[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 141047, member: 598"] Sanders was drafted 3rd in the 89 draft -- Dallas and the Packers were the only ones to let him by. 1989 draft order Troy Aikman Tony Mandarich Barry Sanders Derrick Thomas Deion Sanders Other Picks we took in that draft were Matt Brock DE (3rd) Jeff Graham QB (4th) Jeff Query WR (5th) Chris Jacke K (6th) Mark Hall DE (7th) Thomas King DB (8th) Brian Shulman P (8th) Scott Kirby T (9th) Ben Jessie DB (10th) Cedric Stallworth DB (11th) Stan Shiver DB (12th) Can anyone even remember more than 4 or 5 of those players? If we needed DBs so badly as to use 4 of our 10 picks on them, how many other areas could we have addressed had we only taken the OTHER Sanders (Deion) in the 1st round. Of course, we then could have had a mostly FSU defensive backfield when we drafted Butler in 90 and Buckley in 92. Or -- would we have drafted them then? Looking back, there are not a lot of memorable names immediately following them in those drafts but hindsight is 20-20. A GM's job is not unlike your personnel manager at your job. They compare the needs to the available bodies to plug into the job. Sometimes they miss and hire a real dud and can hopefully get rid of him before too much damage is done. Other times, they find that diamond in the rough that can really shine. But, very few times is it a lock when they make the decision. [/QUOTE]
