Stupidest 1st Round Draft Decisions

[NateTheGood]

1. Jaguars picking Blake Bortles at #3
-Khalil Mack is handed to you on a silver platter
-Superior QB's available in Bridgewater and Manziel
-Could have traded down for more picks and still got Bortles

2. Bills trading picks with Browns for Sammy Watkins
-Traded way too much to move up
-Needed an OT or TE much more than a wide receiver
-Browns trolled them later by trading with Vikings

3. Cowboys not drafting Johnny Manziel
-Tony Choko will only be around 2-3 years with his back problems
-Perfect style and scenario to transition as a top QB
-Missed out on trading up for Lewan and got a 2nd rate OT anyway

4. Jets, Eagles, Chiefs, Panthers, 49ers ignoring Marquise Lee
-Easily 2nd best WR in the draft behind Watkins
-Brushed over by teams who could desperately use him
-Teams acquired b-level 2nd/3rd rounders instead (Ford, Smith, Ward, LOL)

5. Texans keeping #1 spot and missing a QB
-Many holes to be filled on team beyond DE
-Clowney doesn't fit into current defense
-Phucked themselves out of a decent QB after trading Schaub

Thoughts and feedback welcome. Post your own stupidest decisions of the night as well *******s.

Might be a bit biased but I think Bortles was a good pick.

I feel that he will be great. Book it.

Vikings potato draft. Unless they plan on changing their D for Barr and then they take Bridgewater, who is gonna bust just as hard as Ponder.

[GooBaaa]

If the bills make the playoffs this year it wouldn't have been been a dumb choice

[iMakeItRain100s]

It's cool OP, 49ers got two 2's, three 3's and a **** ton of late round picks. More than enough fire power to move up and grab MarGOAT Lee

Cowboys not drafting a defensive player was the potato move of the draft. How can the team with the 32nd rank defense draft offense?


Panthers not drafting Lee was smart, Cam needs a tall receiver to throw to.

Bortles is the definition of average. His ceiling is not very high. Best case scenario he is a good game manager.

Maybe. But it begs the question as to why they didn't take him in the 1st round instead took a safety which didn't seem like an obvious void. Unless they know something the rest of us don't.

So to sum it up, 9 teams dunn goof'd themselves this year.

So I guess that only gives me the liberty to talk about the Toronto Bills?

Cowboys not drafting a defensive player was the potato move of the draft. How can the team with the 32nd rank defense draft offense?

Panthers not drafting Lee was smart, Cam needs a tall receiver to throw to.

Cowboys were foolishly hoping Barr would still be on the table at #16. When that didn't pan out they just let the neckbeard fantasy drafts pick for them.

So to sum it up, 9 teams dunn goof'd themselves this year.

Not necessarily. The only real game-changing phuck ups I see came from the Jaguars (who could have traded down to fill gaping holes and still walked away with Bortles) and the Texans (who will continue the endless cycle of drafting Carr QB's, making the Oilers look like a dynasty, and blowing the #1 overall pick). Everyone else will have done no real long-term harm or good with their picks

Cowboys gon Cowboys.

Chicago Bears drafted Alshon Jeffery with the 45th pick (2nd round) of the 2012 NFL Draft.

The Redskins made the playoffs after the RG3 trade. Fast forward to today.. smart choice?

[srom12]

JFF was just waiting to replace tony romeo at #16, potatos gonna potate

[Fahnestock]

JaWuan James. No idea where the hype comes from. Lazy, no suddenness in his game, easily abused by speed rushers, poor pad level. Is decent laterally and a good mauler provided he doesn't overextend himself like he's prone to do. His skillset is more suited to guard but he's probably too tall unless he can get more consistent pad level.

Browns - draft johnny maziel


Reasoning = nothing the browns do works out good

[wishyouwerebeer]

Umm the Browns got the best draft class today. Or do you not watch the NFL?

Browns got a 1st round pick 2015 from the Bills (bills overreached and got Sammy Watkins)
Browns got the best CB in draft in the first round (kinda overreach but now he's a dual threat next to Joe Haden now),
then stole Manziel @ 22nd pick, possibly a franchise qb.

How is that stupid? :rofl:

what can you do, huh? take a look at their warroom :rofl:

[TheIronAsylum]

wasnt too happy with the Cards

[srom12]

stupidest

[Saucen]

Clowney was a great pick. Texans gonna score 12 ppg but only allow 10.

[BatmanBeGains]

I don't dislike the Jacksonville pick. I do think Khalil Mack was the better choice for them but Bortles is a home grown talent, a good quarterback prospect that is going to a team with a good offensive line and defence and it was a position of need.

Hated Cleveland's entire draft. Picking up the Bills 1st rounder next year was good but they'll just waste the pick next year. Justin Gilbert is a good corner and will be good but this draft is deep at corner and corner wasn't a big need for Cleveland. Johnny Football was a terrible pick, Cleveland will never learn that picking a quarterback with your late first rounder just because you:

A: Have a late first rounder
B: Didn't like any quarterback enough to draft them with your first first rounder.

Is absolutely stupid.

Carolina got gifted Marqise Lee and didn't draft him. They need a receiver who can contribute NOW, not in 2-3 years. Lee has as much upside as Benjamin does but also has a much higher floor. Benjamin will be a bust and Lee strikes me as very similar to Marvin Harrison. Guarantee Lee has a long, good career and is a tough, polished receiver.

Odell Beckham was over drafted and won't even be the best wide receiver from LSU this draft.

Buffalo got a great player in Watkins but receiver wasn't a big need and they basically gave away their future for a wide receiver and they still aren't close to winning the East.

Miami jumped at a 'left tackle' when there were better more capable line-men available. They picked a guy because he was labelled a left tackle but he is basically at best a left guard... And there were better guards available. Or they could have picked Marcus Martin and kicked Puncey out to guard.

Keith McGill, Cody Lattimer, Derek Carr, Su'a Filo & Marqise Lee should all have gone in the first. Guarantee they'll all be good players, I like them better than the other players picked at their position. How does Kyle Fuller go #14 and Keith McGill not go in the first? Bizarre.

I really respect you as a human being but bro this is the most delusional thing I've ever heard someone say

[PervedOut]

Lions taking a TE? After signing Pettigrew to a big extension and Joseph Fauria having a breakout season, they take another? Wot?

[dirtdickens]

Martin is a second rate OT? LULZ, Canada. Dude played against everyone in his four years and gave up like 3 sacks in his career.

Cardinals, Buffalo, and Lions had the biggest screw ups.

[leafs43]

Still have to go with the Bortles pick.

Jags could have easily taken the Bills deal and still got Bortles.

[ItsWhatIDo]

Worst decision was watching the draft aka Gruden slobber over Manziel fest.


Nice just signed McCown but they need butts in those seats, get your quarterback! All these teams must know something, I don't. Draft Johnny football here blahb blah blah

[kids.got.soul]

Don't really agree with Jets needing a WR over a CB or safety. They desperately needed help in the secondary. They'll still get good value in the second for a WR.

[KBaller33]

Bortles easily
