honestly, wtf were they thinking back then. nfl has a bunch of shows showing the past drafts and some of the back ground issues. one of the years covered was 1995. the guy had okay hands but like most big guys had a really hard time staying erect after catching the ball. the most amusing one was where mel kiper completely tees off on the colt organization for not picking trent dilfer. in hindsight, wtf did dilfer do besides join a great team and win a superbowl. the colts mistake was drafting trev alberts.

It wasn't that they picked Brady, it's that they didn't pick Sapp. And already had used a pick before on a TE. Then again a lot of people passed on him.
The usual bullshit at work again, Brady had a long 13 year career, wasn't as horrible a pick the anti Jets press would have you believe.

Hard time. Erect. Ball. Pretty sure this is supposed to merge with another thread. |

The usual bullshit at work again, Sparklepony had a long 13 year career, wasn't as horrible a pick the anti Jets press would have you believe. Regardless of how long he lasted in the league picking a blocking TE in the top 10 is just about the stupidest shit you could do. |

Regardless of how long he lasted in the league picking a blocking TE in the top 10 is just about the stupidest shit you could do. He wasn't drafted to be a blocking TE. Wasn't thought of that way. Was a combination of having drafted Johnny Mitchell a couple of seasons earlier and letting Sapp go by. How he ultimately played isn't the point, teams miss on draft picks all the time, doesn't make the idea horrible. I never said he was a productive player but a 13 year career means he wasn't the all time bust some make him out to be. |
