s a large reason why he’s not here anymore.  Sorry I don’t think Irsay is going to hire him again so he can fire him again.

Cody Whitehair instead of trading down for TJ Green :(   That was a big disappointment for me during the draft.  Even bigger now.

 

I was thinking Hopkins at 24 instead of BW at the time.

 

That one is extremely upsetting. They reached hard on a guy who's just an athlete. Had a real chance to rebuild the line.

    • I think I was wrong in my guess here. On later inspection, it seems like the more likely situation is that the part about his diabetes is still in this article, but it's just hidden behind a paywall.. 
    • That could have happened. Could have been a HIPAA issue too.   But I think the fact that these other quotes existed (even if they were put in later) adds necessary context to this situation. It wasn't just AD being the victim of some smear campaign that somehow heavily influenced NFL teams...as seems to be the narrative. Instead, there were also concerns among different scouts (assuming it wasn't one scout) about other aspects, including his Combine workout.   So we know what some thought...and we know what happened. 10 teams drafted WRs before AD. Yes, 3 of those WRs were going earlier than him no matter what, but 7 other WR-needy teams opted for other WRs. And even Ballard actually traded down with him on the board. It seems fairly safe to assume that NFL teams didn't have him as a R1 WR, or top 5 at the position, for reasons beyond a couple comments from anonymous scouts. 
    • Cardinals need to sweep the Marlins in their 3 game series.  At minimum win 2/3.   It's a chance they cannot mess up.
    • Honestly, isn't that kind of a base level journalistic integrity and ethics? I don't think he's setting up some arbitrary litmus test. I'm no journalist and have no idea what the professional standard is, but this to me seems like a pretty reasonable standard - if you are writing about someone and a source is sharing pretty disparaging information that might affect the subject to the tune of millions of dollars, the least you should probably do is to ask for comment from said subject, before you print that information.
    • Kind of seems like you're setting up a litmus test for whether a reporter is "good" or not based on whether they do this thing you don't like. So maybe you could share some well-respected media in your opinion -- sports would be most relevant -- and then we could share some examples.    I agree that the best practice would be to reach out to the subject for a response. But if the subject declines or doesn't acknowledge the request, now what? Add a line saying 'subject declined to respond,' and now the unnamed sources are viewed with more legitimacy?
