That is called drafting for need.Quick (who?!?) was a head scratcher for me. Shoulda been AJeffery. Seriously, I was having Deaean Jackson flashbacks.
Pead was a head scratcher, shoulda been BWagoner or Kendricks (and getting Rok Watkins in the 5th didn't make up for it).
2014 shoulda taken Garaopolo in the 2nd or some QB in the 4th (Mettenberger?) instead of Mo Alexander. If memory serves, if we'd stayed put with our 2nd, we'd have had an extra 5th. Don't even remember what QB we wasted that 6th round pick on.
Mason coulda been Trai Turner or Gabe Jackson.
Whiff on Barrett Jones, including the continued faith in him. I guess it was just a 4th but... still... WHIFF.

I unearthed these gems for another thread... we loved Bulger so much that we skipped...
Jay Cutler to pick Tye Hill
Matt Ryan to pick Chris Long
Mark Sanchez to pick Jason Smith
Aaron Rodgers to pick Alex Barron
This is interesting now that we have historical perspective. We loved Bradford so much that we skipped
Blake Bortles to pick Greg Robinson.
History will tell on that one. Rams might go a long time before having another shot at an elite qb.
We had so much faith in Bradford's health that we didn't bother with Garaopolo or Mettenberger (or Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson).
Bulger was a great QB for a bit (don't want to get into a Bulger debate)....when you need a LT and can draft a highly rated one like Barron was why draft a QB that is going to sit?
I understand what you are saying but looking at things like this in a vacuum serves no purpose really. Every team could do it and every team could put together a team a Pro-Bowlers they by passed.
Every team could say they could have Brady starting now with Russell Wilson as their backup.
