Let's look back at the 2013 drafr

They ran to the podium to turn in his name ...like they were drafting the next LT....from what I remember that pick was pretty much hated by the vast majority here

yeah, completely insane decision

It is hard to say how any player would do had they been drafted by a different team. That's the problem I have with looking at a draft and saying a player won't be good here because he wasn't good elsewhere. Hell, David Carr may have been just as good or better than his younger brother but got stuck on a really bad Houston team for years. You just never know, but to not recognize that the team or system that you get drafted into has no say in a players performance is also short sighted.

Yea, but usually if it's the team's fault, the player moves on to some other team and does well. One could argue that a player - especially a QB - has their confidence shot from being on a terrible team, but I don't necessarily buy that one. It's more likely that Derrick Carr is just better than his brother. If David was decent, he would still be in the NFL.

I wanted Xavier Rhodes, how's he doing? Lost track of the guy

He is solid all around.

I don't think Rhodes is a shutdown corner. I've heard him considered a weak link in a Vikings D with a great front 7.

No, he is not a weak link; he is a solid all around CB, who makes tackles, has some picks and forced fumbles.

either way, better than JJ

Jordan has been a huge bust. Bigger then Jarvis

Unpossible. You shall not disrespect Jarvis w/ such talk!!!

At the time, I wanted to draft Cordarelle Patterson.

I'm glad we didn't take him...

Average DB - I'd say give Burns another year and we'll have at the very least a similar product...

He's not a bad player, but I wanna say that it took him until last year to finally start to become the player he was supposed to be. However, that amount of progress is leaps and bounds better than one, Jarvis Jones.
