[QUOTE="TJV, post: 540215, member: 4300"] And do you know who else was wrong about Sherman? Every team in the league. Sherman was selected with the 154th pick in that draft. If any team had any idea he would turn out to be the best, or one of the best CBs in the league where would he have been drafted? So even Seattle didn’t fully recognize his talent. In fact they had four picks before taking Sherman. With their pick #107 they took WR Durham who they IR’d that season and waived before the 2012 season. He was claimed by the Lions and has caught 46 passes and scored 3 TDs for them[I]. How could the Seahawks have missed so badly on Durham when Sherman was available? 47 picks would occur before they had a chance to get Sherman! [/I]Because every team in the league failed to recognize Sherman’s talent. Cardinals, Giants, Ravens, Patriots, Bills (2), Chargers (2), Texans (2), 49ers, Raiders (2), Saints, Eagles, Steelers (2), Panthers, Chiefs, Packers, Browns, Vikings, Cowboys, Jaguars. That’s a list of the teams who picked 24 players listed as CBs before Sherman was picked. Some teams with very well regarded front offices regarding personnel acquisition picked CBs ahead of Sherman, including the Ravens, 49ers and the Steelers who, like four other teams, picked two CBs before pick #154. BTW, the Cardinals picked pro bowl CB Patrick Peterson with pick #5 in the draft. If you were a Cardinals fan, would you criticize their front office for not trading down out of the #5 pick because Sherman would be available much, much later in the draft? That's the equivalent of the criticism you're aiming at Thompson. Your remark doesn’t even attempt to tell the whole story, obviously because the whole story is not nearly the indictment of Thompson you intended. [/QUOTE]
