In college Harrell had surgery on his leg, broke his ankle, re-injured the ankle on his first snap back, another ankle injury, and a biceps injury all causing him to miss about 30% of his college games. Harrell deserves blame for is arriving at TC overweight and out of shape, but his career being ruined by injury was predictable.What made the pick even worse was after the draft Thompson said they got offers to trade out of that spot and Jacksonville did trade out one pick after the Packers so we have an idea of what Thompson was offered. Jacksonville received Denver's first (#21), third (#86), and sixth round (#198) for pick #17. If they offered the Packers the same deal, Thompson would have only had to drop 5 spots in the first round to pick up an extra third and sixth round pick. That kind of trade fit Thompson’s MO, particularly in 2007. He could have still make the mistake on Harrell at #21 but would’ve gotten more out of it. Or maybe they’d have gotten lucky and another team would’ve reached for Harrell before Thompson had a chance to.</blockquote>
