I'm not a draft expert so I don't really have any input, but did you hear there is a good chance Reuben Foster is out for the year? :shock:
No kidding? Wow.
Which only further proves, my gratitude for my day job.
FWIW this isn't true. Kyle Shanahan said that
the worst case scenario was his surgery wouldn't take and he would need another one (to make the point that even if that happened he still loved the value at the bottom of the first) and the media took that and ran with it saying that Foster was going to miss the year. Lynch came back the next day and said Shanahan was being misquoted, and that Foster's recovery was so far on schedule according to their people at Stanford Medical Center.
So, of course it's still possible but "good chance" he's going to miss the year was bad reporting. He definitely does have shoulder issues though, which is why he dropped.
As for the Hawks, not just draft picks, but times I've definitely been wrong:
*With the rest of the known world it seems I was very wrong on Aaron Curry.
*I thought Cary Williams would fit in the Hawks' scheme despite his problems with the deep ball in Philly (I just thought the Hawks overpaid for him even though he'd be good, which I got a ton of grief for here. :lol: ).
* I thought the Harvin trade was a great move for the Hawks. :lol:
* I thought the Jimmy Graham trade was a really bad move for the Hawks (I now think it's kind of a wash).
* I was WAY too late on the KJ Wright bandwagon (IIRC at the time I thought they overpaid on his second contract a bit, rather than really underpaying on it).
* I thought the Hawks were wasting Bruce Irvin's pass rush ability because I thought he had more than he did and didn't totally understand his importance in the Hawks' scheme at the time.
* I thought Kenny Lawler was a great and sneaky late round pick for the Hawks last year (still on the practice squad, but still)
