I definitely think it i wishful thinking. At least the part about trading Forte. He is going to be 32 at the end of the season, plus he is due $4MM base salary this season. Can't see anyone giving up a pick for him. On the other hand, I really hope Macc drafts an RB this year. Whether it is a first round guy like Cook or FOurnette (which I think is unlikely) or a mid-round guy like Foreman, Gallman or Hunt. RB is a young man's position and we need to start drafting some young men at the position. The last RB we drafted regardless of round was Gannaway five years ago. Only the Jets. As long as you don't count Tommy Bohanon. About 100 RBs drafted in the last 5 years and all we have taken is Ganaway and Bohannon. And that is the combined efforts of 3 GMs.

That's so fucking pathetic. Also Santana Moss being the last WR we drafted in the 1st round is ridiculous. Like wtf it's been almost 20 years. I don't understand how that's possible. I thought it was Powell so I decided to look it up. After seeing our 2014 draft I'm balling in tears right now. That might be one of the worst all time drafts for any team and the class is only three years in. 12 picks in one of the deepest drafts I've ever seen. You honestly had to try not to draft a good player in 2014. It kind of reminds me of this draft which is why we need more picks.

A thumper like Foreman and a scatback like donnel pumphery would do.

Willis and Watkins were both on my short list. Made it much easier. My next two likely picks are a bit reachy, but I don't really care. Seahawks don't have any more picks until the 6th, so I'm probably just going to take the guys I like. Screw value! Really wondering if I would have taken Hodges in the 2nd if Kpassagnon would have lasted to this pick. I would have risked Siragusa making it to my first comp pick

The reason you won was Vincent Valentine. You picked him in the 7th and he actually went in the 3rd to the Pats. 150 picks ahead of where you picked him. Personally, I would rather lose than benefit from the Patriots.

Maybe we should make the loser be a moderator next year. Does the winner still get a mythical hat?

Personally, I would rather lose than benefit from the Patriots. Sour grapes. And two out of three years I've drafted the defensive rookie of the year. Reddick is about to win it for me again.
