This is worth re-watching...

Interestingly, the fan vote after the Hawks had selected Irvin, Wagner and Wilson in the first three rounds graded our draft as a "C". lol.

I called it that we are picking Russell Wilson months before the draft and won $100 bet at work. I am so proud of myself

That's about right for the average fan at the time. Flynn-sanity was in full force and many were perplexed that we didn't take Coples, Ingram, Upshaw etc.

Many were upset we didn't take Polk instead of Wilson.

I called him being picked by the hawks in the 2nd round..... I lost my bet.

Awesome, JS wanted him bad. Must have been torture for him to wait until 75.

Did anyone else notice that he is wearing blue and green wrist bands? The kid knew he was going to the Hawks!

Amazing how Gruden nailed Wilson's traits and just knew how they would translate over. Every time I listen to his description I'm like "Yeah...he does that...Yup, does that too" and pretty much check the blocks all the way across the board.

Wow, Peter Schrager must feel like a complete moron right now.

 

[captSE]

I remember someone here on .net calling for the Hawks to draft Wilson way before the draft. Wish I could remember who that was but I don't. Anyway, good call sir.

ps - Was surprised at all the Wilson video's on youtube - all positve. Wow.

Wow, Peter Schrager must feel like a complete moron right now.

Someone flood his inbox with this video.

He basically said our 1st round DE that has 7 sacks is crap, our starting MLB who is a possible DROY was crap, and that our starting QB who is turning heads with amazing play was a waste who should be on the bench.

 

[Throwdown]

Our top 3 picks were MONEY!

Bruce still needs some work, but we knew that. Wagner is awesome, and what can be said about Russ that hasn't aready been said? I'm sure when they their little "2012 Draft Redo" all three will be first rounders.

 

[Hamhawk]

I'm amazed at how Gruden absolutely knew that RW had the physical skills and mental makeup to do well in the NFL,....

 

[EastCoastHawksFan]

anybody got the link with Kiper and Gruden agruing about Wilson

Which gave birth to probably my favorite thread in the 12 years I've been coming here.
