The 12 WRs taken before Hilton


CR91

Recommended Posts

Being 5-9, and from FIU had a lot to do with that lol.

 

What is funnier IMO is that we took two TEs before taking TY.

 

2012 had a lot of WRs flame due to behavioral issues. A bunch went in the first round. The two best WRs taken were in the second (Jeffery) and third (TY).

What struck me looking back at that draft was that Bobby Wagner and Lavonte David went after Fleener.  

 

You can do this with every draft. What annoys me is getting Fleener over Schwartz or Cordy Glenn. I wanted Glenn at the time of the pick.

that is a weird group.  blackmon could have been great, jefferies has had a very good career but not all with the bears 

 

i thought floyd would be good, and he was for a year or so and then apparently he too had a substance problem

I thought we reached on Fleener at the time (at least talent wise)... but I liked the pick as he was a Stanford kid and gave Luck someone to be comfortable with right away after coming to fill Peyton's shoes.

It was a good trade for Indy and glad they did it!  Geez, looking at that draft, only Luck and Hilton shined.  I know Dwayne and Coby had some moments but definitely not what we all hoped.

 

 

 

Yes, it's kind of nuts how much of this roster Ballard has had to overhaul in such a short time.. Grigs really left him without much talent.

    • Not really.   There's a theory that Ballard wants to draft an OL high because he said it's important to protect the QB, and Richardson was hurt last year. And the counter was that Richardson's injury/s probably aren't about the level of OL protection, and drafting an OL high wouldn't address that concern.
    • I'm thinking if we can trade to 8 or 9 and draft Odunze , we should do it if the price is reasonable. The value chart shows giving up P 15 and P 46 is the perfect number. Probably won't do it and I would think 2025 2nd for a 2024 4th added to the deal would make it work . That of coarse would depend on Atlanta or Chicago wanting to move to 15 . Obviously , as we all know , it takes 2 to make a trade.
    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
