I was pissed when we took J. Smith over Mark Sanchez. I thought Sanchez was going to be a very good qb.
So, yeah. Mark Sanchez.

I thought Brian Leonard would be a cross between a fullback and Amp Lee, getting in on 3rd downs getting tough yards, pass blocking. He ran a 4.49 as a fullback, benched 225 28 times. Then shoulder surgery and a regime change then see ya Brian.
Even before the regime change, Linehan kept trying to change what he was rather than use the player he got. Carriker suffered from this as well.

How about Donnie freakin Avery? We could of had Desean Jackson. Hopes were real high for Donnie.
We could have had Desean Jackson. But I don't think he would have done much better than Avery (who was really killed by injuries) with his attitude.

Now that we're better than we were, sure. But then, no. You don't need a diva in the locker room when you're rebuilding from scratch.

Not a Rams player but Mark Ingram.

I still look at his tape and wonder what the heck happened. He was a beast.
 
Jones? That's probably a little premature. He's still developing, don't you think?
Er, yeah... I missed the last part of the OP. I'm still convinced Jones is going to be a beast.
 
Oh, Limas Sweed and Devin Thomas. Thought those dudes would be the tits.
 
Wake Forest LB Aaron Curry & Florida State DE Andre Wadsworth seem to fit the bill.

Can't say I thought they would be huge stars, but as far as actual Rams, no one in the world was going to be able to convince me that 2001 draftees LB Brian Allen and WR Milton Wynn weren't the steals of the 2001 draft.

Givens. after the way he started I thought we had our #1. Now I think every coach in the NFL has his number!

Aaron Curry, I remember really really wanting Aaron Curry. Turns out we lost out on that draft either way...

I thought that Klopfenstein would be our own Jason Witten, to be honest. Turns out that he couldn't hack it in the NFL.
