Justin Harrell - terrible pick! Should have traded back and used at least one of the extra picks to apply to my third complaint.2. B.J. Raji - I hold Thompson responsible for not vetting this guy more thoroughly. I believe in my heart there had to be red flags in his past at Boston College or in his interviews that would have revealed his lack of work ethic. I don't think you should gamble with the 9th pick.3. Legacy picks - You had perfect opportunities to bank legacy picks in at least 4 different drafts, 2013 being the most recent. Imo, you should have traded one of those picks back into the next draft for a one round earlier pick and eventually parlayed that into a 1st or 2nd round pick. You knew in your heart you were building a perennial playoff team and the only feasible way to get up to the top shelf of the draft was to trade with a loser franchise to get their high picks.So there. Three strikes and your out Ted. Your fired!</blockquote>
