62	Indianapolis	Tim Jennings	Cornerback	Georgia
63	Seattle	Darryl Tapp	Defensive end	Virginia Tech
64	Minnesota (from Pittsburgh)	Tarvaris Jackson	Quarterback	Alabama State

instead of sinorice moss we could of drafted devin hester, maurice jones-drew or greg jennings. i would of even been glad to tavaris jackson taken instead as he would be a great backup qb for us.

2007 nfl stats

greg jennings- 53 receptions, 920 yards, 12 td's    27 career reg games played

mjd-167 carries, 768 yards, 9 rushing td's             31 career reg games played

         46 receptions,436 yards, 2 touchdowns

and finally

sinorice moss 21 receptions, 225 yards, 0 td's        19 career regular games

wish we knew then what we know now.

feel free to talk about other players or other drafts in this thread as well

Scheffler isn't that bad either.

came to my mind  for some reason, can you imagine how genius the 49 ers would of looked if they took frank gore at number 1 instead of alex smith, i bet 25 out of 32 teams wish they could redo the 2005 draft, damn near the whole top ten picks were busts, poor vikings

depends on your definition of bust perhaps, but I only see 2 guys who have been a bust in the top 10 of 05, Benson and Williamson.  Williamson is only 25 though, so he has time to get it together. 

Benson, I dont think, will be allowed to play

Alford, Osi, Kiwi, and Tuck

You guys are talking about the 2005 draft. Have I been missing something?

Marcus Mcneill would look awesome as our LT.  Oh well, you win some and you lose some.

alex smith, pacman jones,mike williams. i've heard people call cadillac and brown bust because of injuries( i don't agree but it's out there)

alex smith?  The same guy who put up 2,900 yards and 16 TDs in 06?   Perhaps hes not as great as a first overall pick should be, but hes not a bust. 

Mike Williams I forgot. Most injury prone WR in NFL history, i think. lol

EA passed on devin hester wow and for sinorice moss! Hopefully teams not picking manningham can work out for us like it didn't work out for us here

Don't give up yet on Sinorice.  I think he's ready for a break out year.

Sinorice won't get many reps and in 3 years he hasn't done much so sadly if anybody wants him than we should take it.

and in 2006 every team in the league passed on Colston 6+ times.

Thats how the draft works.

No doubt Devin Hester and Maurine-Jones Drew turned out to be the top of that list.

But yea, drafts just turn out that way. You can't predict how well and motivated a college player will train and prepare himself for the NFL and what the outcome will be.

Scouts take care of the talent, no one takes care of determination.
