Thanks for posting these. I became fan in 2017 so I'll definitely check these.

 

Sammy Watkins one should also be interesting.

I didn't see that one, but here's another:

the Maybin one is classic.  we were all so wrong, even those that compared him to E. Flowers.  He ended up worse! 

oh this is awful and hillarious to go through at the same time.  Thanks to the OP for doing this.  Now @YoloinOhio has no excuse to refrain from drinking today.  I won't either.

I don't want to go through all of those, but I'm pretty sure EJ was the only pick I was happy about

Knew it was coming, really wanted Mack.  Still wish we had

I remember this draft just sucking.  I didn't love anyone in that draft and I think my first choice was to trade out of the 1st round.  I finally let the masses convince me he'd be fine

Here's a few I looked up, enjoy:

 

 

 

Where's the Josh Allen thread?   I lost my ***** when we picked him.  I'm so incredibly happy to be wrong and hope he keeps making me eat crow. 

 

I can't imagine any other QB here from that class now

Every single one of my OSU friends said the pick was genius. Alas......

I STARTED the Peterman thread?!?! :bag:

Buckeye fans said maybin pick was genius? 

46 pages, I don't know if I posted in it or not, afraid to look.

 

I did notice in the TJ Graham thread that there is no mention at all of Russell Wilson. Also in the Lil Donte thread, Bunkley's name gets dropped a whole lot more times than Ngata. Revisionists. :doh:

Now I know Josh hasn't really "made it" yet but this is still a classic.

 

Yea I hated the pick. I am pleasantly pleased and surprised with where he is but I have never denied hating the pick.

Most fans did, because the media told us that we wanted Rosen. I was disappointed by the pick but got on board pretty quick. I couldn't find my comments in that thread and I honestly don't remember what I said, but I don't watch college ball so it's hard for me to have any strong opinions coming in. I remember liking Mayfield and Darnold a lot, but figured we wouldn't have a chance to get them, so I settled on Rosen. Leading up to the draft I argued a lot that Josh Allen wouldn't be successful due to his low college completion percentage. But I was wrong. Allen is good. Let's hope he becomes great.

My opinion was not based on what the media said it was based on lots and lots of tape watching. Doesn't mean I didn't get it wrong but I wasn't just parroting what others said.

That should show everyone how hard it is to evaluate college players and why those that do it well make the big bucks.

OK, here's a good one... Right on. Pete! :thumbsup::

 

 

Well the definition of "high motor guy" has not changed. You've got your Wilikies and Tszuskas of the world. 

 

I was not on this board, but I thought Blaine Gabbert was going to be something truly special. I also really liked Joey Harrington back in the day. So we all have moments.
