You and me both. When the draft got into the 20's in the first round, all i was watching for was if jackson would be grabbed or not. Every pick i was worried. Then he dropped to us and i was so happy....but nooooooooooooooooo....had to draft a guy that made everybody in Ram nation go "wtf" "who" "wtf"????????? Was so pissed off. Could of had Jordy Nelson also or Eddie Royal.

At least we werent the only team to screw up. Skins took Devin Thomas who was a major bust, worse than Avery. James Hardy and Jerome Simpson were drafted before Jackson as well.

Still dosm't justify us taking Donnie freakin Avery over him. Stupid pick plain and simple.

Sounds like a STD. Damn it man, I just found out that I drafted the Zygmundt from that girl at the bar.

Yea but I'm not angry anymore. Can't go back and fix it. Just have to move forward. Plus, drafting Austin and Bailey helped. I was very high on both.
 
Re: Avery over Jackson.

The thought at the time was that Jackson was a diva and would become a distraction. I'm not sure that's ever been proven otherwise.

The competition would have been closer had Avery been able to stay on the field... though by that logic, we should have kept Alexander.
 
In fairness to all those guys they were all rated as very draft able,some were reaches tis true, but they played for two of the worst head coaches this team has ever had.

Yeah ,Shaw gets his share of the credit,he hired the coaches,Zygmunt and company drafted the players and the coaches failed to develop them,just a pathetic dark time.

Are we sure Georgia Frontiere wasn't really Sauron?

And yet they all did zero after going to other teams too. Just horrible, horrible picks.
 
I remember being upset with the Kennison pick over Harrison.

1996.

Without making any trades, rather than Lawrence Phillips and Eddie Kennison, we could have had Eddie George and Marvin Harrison.

Any other drafts you can think of where we missed THAT badly? 2009 was bad... but who else was there to draft instead?

Ahhh, Lawrence Phillips. The hopes were so high and so dashed.....:(

Did we even get a year out of Leonard?

Barely. But at least we were able to use him for trade bait in the blockbuster trade for defensive juggernaut O. Harris.
 
The 2000 Draft was pretty horrible as well. The longest one of them stayed a Ram was 4 years, the rest were less, and didn't get much from any of them really.

Untill I looked into it I had forgotten most of that draft except for the Canidate pick. Really bad draft.
