For me the clear answer is Jamal Adams. At least you can argue Harvin & Graham came at premium positions for two teams that were debatably one offensive piece from getting over the hump. The Harvin trade was bad because we just completely ignored the guys checkered history with the Vikings, but he was a tremendous fit for what our offense needed (speed) and he impacted our SB run. Jimmy Graham was bad because we’re a heavy 12 personnel team that relies on our TEs to open up the running game, and Graham is maybe the worst blocker at his position when it comes to that. Rather than maximize our new asset as a big slot receiver, we pushed the square peg in the round hole. That said, Graham was actually perfectly productive in the RZ with us prior to tearing his patellar tendon and truly never being the same player. Due to the injury, it’s hard to assign too much blame.

The Jamal Adams trade is horrible in every sense of the word. We gave up PREMIUM draft capital + huge contract for a non-premium position. The trade was an L even when Adams was an All-Pro SS. It’s a historically bad trade if he continues playing the way he has. The team doesn’t know how to use him and he looks like he’s running around blind at this point. We’d be better off moving him to OLB and letting him roam around the LOS more, but that’s accepting the sunk cost of your trade. It’s truly crippling and we are feeling the full impact of it now with Wilson going down. My hope is it’s exactly what this team and fanbase needed to see to realize John Schneider is a bad GM who’s been primarily living off of 1 exceptional 3rd round pick out of Wisconsin. He hasn’t hit on a 1st round pick in 10 years, and when he’s not wasting them, he’s trading them for over the hill talents that we don’t know how to use. He has gutted this roster.
