..and I'm not even talking about voiding out the Roy Williams trade. I'm just using the actual selctions we made.

The 2009 Draft was a debacle. Homers will say it was a bad overall draft and that somehow excuses the awful picks Jerry made.

I realize you can do this in every draft and no one hits on 100% of their picks. I just wanted to point out some of the players we could have had and what a difference it would have made with the current team's depth.

3rd (69) Jason Williams LB (Cut) - Pick could have been Michael Johnson DE/OLB from Georgia Tech.
3rd (75) Robert Brewster OL (Cut twice and out of football) - Pick could have been Mike Wallace WR from Ole Miss. Ouch.
4th(101) Stephen McGee QB (don't really mind this pick) - Pick could have been TJ Lang T from Eastern Michigan.
4th(110) Victor Butler OLB - staying with this pick.
4th(120) Brandon Williams OLB (Cut)- Pick could have been Greg Toler CB from St. Paul's College.
5th(143) DeAngelo Smith CB (Cut) - Pick could have been James Casey TE from Rice.
5th(166) Mike Hamlin S (Cut) - Pick could have been Javon Ringer from Michigan State. Goodbye Marion Barber.
5th(172) David Buehler K - Pick could have been Morgan Trent CB from Michigan.
6th(197) Stephen Hodge S (Cut) - Pick could have been Myron Pryor NT from Kentucky.
6th(208) John Phillips TE (also okay with this pick) - Pick could have been Captain Munnerlyn CB/KR from South Carolina. (since already drafted James Casey earlier)
7th(227) Mike Mickens CB (Cut) - Pick could have been Jamarca Sanford S from Ole Miss.
7th(229) Manuel Johnson WR (Cut) - Pick could have been Julian Edelman WR from Kent State.
Also, Arian Foster went undrafted this year.

Could you imagine our depth???

I like Victor Butler, but I'd have a hard time passing on Louis Murphy, Austin Collie, and Johnny Knox.

You could do this for every season, for just about every team. There's always coulda-woulda-shoulda's for everyone

lol

Cmd34 mentioned that already.

Put your Jerry shield down.

Its not a jerry shield, but taking the advice given cuts down on the requirement for Zantac or Prilosec....just thinking about what might have been only eats holes in one's stomach, especially when you think back at drafts like 2009

I remember not wanting to trade for Roy and not wanting to trade out of the 2nd.

But yeah, let's not bring up old stuff that makes Jerry look even worse.
