[QUOTE="Pkrjones, post: 710438, member: 9982"] Pretty ballsy post, Pike! ;) - No arguments from anyone (on earth!) that the Harrell pick was a disaster. - Raji was far, far from a bad pick. For a couple of years the guy played 80%+ snaps/game and while not a perennial Pro Bowler did what was asked of him. He was a stout inside defender who routinely plugged the middle against double-teams. Those first 4 years just badly wore him down to the point of limiting him to 55-60% of snaps didn't help. - Legacy picks... TT had some banked and used them all up to move up and get CM3. Great use of "extra picks" (from Favre trade) to move up and get a play-maker. Problem is TT hasn't done it, since. 2006 TT traded back w/ New England & was able to get both G. Jennings and J. Spitz. 2008 TT traded back w/ Jets & was able to get Jordy Nelson & Jeremy Thompson (injury retirement :( ). 2012 TT traded UP w/ New England and got Casey Hayward & Jerrel Worthy. Most of TT's other draft moves have been sliding up or back within a round. He hasn't done much player trading for picks since 2008, as he felt the need to clean-house & boost the team-talent early on. I liked the early TT more than the current less-gambly TT. [/QUOTE]
