SteelKing728 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think if we picked Antoine Winfield Jr in 2020 over Jeff Gladney, traded up in 2021 to get an impact defensive player (and maybe still keep one of the 3rds to draft Patrick Jones) and drafted Jordan Davis this year over Lewis Cine, we would be in such a better position right now. Oh well. What can you do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well. What can you do... In my opinion, looking back at past drafts is neither productive or healthy! For the sake of your own mental health...look forward!!!!!!!😉 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Agreed. You can't worry about what has happened. All you can do is move forward...especially when you have zero control over the situation. Control what you can control and let the other stuff go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we only hadn't have traded for Herschel Walker, we could have used our 1st rd pick in 1990 to trade up for Emmitt Smith too. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year, the draft gives us shiny, new infatuations . . . Every year, the heart, desire and football intelligence of one guy way outperforms someone else's "can't miss pick." Whats really important is how a draft pick contributes to the team in years 2, 3 and 4. Jordan Davis is a force who should only get better and more dominant, but then all us Vikes fans thought the same of some guy named Kalil. Look ahead to what we can do . . . Only look back to remember lessons learned. For instance, NDSU's Waage could be a phenomenal 3rd rd pick . . . And his ccaeer path could follow Jared Allen's.

That’s my point. Davis hasn’t exactly been this force or this dominant player for Philly. Yet, so many make comments like he’s some transformative player. As @JDBrocks mentioned, Tonga out performed Davis on the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, I said Davis should get better but there's the cautionary comparison of Kalil. You're acting like I'm putting Davis on part with the now-proven-overrated Clowney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
