A couple really.
1. When we gave up New Orleans entire draft to stay put and draft Akili Smith. 
2. When we drafted Jerome Simpson in the 2nd round. My fist still hurts every now and then after slamming it thru a wall in my buddies basement. We needed DL help so bad that year, we got Keith Rivers in the first.  Much like needing OL help this year, I was sure we were getting our DL in the 2nd. And the next DL listed in Mayock's top 5 was my favorite ND player that year, Trevor Laws.  I was so excited, I stood up when the card came up to the podium, "and with the 46th pick of the 2008 draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select WR from Coastal Carolina, Jerome Simpson."  Whaaat!  Who in the hell was this guy?  We literally could have taken him in the 4th or 5th round that year.  Come to find out later, he had really big hands.  Yeaah!

Blame the Saints on both sitches there lol (well, MB on the first one, actually).

In hindsight, it is AWESOME that we didn't take Laws; he was terrible and at the very least, 'rome had some great games for us, plus the flip
