Stan Thomas was a bust. He was taken at #22 as opposed to White at #7 so it may not be as bad, but still not good.

Alonzo Spellman was also taken at #22.

Grossman was good for 6 games.


But he and Haynes combined were the result of trading the #4 pick

Here is who they could have taken at 4

Terrell Suggs
Kevin Williams
Jordan Gross
Troy Poloamalu
Terrence Newman
Marcus Trufant
Nnamdi Asomugha




13 1st rounders made at least 1 Pro Bowl. Bears had 2 picks and got none.

I tried to forget that Michael Haynes ever existed.

It's like trying to block out the litany of terrible Bears QB's...Peter Tom Willis, Henry Burris, Kordell Stewart, Cade McNown, Craig Krenzel, Jonathan Quinn Medicine Woman, Will Furrer, Moses Moreno, et al...

True, but at the time I advocated for taking Suggs no matter what. All time NCAA sack leader. He had a bad combine so some were scared off. Ridiculous.

And he was one of the best #2 corners in the NFL last year. Incredible.

That was a tough call. Ultimately, I had to leave him off in favor of Michael Haynes.

Al Harris was fine for a 2nd rounder.

Always a soft spot in my heart for Juaquin Iglesias

Al Harris was the #9 overall pick in the 1979 draft (Hampton was #4). I wouldn't have included him, but I was desperate to find a third linebacker behind McClellin and Bostic.

_________________

yeah, not good for #9. I was thinking he was their 2nd rounder, not second 1st rounder. I'm thinking Theirry was still worse.

Haynes wins out because he clearly hated football. Way more into lizards.

Don' know whachu do, but i make money here.

Doot. Doot. Doot.




Oh wait....

Packers are going thru that now. Not a single player from their 2015 draft is on the roster.

Couldn't happen to a better team
