The Beginning of the End

Boomer wanted what was best for the franchise as he and Fulcher went to Mike petitioning to go D in the first round of the 1992 draft. This is why I balk when some try to compare his motives to those of CP9.

The not only do we make the stupid move of drafting Klingler in 92 we make the mistake of going D in the 1st round the next 2 years instead of selecting players such as Willie Roaf and Marshall Faulk that could help Klingler. With Faulk there would have been no need to draft Ki-Jana in 95 and we could have looked at a replacement in an highly talented QB out of Alcorn State.

Ok now I'm depressed.

One of the biggest draft day failures was not taking Roaf who literally was throwing the Alabama teammate (Curry) of the DE we took in the draft (Copeland) around like he was a little girl.   Uggghh  I ranted to my uncaring family for hours after that mistake.   Roaf ended up ripping Curry's helmet off and throwing it into the end zone.

I was drooling.   We have gotten better of late drafting, but that was a colossal failure in an era of really bad draft day decisions.
