Lord_MacDonald Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Oh my. That's painful. He could not have made a worse cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 No I mean where they traded him for a first to the colts after realizing he was terrible. If you recall reaction to that trade was that the Colts had fleeced the Browns. and then turned around and gave that pick to Philly in order to trade up for Johnny Eightball.

vincec Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Oh my. That's painful. He could not have made a worse cut. It's like he's looking for the place where there are the most defenders to plow into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 There was a similar play when he was with the Raiders. They were pretty much all like that. Easily the worst vision of any NFL RB I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section122 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It was a decent recovery, but they didn't get back the #3 overall that they used on him. The Colts pick was #26 right? So that's a pretty big fail actually. Of course. The decision to trade up one spot and give up a 4th, 5th, and 6th to do so was bad. Picking him period was bad. What they did with the return from trading him was bad. The decision to trade him was a good one though. They cut bait and didn't let him sit around and lose value. I remember the reaction was "What are the Colts doing" and the other reaction was "The Browns will waste the pick anyway" Yeah I may have been in the camp that it was a great trade for the Colts for a couple of weeks anyway. I thought he would bring balance to the team and offer a running threat. That is what happens when you look at surface numbers and don't dig deeper.

What a Tuel Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Of course. The decision to trade up one spot and give up a 4th, 5th, and 6th to do so was bad. Picking him period was bad.

That is what happens when you look at surface numbers and don't dig deeper. The colts got fleeced cause they gave up a 1st round pick. The guy had one 950 yard season for 3.6 yards per carry. I don't know what got into them, I guess I can kind of see your point that a decent running attack would've helped Luck, but a 1st round pick? Ouch.

Captain Hindsight Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I remember the reaction was "What are the Colts doing" and the other reaction was "The Browns will waste the pick anyway" Some RB got hurt just before they made the trade for him...

Beef Jerky Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Some RB got hurt just before they made the trade for him... Any one remember who that was? They lost a few RBs that year but still didn't justify the first round for a guy who was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put me in the camp that Grigson is one of the worst GMs in football. His decisions draft time are usually head scratchers and his personnel moves leave much to be desired. He lucked into Luck and that is about it. Here is a run down of poor moves (and I'm sure I'm missing some) Traded Jerry Hughes for Kelvin Shepard Traded a first for Trent Richardson Drafted Phillip Dorsett with a first Drafted Bjoern Werner in the first His FA signings leave a lot to be desired as well. Todd Herremans, Laron Landry, an over the hill Andre Johnson among others. Some RB got hurt just before they made the trade for him... Any one remember who that was? Vick Ballard.

YoloinOhio Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Grigson has to have some kind of dirt on Irsay. It's the only explanation that he's not only still their GM, but just got an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
