Just for fun, who do you wish we would have drafted

[b bulldog]

Instead of Harrell, I think now I definitely would have looked at lone of the following, Aaron Ross, Michael Griffin or Leon Hall. I didn't like Hall but he has played better than I thought while all three would have gave us some talent behind the starters and would have given us something to work with in regards to the future. It's a bye week, I'm grasping for something m

even though there was no way we could have got him, Peterson is definitely the best player to come out of the draft, I wish we could have got Olsen or Marshawn Lynch. Or how about Randy Moss that would have been nice, but whatever. Can`t do anything about it now, shoulda coulda woulda. oh well

What, you think Aaron Ross or Leon Hall would have been a better nickel DB than Jarrett Bush? How about Reggie Nelson? He could have possibly pushed Nick Collins, and provided some depth and playmaking.

If they had gone offense, Dwayne Bowe or Olsen would have been nice, but I'm happy with Jones instead of Bowe, at least so far.

Well, I don't think it's fair to speculate after the fact, so I still wish, as I did draft day, that they'd have traded down and took a WR in the 1st.

Jones has been a great surprise, but a game changing receiver would be nice.

I guess we could've traded way down and taken Olsen, too, that wouldn't have been a bad move, we have a need at TE.

I wasn't a big AP fan, still think the guy will turn out to be injury prone, but holy crap, what a first 7 weeks for that guy... Because I didn't like him, he'll probably be the next coming of Barry Sanders...<sigh>

we didnt have to trade down to get Olsen, we passed on him

[Lurker64]

I'm not really sold on any of the guys taken 17-32, so honestly I have no idea. From production so far, Bowe would seem to be a decent pick but it remains to be seen if his production is mostly because he's the only threat the Chiefs have. I was personally hoping Revis would drop to 16 and I would have snapped him up in a second, but the Jets traded up to get him. If they hadn't, he might have been there at 16.

[Bretsky]

To me the two guys on offense that have really looked good and would help us would be Greg Olsen and Dwayne Bowe. The more I watch Olsen the more I detest him, because he's good and a Bear. I could see him being a Wesley Walls like player for many years.

[GBRulz]

I would have to say Greg Olsen. However, I'm happy with the way our TE's have played this year so who knows where he would have been on our depth chart and how much playing time he would have.

[Scott Campbell]

Barry Sanders.

[b bulldog]

Or Deion Sanders

[Carolina_Packer]

Colonel Sanders and Hand Sanders

At the time he wasn't worth the value of the 16th pick. I still think we needed to trade down to get him at a better value, but I get your point.

Truth be told, I'd have been more pissed to take Olsen at 16, rather than I was taking Harrell. With Harrell, I was just disappointed that there wouldn't be any contribution in 2007. I still don't think that there will be, but we'll see towards the end of the year.

The biggest mistake Ted made was not trading with Cleveland for #36 and next year's first. He must have really locked in on Harrell and not realized how much fun he could have in 2008 with 2 first rounders.

It stings even more that frickin' Dallas will have that luxury. And they managed to move back into the first, although it cost them that second plus there own 3rd and 5th.

Bowe, Olsen, Sid Rice, Weddle could all have been targeted.

[Joemailman]

I wanted Bowe at the time, and he's looking pretty good. Right now, I'm concwrned about our lack of depth at CB, so any of the top CB's would look good right now.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Right now, Cleveland would draft around #15 or #16 next year. Somebody has gone over this. According to the board, the offer was a bad trade offer. It looks even worse right now. The offer Dallas got was a good one. This is the NFL. Standings are fluid from one year to another, so you can't assume that a team that drafted in the top 10 one year will do so the next year.
